CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:

Serena Williams was born on September 26, 1981, in Saginaw, Michigan, and is the youngest of five daughters. Her parents, Oracene Price and Richard Williams, coached her and her older sister Venus in tennis.

Serena turned professional in October 1995, and won her first major singles title at the 1999 US Open. She became the second African-American woman to win a Grand Slam singles tournament, after Althea Gibson.

In 1997, as a relatively unknown player ranked No. 304, Serena defeated both No. 7 Mary Pierce and No. 4 Monica Seles at the Ameritech Cup Chicago. This made her the lowest-ranked player in the Open Era to defeat two top-10 opponents in one tournament.

Serena achieved her first "Serena Slam" by winning all four major singles titles from the 2002 French Open to the 2003 Australian Open, each time defeating Venus in the final. This accomplishment secured both a career Grand Slam and a non-calendar year Grand Slam for her.
