Venus Williams, the seven-time Grand Slam Champion, is one of the best players in WTA. The American tennis professional loves playing on the greens of Wimbledon. In fact, four out of her seven Grand Slam victories were on the courts of Wimbledon. Apart from being invincible on the grass courts, Williams also imposes a serious threat to the players aiming for a title on hard courts as she has two US Open titles under her name. The American star was the runner-up in the 2003 and 2017 Australian Open.

Williams locked horns with Jelena Jankovic in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2007. She was trailing behind with just one game victory and three game loss in the first set.

Eventually, she flipped the entire energy of the game and slipped the match out of Jelena’s hands. However, Venus failed to defeat former world no.1 Justine Henin in the semifinals of the tournament.
