Serena Williams Set to Return to #1 after Doha Quarterfinal Win Over Kvitova

Doha - Women's Quarterfinal

2 Serena Williams d 7 Petra Kvitova - 36 63 75

Well. This was only a matter of time.

And with not a ton to defend before Wimby she'll stay at #1 for a spell.

On Monday she'll become the oldest #1 in WTA history - nearly 31 1/2.

It also marks Serena's 6th time at #1 - her first: July 8, 2002.

Post match: I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to get back to #1.

It has been a long road back and it's a great feeling.

It has been a lot of hard work but I don't want to stop here.

Oh honey, it won't.
