One of Serena Williams' most unlikely slam wins, 5 out of her 7 matches went 3 sets whilst she battled a nasty cold and an elbow injury.
Showing once again her mental strength, she battled past worthy rivals such as Azarenka, Stephens and Safarova to take this title on clay and keep Serena Slam 2.0 alive (which she would complete by winning Wimbledon). The Bascinsky semi-final remains one of her most remarkable wins..
The GOAT would complete the triple career grand slam with this 20th Slam win.
