WIMBLEDON, England — Three down, just one to go.
In her long and ever-more remarkable career, Serena Williams has won all the major tournaments at least three times. She has won Olympic gold medals in singles and doubles. She has won WTA Tour events large and small.
But what she has not yet managed is a Grand Slam: winning the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon and the United States Open in the same year.
Saturday’s 6-4, 6-4 victory over Garbiñe Muguruza of Spain in the Wimbledon final gave her wins in the first three legs of the Slam, which could make this year’s United States Open quite an occasion.
