Serena's 10th Slam moves her back to No. 1
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Serena Williams always selects a special outfit to bring to Australia for a victory celebration. Every second year, she gets to wear it.
Williams' 6-0, 6-3 rout of Dinara Safina on Saturday earned her a 10th Grand Slam title, a fourth Australian title - coming each odd-numbered year since 2003 - and the No. 1-ranking.
``I actually forgot until the end when I was saying hi to my box. They're like, 'Hey, you're No. 1.' I was like, 'Oh, yeah,''' she said.
Not that a number means everything.
``I always believe I'm the best, whether I'm No. 1 or 100,'' she said. ``Just having that extra bonus is pretty cool.''
