Born September 26, 1981: Serena Williams, American tennis star

Serena has a total of 23 Grand Slam singles titles--which is the most by any player in the Open Era and the second-most overall behind Margaret Court. Meanwhile, Serena also holds the record of most Grand Slam titles in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles combined among the active tennis players. If Serena manages to clinch the 2020 French Open title, she will become the second oldest player to seal a Grand Slam after Molla Mallory --who won 1926 US Open trophy at the age of 42.
