To date, Williams has won a total of six US Open titles. First coming in 1999, she bagged the second in 2002. It was followed by another one in 2008. However, despite the three titles, the best was yet to come. Four years later, Serena started writing her name in the history books. Starting from 2012, she won three consecutive titles i.e. 2012, 2013, and 2014 at Flushing Meadows.
