STILL THE #1 BABY!

Serena too good. Happy for Venus though.

Steffi vs. Serena would be something.

Give me Graf.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Graf? This ain't the 80's. She can get it too!

 

[eiddyfouw]

Serena too good. Happy for Venus though.

Steffi vs. Serena would be something.

Give me Graf.

Serena beat Graf's record playing a very high level of tennis combined with a much more gruelling schedule of tennis.

Serena is the superior player.

 

[651akathepaul]

What?

Get it, as in what? Smash?

 

[651akathepaul]

It's not that simple.

Graf was a beast. Homie thought she was 80s, clearly he don't know. She was great well into the 90s.

 

[eiddyfouw]

Where is Steffi? She should be there...

 

[thadangerousmind]

If Seles wouldn't have gotten stabbed Graf would have retired with far less slams.

Possibly.

I like Graf.

Many of us like Graf too. I respect her immensely for what she's done.

But Serena is just on another level.

 

[eiddyfouw]

I got a feeling she'll break Margaret Court's record...now that this hurdle is over...

 

[651akathepaul]

Double

 

[651akathepaul]

I got a feeling she'll break Margaret Court's record...now that this hurdle is over...

Well, yeah.

 

[otakuant]

I have never felt so uncomfortable watching a tennis match ever.

Welp, my head was right. It felt like Serena could've and should've put away the match sooner.

I feel so bad for Venus... More than likely the last time we'll ever see her in a final.

I agree, but comparing eras like that isn't so simple with tennis.

Steffi was ahead of her time, but playing all-time competition. Serena is definitely the most dominant, but against far inferior talent to play.

Nothing there is arguable.

Thi!

I give Graf props for never being salty and borderline racist like those other old washed up hags.

That Nike commercial

Greatest ever!

 

[eiddyfouw]

Serena rockin J's on the court

 

[651akathepaul]

While the conversation is poppin', where do folks stand on the best ever for the men?

Sampras, Federer, Nadal?...Others?

Don't get me wrong, I don't it would be a massacre. But I personally think if you put them both together in their prime, I think Serena would come out on top.


I'm disappointed that Steffi didn't show up at least in the crowd to see Serena break her record.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Going to bed on that note. I didn't expect Graf to be there. When she retired she really retired. It's evident that she wants nothing to do with tennis.

 

[651akathepaul]

Steffi pegs me as the stubborn type. . She wouldnt show up.

 

[mpire]

She showed up to the U.S. Open in 2015 when we thought Serena was gonna tie the record.

Still never forget when many people including most on here, said Serena's career was over after the first round exit in Roland Garos in 2012.

 

[otakuant]

I hate it when ESPN shows the misleading stat of how many Slams Serena won in her 30s compared to Steffi.

It's kind of hard to win a Slam in your 30s when you retire at 29.

Congrats to Serena!

Now I'm hoping for a Bryan brothers win!
