— -- PARIS -- Serena Williams has played in 23 Grand Slam finals in her career and has won 19 times, more than every other woman in the Open era except for Steffi Graf. She has been ranked No. 1 for well over the past two years. She is 8-0 against her French Open final opponent,13th-seeded Lucie Safarova, who is playing in her very first Grand Slam final.
The question, however, is not Serena's considerable talent but her health. "Being in the final here in Paris means so much to me and it's very upsetting that I feel so lousy right now," she said in a release Friday.
