Serena Williams didn’t shy away from modestly and broke it right down: she says she’s No. 1 even though the women’s tennis rankings indicate otherwise. Dinara Safina of Russia overtook Williams in the rankings two weeks ago.

Williams does have 10 Grand Slam titles, while Safina has zero. “She can say this because she won many more Grand Slams than me,” the 23-year-old Safina said. “But she’s also older than me so she has more experience. So let’s see when I’m her age how many titles I have and then we can say.”
