Tennis superstar Serena Williams was on course for a calendar year Grand Slam. In the past, she has won all the major tournaments and has achieved the “Serena Slam” by holding all Grand Slams at the same time but not in the same calendar year.
This time, she was aiming to take things to the next level by winning all the major tennis championships in the same year – Australian Open, French Open (Roland Garros), Wimbledon and finally the US Open. She had won the first 3 this year and after winning the first set of her semi-final match against unseeded Italian Roberta Vinci, Serena fans were already celebrating in advance.
Unfortunately, it was not meant to be as she lost the next 2 sets 6-4 / 6-4.
Drake watching Serena’s match
Serena fans are inconsolable and many are blaming her rumoured boyfriend Drake for “distracting her”. Coincidentally, Serena was spotted leaving the stadium with Drake.
We are still very proud of Serena and while she may not have the same-year Grand Slam. She is undoubtedly one of the greatest athletes in the history of Tennis.

Not quite that dear. Serena is just in her early 30. She still has some time to play. But watch her carriage in that match, it was pride and over confidence. She taught beating Vinci was just a forgone issue. But life isn't always like that. Sometimes, we learn through our failures in life. Our dear Serena must have learnt that those who fail are not just never-do-wells. This will make her humbler the next time and to take every match as seriously as the other even if she is playing a crippled. Meanwhile, Kudos to Vinci. She outplayed Serena.

I think is not the body, as she has won 3 slams this year alone...
