Williams to top rankings in singles and doubles

PARIS - Serena Williams will find herself at the top of the rankings in singles and doubles next week, joining an elite group of players to have achieved such a feat.

Serena and her sister Venus clinched the No 1 ranking in doubles by winning their French Open semifinal against Liezel Huber and Anabel Medina Garrigues, 2-6, 6-2, 6-4.

That victory came hours after Serena was eliminated in the quarterfinal of the singles by Australia's Samantha Stosur.
