WIMBLEDON, England (AP) - Even with three of the last four Grand Slam titles in her possession, Serena Williams will stay behind No. 1 Dinara Safina when the WTA rankings are released Monday.
The second-ranked Williams beat older sister Venus in the Wimbledon final on Saturday, adding to the major championships she won at the U.S. Open in September and at the Australian Open in January. Still, Serena remains No. 2 in the rankings.
"My motivation is maybe just to win another Grand Slam and stay No. 2, I guess," she said after beating Venus 7-6 (3), 6-2 for her third Wimbledon title and 11th Grand Slam championship overall. "I'd rather definitely be No. 2 and hold three Grand Slams in the past year than be No. 1 and not have any."
