Serena Williams In Pursuit of 22nd Grand Slam at French Open

Famed tennis players Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic are in pursuit to break more records. According to USA Today, when the two professionals step onto the tennis court to begin their French Open campaigns, not only will they face their respected opponents, but they will also go up against history.
For Williams, she’s on the continued chase for a 22nd Grand Slam, her third attempt to tie Steffi Graf’s record. For Djokovic, however, he’s looking to complete the career Grand Slam—winning all four majors at least once.
“I will try to get my hands on this title this year,” Djokovic said. “But if it doesn’t happen, you know, there is always another year, because I don’t have any intention of slowing down yet.”
Williams chases her 22nd Grand Slam for a third consecutive major; it took her four attempts to reach number 18, which stressed the athlete out, a feeling Williams would rather not relive.
The French Open begins yesterday [Sunday, May 22].
