On fire: Serena Williams

Everyone around women's tennis knows that, when she's fit and focused, Serena Williams is almost unbeatable. And on this 2008 season it seems she is, because she has just lost one match in the whole season so far. This week she captured her third title of the season on Charleston, after winning Bangalore and Miami. She remains unbeaten since she was defeated by Jelena Jankovic in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open, so she has won 15 consecutive matches. Furthermore, in the last month Serena has defeated 4 of the Top 5 players: Maria Sharapova, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Jelena Jankovic (avenging of her Australian Open defeat) and Justine Henin, who was trashed by Williams 6/2 6/0. And she could increase her victory streak in the upcoming European clay season leading to Roland Garros, where she will be one of the main favorites for the title.


Serena is also one of the most popular players offcourt. She's interested in fashion and acting and is not strange to watch her dressed-up at parties and movie premieres. She was even featured in the 2003 edition of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in a sexy bikini photoshoot.
