Serena Williams Studies To Become Nail Technician
Tennis player Serena Williams is using her downtime to become a nail technician, enrolling at the Palm Beach Nail School to become certified, Page Six reports. Williams wrote on her blog: No one likes getting their nails done more than I do. As a matter of fact I go every 4 days to get a manicure and every 7 days for a pedicure. So, I had a brilliant idea to get certified to be a nail tech. Williams will have to take 240-hours worth of classes to become certified, which she plans to do within the year. She also blogged about getting ready for the first class, buying Hello Kitty containers and a backpack: Not only do I plan on being the top student to graduate from my nail school, but I also intend on being the most fashionable! We have to wear blue scrubs.

Serena Williams Wins 2010 Australian Open
MELBOURNE, Australia — Serena Williams won her second straight Australian Open championship, ending Justine Henin’s hopes of a Grand Slam title in her return from retirement with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 victory Saturday. Williams withstood a determined challenge from Henin before securing her fifth Australian Open title overall and 12th Grand Slam singles championship overall, tying Billie Jean King. King was at the stadium on Saturday night to take part in a pre-match ceremony to honor the 40-year anniversary of Margaret Court’s four Grand Slam tournament wins in 1970. “Billie, we are tied,” Williams said. “So I’ve reached my goal.” Williams’ five Australian titles is the most by any woman in the Open Era, since 1968, surpassing the four held by Margaret Court, Evonne Goolagong Cawley, Steffi Graf and Monica Seles. Court holds 11 Australian Open titles overall, most coming before 1968. Henin, who had most of the crowd support at Rod Laver Arena, couldn’t match her fellow Belgian Kim Clijsters’ feat of winning in her Grand Slam comeback tournament. Clijsters won last year’s U.S. Open in her return from a two-year retirement after getting married and having a daughter. Williams won the last four games to clinch the championship in just over two hours, falling on her back in celebration after match point. “It was definitely a tough match mentally and physically,” Williams said. “We were both out there to prove something, and I think we did at the end of the day.” It was an impressive run by Henin.
