As the tour wades through grass surfaces and players head toward Wimbledon, the two Roland Garros women’s finalists hope to build upon their momentum when play moves into the summer.

Serena Williams understands her place in history and the legacy she is capable of leaving once she hangs up her racket. It is this perspective that now fuels the American, and she has made it clear that her goals are centered around success at the majors. Williams does not shy away from acknowledging the records accrued as she continues to rack up titles.

With this in mind, Williams has a unique opportunity in front of her. After earning championships at the last three majors (which date back to the 2014 U. S. Open), she finds herself just two behind Steffi Graf’s 22 career Grand Slam titles. Additionally, having taken the Australian Open championship and most recently the French Open title, she is halfway to a calendar year Grand Slam. Only three women have accomplished this difficult feat in singles.  Maureen Connolly, Margaret Court, and none other than Graf have each achieved this feat.

If you detect a theme for the remainder of Williams’ 2015 season, you are not alone. There is a potential common denominator that could turn this year into one of the greatest for an individual player in the history of the game. With titles at the upcoming Wimbledon and U. S. Open, Williams would not only equal Graf’s 22 career major championships but would be the first woman to fulfill a calendar year Grand Slam since the German attained it in 1988. And while it will certainly be a difficult road, the legacy-conscious Williams is quite aware of the potential achievements ahead. With the ambitious 33-year-old aware of how this will shape the body of work that she will leave behind, it should serve as motivational fuel in the coming months. Already on the Mount Rushmore of women’s champions, Williams can certainly cement her place in the discussion of the greatest woman to ever pick up a racket with continued success in 2015.

Meanwhile, Lucie Safarova’s goals are much more modest as she builds upon her greatest career success thus far. The Roland Garros runner-up will simply seek to continue her best professional season yet.

2015 has been one in which the Czech has peaked to world No. 6. The 28-year-old has had a career filled   with ups-and-downs, historically appearing as though she would become an elite player only to face a setback. Now, after her sixth career title at Doha and her run to the Roland Garros final, she is in a position to become a steady factor at Grand Slam events.

With Wimbledon approaching, Safarova will look to take her results of 2014 a step farther this year. With a strong run in London last season, she battled but lost to eventual champion Petra Kvitova in the semifinals. Now, with momentum from the French Open and what will be a higher seed, Safarova will once again be poised for a strong result.

The Czech has proven that she is capable of competing with the best toe-to-toe. After defeating world No. 2 Maria Sharapova in Paris and pushing Williams to a tough three-set victory in the final, her confidence must certainly be soaring. Now in her prime, Safarova has finally risen to a level where she is in the discussion as a potential champion in most tournaments she enters. “It took me quite a few years to get to this point,” she said. “I hope it’s not a finish point and that I can still improve this.”

Clearly, the left-hander has improved past weaknesses and has worked herself into her best career shape. As the summer begins, she will certainly be a threat to anyone placed in front of her.

Both Williams and Safarova appear content to focus on recovering from the grueling two weeks in Paris as opposed to logging play at pre-Wimbledon grass tournaments. Safarova recently pulled out of the Birmingham event, opting for rest. Meanwhile, Williams looks to continue to regain her maximum health with Wimbledon beginning in less than two weeks.
