French Open 2015: Serena Williams wins landmark 20th major
Paris (CNN)— Serena Williams is closing in on Steffi Graf of Germany.
Despite still not being 100% due to an illness that's affected her for around a week, the American beat Lucie Safarova 6-3 6-7 (2) 6-2 to win the French Open on Saturday and claim a landmark 20th major.

But this after Williams did the almost unthinkable by blowing a 4-1 advantage in the second set and trailing 2-0 in the third.
Williams recovered and now only Graf has amassed more majors in
the Open Era at 22. With the American still going strong at the age
of 33, Graf's record is under serious threat.
