52. do you mean Seles (she was Hungarian/Yugoslavian)

Probably not. Graf won six of her titles while Seles was absent after the attack. But, then again, a healthy Seles and a healthy Graf might have had an Evert-Navratilova type rivalry that would have elevated them both. Either way, though, the field wasn't as deep during Steffi's tenure.

Muguruza played a great first set, and then Serena kind of settled in and figured her out.

What she is doing is amazing. There have only been about 20 grand slam titles won by women over thirty, and Serena has eight of them. And I don't think she's done.
