Will Serena William Equal The Grand Slam Record?

It is a question that all fans would have been asking after they watched a disappointed Serena Williams leave the court at the Australian Open earlier in the year, but will Williams ever win the Grand Slam title that she needs to match the record set by Margaret Court?

The 39-year-old was visibly disappointed as she left the court at the Rod Laver Arena, and there was a sense that her chance of history was finally slipping away from her. As she sent a final wave to the crowd, many pondered whether that was an indication that this could have been the final time that we would see the legendary American Down Under in the Grand Slam event.

There is no denying that her career is finally drawing to a close, but after her 2017 success at the Australian Open, it only looked a matter of time before the record would be hers. However, Grand Slam disappointment has only followed the American since returning to the sport after giving birth, and with young stars now looking to pave their only future, the chances of another Williams victory in one of the four Grand Slams is fading with every passing event. She hasn’t been without her chances since returning, as she has been agonisingly beaten in the final in four of the 12 Grand Slams that she has appeared in.

Before every final, fans have felt that this was finally her time, but her opponent has always played the part of a pantomime villain that she has been unable to overcome. There was something different about the defeat in Australia though, as Naomi Osaka never looked like losing the game, as she routinely won in straight sets. The power of the Williams serve never troubled the talented eventual winner of the Grand Slam, and there were signs that Serena’s powers were fading.

Serena is always at her most dangerous when she is being written off, and that could mean that there is a chance that she finally achieves her goal of winning the elusive Grand Slam title that she desires this season. It would be hard to see that success coming at the French Open, as the American hasn’t won at Roland Garros since 2015, and has only won three titles on the clay surface. However, the two golden chances for her this season will come in the form of Wimbledon or the US Open. Both would be fitting Grand Slams to create history, as both have played a starring role throughout her career.

Sportsbooks found at bettingbonus.online currently give her a decent chance of winning Wimbledon this year, which isn’t entirely surprising given her dominant
