honestly is serena williams the GOAT Female athlete??

[El Bombi]

3 are from doubles...Anna Kournikova has won Doubles titles, and she was trash.

The Heptatahlon is 7 different events in itself, and JJK's record in the event is still unbeaten after 25 years.

and she won that shyt twice.

if we're just basing this off athleticism, JJK>>>>>>>Serena.

Well if that the case.

Carl Lewis>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Michael Jordan.

[MegaTronBomb!]

Well if that the case.

Carl Lewis>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan also sucked at baseball, so yeah... you right.

as pure athletes, Michael Jordan would not even rank in the top 25 blacks of all time.


but Carl Lewis is a hating fakkit, but he's still a far better athlete than Jordan.

Venus is the better tennis player tho...

That hasn't been the case in 12 years breh

Gotta disagree. Serena's resume is much longer than Venus', yes. Serena's dominance was sustained over a longer period of time, yes.

But take both players at their peak performance levels, and nobody in history is beating a Venus Williams at her best.

[NOTE* Both Venus and Serena have been set back by major injuries and personal life traumas, and Serena has been able to bounce back fairly often and keep up her performance at close to her peak. So she has the results to show for that. There's a lot to be said for personal resilience. And both Venus and Serena are far ahead of everybody else.]

When Venus was on she couldn't be beat. I admit that's a personal opinion. But I liked her approach to the game. Every time she swung the racket, every shot, she was looking to hit a winner. In those 2 years of her peak, the only way Venus could lose is if she beat herself with unforced errors. Venus still has the record for fastest serve in history. The power of her ground-strokes was unmatched, tho Serena's came close (Serena's serve was also close, but no cigar). Venus's court coverage was also unmatched, she was fast as hell, and her length further allowed her to get to every ball. It is Venus who taught everybody, both men and women players, about the swinging forehand volley. That used to be a tennis no-no.

Serena is the GOAT, I admit. The resume of sustained excellence is too long. But there is a coffee-shop argument for Venus being the better player.

 

[Reggie]

Serena a bad chick and she just might be the GOAT. I'm surprised no one has ever threw any Ped accusations at her.

 

[Real]

Don't forget, Venus' serve was just as good as Serena's.


Serena still the goat doe

 

[Lakers Offseason]

The only player who played her competitively all the time was Justin Henin. Too bad she decided to retire.

 

[mackylos]

She is BEAST

Yes followed closely by her sister Venus. Serena could conceivably play at a high level until she is 35.

Since you're counting how many titles each player has to judge who's better, I know you couldn't possibly be addressing my post. I know you're not stupid. You must've quoted the wrong person.
