Calendar Girl Serena Targets Sixth Wimbledon Title

London (AFP) - Serena Williams has set her sights on moving a step closer to an historic calendar Grand Slam as the world number one launches her bid for a sixth Wimbledon crown.Williams returns to the All England Club next week for the first time since her distressing meltdown midway through a doubles match last year in which she was so badly affected by an apparent virus that she could barely hit the ball over the net.Those bizarre images of a dazed Serena stumbling around Court One -- coming just days after her lacklustre third round defeat in the singles at the hands of Alize Cornet -- prompted some to suggest the American's glittering career was heading for a painful final chapter.But the 33-year-old's response has been typically dramatic and decisive.Serena won the US Open to end 2014 on a high and then swept to Australian and French Open triumphs this year, bringing her back to the All England Club within two major titles of achieving the first calendar Grand Slam since Steffi Graf claimed the four top titles in 1988."Obviously I would love to win a Grand Slam.
