Back in 2014, the younger Williams sibling claimed her 18th Grand Slam title, the US Open, while her bestie and on-court rival, Wozniacki, ended her season with a defeat from Willams. However, instead of relaxing and getting back on the court for the off-season, Wozniacki challenged herself to a marathon; the New York City Marathon. She aced it in an impressive 3:26:33.
