…Grand Slam singles titles ever at 22 — a feat that would be awesome fuel and energy just weeks before Wimbledon.
Williams insisted to CNN that she “loves the clay” surface she’ll be competing on in the coming days — and she’s acted like it as of late, winning two of the last three French Open titles.

Go ‘head Serena!
