Serena, jeered during her final victory over Belgium’s Kim Clijsters 14 years ago by a crowd unhappy that Venus Williams had pulled out of a scheduled semi-final against her sister the previous day at the last minute, defeated Romania’s Monica Niculescu 7-5, 7-5 to win in straight sets on Friday, March 13, 2015.
After her emotional victory, Serena Willams was given a standing ovation as she made her way out of the court.
