Serena Williams is enjoying a late spring in France. In a showdown that featured No. 1 ranked Williams against the number two seed Maria Sharapova, Williams won in two sets 6-4, 6-4.

“Fist pumping and screaming “C’mon!” almost from the get-go, Sharapova survived a 0-40 deficit in the opening game and then broke Williams for 2-0.

But the 26-year-old failed to convert two game points on her serve the next game, and Williams – invoking some vocal histrionics and menacing fist pumps of her own – broke back.”

The legendary Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova each have 18 Grand Slam titles. Now, Williams is only two away from reaching that milestone.
