20 and counting! Serena challenged by Safarova in Roland Garros final, but not enough

Serena Williams is so dominant that no player can come close to her, especially in Grand Slam finals. In Saturday's championship match of Roland Garros, first it seemed that Lucie Safarova would have absolutely no chance, but the Czech stirred our emotions in the second set, showed her heart and gut and saved herself from the brink of defeat as not many players could with Serena on the other side of the net. Despite that resurrection and an initial lead in the decider, it was Serena who celebrated her 20th Grand Slam title and exposed her French language skills in the winner's interview.
