Paris: Done with a
dominating performance in the French Open semifinals, Serena Williams
climbed the stairs leading from the locker room to the players’ lounge,
looking to give her mother a hug.
To collect her 16th Grand Slam title on Saturday, Williams will
need to beat defending champion Maria Sharapova, who put aside 11
double-faults and got past third-seeded Victoria Azarenka, 6-1, 2-6,
6-4, in a much more competitive semifinal.
The final features the top two women in the rankings and seedings,
No. 1 Williams and No. 2 Sharapova. They are 1-2 among active players in
French Open match wins, Williams with 45, Sharapova with 43.
And they are two of three active women with more than two major
championships; Sharapova completed a career Grand Slam in Paris last
year with No. 4.
But both these stars are famous for not just their game but also their looks.
