The American star has not won the French Open since her amazing 2015 season. She definitely wants to win it again especially since she can achieve another incredible feat – the quadruple Grand Slam. This requires a player to win every Slam 4 times and it is incredibly tough. Completing it would be a great addition to Serena’s already-long list of achievements and hopefully, she will do it when the event starts on September 27th.
