What a run. That’s my GOAT

But damn I’m a little pissed, should’ve won that first set, and even if she didn’t, she should’ve closed out that second set a lot sooner and maybe would’ve had more energy for the third.

Wasted opportunities, easily winnable game

I think women's tennis is different than the big 4 major American sports. Most people couldn't name the current top 3 ranked women's players. Many people only watch the US open when Serena plays. I really think Serena is bigger than the sport

My family never gave a fukk about tennis until Venus and serena. We were familiar with Andre agasee because his name rang bells, and Tennis used to come on USA before Monday night raw.
At this point we watch tennis for black players and only keep up with their stats and no one elses... oh and Mario tennis is lit. Im sure there are alot of Black people like this. So yeah I would say Serena is bigger than the sport.

:dahell: Jordan was still a top 15 player easily :dead:

nikkas wilding... as if Jordan didn't have multiple 30+ games and score 50 as a 40yr old... snatching blocks out of mid air and shyt... Air GOATdan... and his team was ass. Imagine if he went to a contender.... If Jordan ring chased instead of going to the wizards he at least has 2 more rings... which mightve made him stick around and collect more.

Which would have been hypocritical since that’s exactly what some people shyt on other players for doing and defeat a major argument that they use in Jordan’s defense.

Agreed. The wizards were poorly put together before he even put on a jersey though. Forget the fact that they weren't a super team, they weren't even a decent regular team lol. And there was still hope before the injuries took over.
