I remember John McEnroe got in trouble for saying she was the greatest women’s tennis player ever.The interviewer said why women’s why not greatest tennis player ever.John said “you mean against the men? She wouldn’t be in the top 100”
Haha he got a bit of grief for that

But he was right:
Another event dubbed a "Battle of the Sexes" took place during the 1998 Australian Open between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena Williams had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world's top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. Braasch was described by one journalist as "a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple of bottles of ice cold lager". The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park, after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two shandies. He first took on Serena and after leading 5–0, beat her 6–1. Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2.
Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance". He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun" and that the big difference was that men can chase down shots much more easily and put spin on the ball that female players could not handle. The Williams sisters adjusted their claim to beating men outside the top 350.

14-0 in Grand Slam Doubles with Venus
250 Million Net
Similar to Jordan with the NBA, I lost track of the WTA after Gaby Sabatini retired
Assuming she has had the best career totals of any woman or somewhere in the same ballpark with Graf?

I liked her fine when she just played tennis.
But then she started virtue signaling so she can fuck off.

I think a guy on WFAN got in trouble on IMUS for making fun of her.
I also soured on when her when she started pushing the politics.
She isn’t in your face about it, but it’s consistent.
She often did not take her fitness seriously as it seems she became a bit complacent having such a physical advantage over the other women.
She obviously made the sport better being around so long and playing at a high level into her late 30’s.

actually the ONLY record Serena has is the all time OPEN record of grand slam (aussie, french, wimbledon, u.s.) singles titles, Open meaning open tennis for pros and amateurs since 1968, with 23.. the all time record is 24 by margaret court...
in actuality, both graf and navratilova have more records than serena....
graf grand slam and the longest number #1 of all time and at 22 just one behind serena in number of grand slam singles titles... also graf had the distinction of winning at least 4 titles at all 4 grand slams something no other woman in history has done...
navratilova, most singles tournament wins of all time, tied for 20 wimbledons all time (singles,doubles, mixed doubles), most singles, doubles and mixed doubles tournament victories of al time, longest winning streak of all time at 74 matches in a row... the best ever singles record in a year all time at 86-1 and had to contend with another easily all time top 5 chris evert for nearly 20 years....
also both navratilova and evert skipped countless grand slam tournaments for various reasons, so even the 23 grand slam singles titles that serena has need to be put into context....
evert for example only played the aussie open 6 times in her 20 year career... she missed out on 3 french opens in a row playing world team tennis, when she was unbeatable on clay, so that right there would add 3 more grand slam singles titles to her 18 she won...
if navratilova or evert had played all 4 slams every year they would have way more than serena in grand slam singles titles and countless more if one or the other hadn't existed....
evert herself can make a play for being the goat... Highest winning percentage of all time, the all time record of wins on a single surface that being 125 matches in a row over a 6 year span on clay... all time record of winning at least 1 grand slam singles titles for 13 years consecutively (remember years she DID NOT play all 4 slam tournaments) and 2nd all time in number of singles tournment wins....
graf navratilova and evert are in the top 5 all time and had to compete with each other, who did serena have to compete against once these 3 left the game? hall of famers and great players but other than her sister Venus, hingis and never the same seles, davenport, capriati and clijsters...not in the same league as graf navratilova and evert..
also martina and chris had to play against court, king, goolagong, austin, mandlikova, graf, seles, sabatini, their list of rivals for 20 years totally are greater than serena's list of rivals for her career...

Woman’s tennis is the most popular woman’s sport in the world.
I understand gays may not like it, but a straight man would want to watch someone like Kalinskaya, Giorgi, or Bouchard play.

I’d pump some fun into her bum if she agreed to scream out Goodrum’s name when she orgasmed.

He said she would be ranked around 700 in the men's ranking which is very true.

Not a fan of their "look" (Choco-Women). Nothing personal.
Heck, Black feller's barely like them.

keanu: actually she wouldn't even be in the top 1000... the top male college players who have no ranking would beat her...
years ago, chris evert when she was number #1 and already a all time great (top 5 for sure) stated that her brother who played college tennis at vanderbilt would always and easily so beat her when they played....

what are you talking about? it was put to rest years ago about Serena and the men's tour/game. her power game really isn't that much different than graf's one-handed game. both would have difficulty just returning service. they would set records for "love" games against them.

G-Thang: i'm responding to the post of Keanu who stated that Mcenroe said she would be ranked around 700 for men and in my opinion Mcenroe is actually off the mark about this as my post with information suggests....
