. ROME (AP) - Serena Williams says she's No. 1 in the world even
though the women's tennis rankings indicate otherwise.
Dinara Safina of Russia overtook Williams in the rankings two
weeks ago, but Williams says "quite frankly, I'm the best in the
world."
Williams made her comments Monday at the Italian Open.
Safina has never won a Grant Slam title, and was beaten in the
Australian Open final this year by Williams, who has won 10 Grand
Slam titles.
Safina says she is still coming to terms with her new position
but insists it is well deserved. She notes she has played in two
Grand Slam finals and won four titles last year.
