"Serena Slam" almost didn't happen, as twice she was a point away from losin in the semifinals to Kim Clijsters. The Belgium player had stunned Serena in the Year-End Championships of 02 in straight sets, and she seemed well on her way for another upset victory. Kim was leading 6-4, 3-6, 5-1 when Serena fought back and ran off six straight games, saving two matchpoints along the way.

Does anyone really know Serena Williams? In town to play at the 2005 Rogers Cup at the Rexall Centre, Williams looked refreshed, but a tad weary as she entered the room for her first official press conference and sat down at a plastic table surrounded by reporters. The night before, Williams had been schmoozing at the “Aces are Wild Gala”, an event to promote junior women’s Tennis in Canada. And while many of the male guests at the party wore resplendent custom-fitted suits and expensive cocktail dresses for the women, they all craned their necks when Williams arrived, looking self-assured though cautious of the cameras and photographers and wearing tight-fitting jeans and a tank top. Instead of commenting on her casual outfit, men drooled and gushed at the 5’10 statuesque beauty as she made her way to the VIP blackjack tables.
