"Aaaaah!" and "Come on!" and choice four-letter exertions echoed around the red clay courts as the world's best women's player bumbled away a comfortable advantage over lower-seded Lucie Safarova. "I'm like 'How can you miss that, Serena? What are you doing out there?'" Williams tells TIME. "'You amke this shot a million times. Why are you missing it now?' I'm trying to get myself boosted." Tied 2-2 in the decisive third set, Williams aced Safarova and dropped another loud F bomb. Boosted. She would go on to win four straight games, closing out her 20th major tournament victory and pulling within two more of the Grand Slam, a sweep of all four major tournaments (The Australian, French and U.S Opens, as well as Wimbledon) in the same calendar year and the rarest prize in tennis. That Williams did it while dealing with a nasty flu--she spent a few days in bed after the win-- floored even those who have a personal stake in the Greatest of All Time.
