World No.8 Serena reached her second Roland Garros finals in 2013. Surprisingly, she steamrolled over the defending champion Maria Sharapova in the finals and won her second French Open title. With this, Serena registered her name in the history books as she became one of those few players who have won each Major at least twice.
The French Open 2014 proved to be a nightmare for her as she lost to Muguruza in the second round itself. However, she bounced back and won her third Roland Garros title in 2015 after defeating Lucie Safarova in the finals. It was also the last French Open title that Serena won. In 2016, she ended as the runner-up of the tournament and couldn’t defend her title.
