In each of these tournaments, Williams faced Justine Henin in the final. Henin managed to defeat Williams in two of those finals - Berlin and Charleston, while Williams won in Rome.
Serena Williams also reached the final of the 2002 French Open during this period, defeating her older sister Venus Williams 7-5, 6-3.

Iga currently holds 21centuary record of 37 consequitive winning matches comparing to 34-Serena in 2013 and 35-Venus in 2000.
#7 The Sunshine Double hat-trick
In 2022 Iga Swiatek achived something which bind her together on list of superelite tennis names (11 who ever done it) in history claiming Miami and Indian Wells Titles. Only 3 players was able to repeat that achevement: Steffy Graf (2), Roger Federer (3) and Novak Djokovic (4 times)
Iga is only 4th Woman who ever did that in history of tennis. You will not find there Williams sisters names.
#8 Iga Swiatek becomes first woman in 15 years to record 65 wins in back-to-back seasons.
The last woman to achieve the feat was former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic, who recorded 72 wins in 2007 and 65 wins in 2008.
The last woman before that was Martina Hingis in 1999 and 2000.
No Williams Sisters there.
Most importand: The Achevement Clock still counting for Iga, but not for Serena.
Verdict
Iga got prety much her full carier to go through and already shown signes to be on the right course to become one of the gratest names in Tennis History of OPEN Era and for sure on course to beat Serena Williams with overall achievements.
Despite the early numbers heavily favoring Swiatek, the Pole will be tested for her longevity and consistency down the road.
Good Luck 1GA.
