you make no sense.

Isn't Graf is 22/42 and Serena is 23/42 then Serena is ahead. And Court 24/42 is ahead of both.

Rewrite it

Percentages are gay.

I mean, what's the point? Nadal could lose to some top claycourters perhaps his rivals or some future FO champions, but he could play for 4 more years and lose 4 times.

He'd then have worse FO stats than Borg.

Surely you're not saying Borg would be ahead?


Secondly it's retarded to create such stupid "pressure" situation that a player must win all slams in short time-span. Stupid path.


Imo Serena's "problem" is primarily lack of CYGS. She should have got it, considering she played without a major rival for the most part of her career. I mean I can downgrade Graf due to stabbing, not her fault but she profited off of it, however she did win CYGS before Seles was a major force. Serena didn't.

It means all the goat contenders have have some all-time claims, records to their name, Court, Evert, Navratilova, Graf, Moody.

Bizarrely Serena, even though she'll always be part of tier 1, so far has none, she lacks major all-time records next to her name. We spoke about it.

So in order to make her undisputed goat, her fans are forced to create some fantasy scenarios. Saying CYGS totally not important, and insist on strict split between amateur and open era in female tennis. Ok.

We are not comparing single slams here... it is entire career.

Shouldn't the comparisons also include some reference to doubles Slam
wins, both women's and mixed?

Not while determining the best singles player. Steffi hardly played doubles anyway.

Earlier in this thread you wrote: "We are not comparing single slams

It seems to me that "entire career: includes all tennis played by these
players. That is when I made my comment.

If you include doubles and mixed doubles, Serena is nowhere close to being GOAT. Court and Navratilova have far superior numbers.

When I said entire career, I mean singles career... doubles is an afterthought in all these discussions.
