Serena Williams is a history maker, we love to watch her because we know she will not go down without a fight. After defeating her older sister Venus, Serena earned her 23rd grand slam title to surpass Steffi Graf for the Open Era lead.
“It’s such a great feeling to have 23. I’ve been chasing it for a really long time,” Serena told reporters. “I knew I had an opportunity to get it here and I’m here.”
To add icing to this already delicious cake, Serena regained the No. 1 ranking from Angelique Kerber who upset Williams to win the title last year.
While we love watching Serena play she has some star studded friends who are big fans as well. One of those fans sent her a dope gift to congratulate her on her 23rd win. Number 23 himself, Michael Jordan, sent Serena two pair of Jordan’s in her favorite colors with a letter attached.
From Jordan to Williams:
“Winning is hard, it takes years of hard work, mental toughness, and a willingness to accept the fact that you hate to lose. Congratulation with much respect on winning number 23, it will be a privilege to keep watching your determination on the court. Your friend Michael Jordan.”
She was pretty excited to receive her black and pink and black and red Jordan’s from Jordan.
