Serena Williams has won the French Open title for the third time after beating Lucie Safarova 6-3, 6-7, 6-2. She now has won an incredible 20 Grand Slam titles.

Williams led 4-1 in the second set but then her serve fell apart as the 13th-seeded Czech player rallied to force a decider. And in the final set she was able to overcome Safarova and win the match.

She now has three French Open trophies to go alongside six each from the U.S. Open and Australian Open, and five from Wimbledon. She also became the first woman to win consecutive U.S. Open, Australian Open, and French Open titles since Monica Seles in 1991-92.
