IPL Cricket Stadiums & Serena Williams Quiz

Virender Sehwag was dismissed by Wayne Parnell in the India vs South Africa match. He was caught by wicketkeeper AB de Villiers for 9 runs. Parnell, the South African left-arm fast-medium bowler, took this crucial early wicket.

India scored 401/3 in their 50 overs, setting a target of 402 runs for South Africa. This was after Sachin Tendulkar's historic 200* and Dhoni's 68 off 35 balls. The target was calculated as 401 + 1 = 402 runs.

As of 2009-2010 when the question's premise of 12 total Grand Slam titles was accurate, Serena had won 3 Wimbledon titles (2002, 2003, 2009). Her total at that point included 5 Australian Opens, 3 Wimbledon, 1 French Open, and 3 US Opens. The answer reflects her Wimbledon count during that specific period of her career.

Around 2009-2010 when Serena had 12 total Grand Slam titles, she had indeed won only 1 French Open title (2002). Her lone French Open victory came early in her career, and she wouldn't win her second French Open until 2013. This makes the answer correct for that timeframe.

Venus Williams has indeed lost to Serena in 8 Grand Slam finals (4 Wimbledon, 2 US Open, 2 Australian Open), making her the opponent Serena has defeated most often in major finals.

Serena Williams defeated her sister Venus Williams in the 2009 Wimbledon final, winning 7-6, 6-2. This was one of their many meetings in Grand Slam finals and added to Serena's Wimbledon trophy collection. Venus has been Serena's opponent in multiple Wimbledon finals throughout their careers.

Serena Williams defeated Dinara Safina in the 2009 Australian Open final with a score of 6-0, 6-3. This was a dominant performance and gave Serena her 10th Grand Slam title. Safina was the World No. 1 at the time, making this victory particularly significant.
