Whenever Williams ended up winning the French Open, she was unable to defend her title. The gap between her first (2002) and second (2013) title at Roland Garros was massive. The French Open happens to be the Grand Slam event she has enjoyed lesser success at as compared to the other three tournaments.
Her results since her last win in 2015 have been unimpressive. In the following year in 2016, she came to touching distance but lost in the final. After that, she was unable to play in 2016 as she was pregnant. From 2018 to 2020, her results were making it to the fourth round, third round, and second round respectively.

Besides the French Open, since 2015, Serena has managed to win only one title on the clay-court events – the Italian Open 2016 in Rome. Over the years, there have been a number of great players that have enjoyed tremendous success in the tournaments played on other surfaces but have been less successful on the clay courts.
Nonetheless, Serena Williams has still managed to win three Grand Slam titles at the French Open. Not many players from the current era have managed to do that in the women’s game.
