“I’ve been able to speak up for women’s rights because I think that gets lost in colour, or gets lost in cultures. Women make up so much of this world, and, yeah, if I were a man, I would have 100 per cent been considered the greatest ever a long time ago.”
Williams is equal with German legend Steffi Graf for most major wins in the Open era and two behind Australian Margaret Court’s record 24.
Steffi Graf has 900 singles victories to 775 at a higher winning percentage. She also has 36 more career titles and spent almost a year longer at #1. I wouldn't be categorically bestowing GOAT status upon Serena Williams just yet.

But yeah play the race card and the sexism card.

Well coach is booked back to Adelaide. I'm going to do this. I'll just keep thinking about my boy.
That's what I was going to say. Surely you'd rather be at home with your family for Xmas than some shithole hillbilly country town. As others have said have a drink and some Vaium, may not knock you out but won't make the experience any harder.

What sleeping tablets are you all taking? Try some tamazepam washed down with a nice glass of Shiraz and you'll be sweet. Some sleeping tablets are bad news.
Would hate to be sitting next to Perth gal on the flight back, especially if she starts flipping out and proclaiming the plane is going to crash.
You'll be absolutely sweet, statistically speaking, you are more likely to get murdered by someone from Adelaide than by flying.

Domestic flights in Australia must be some of the safest flights in the world, I can't remember any bad plane crashes with fatalities.

Muddy Waters flogging XXXX Gold.
Kind of appropriate when XXXX Gold tastes like muddy water.

I was only a baby/child through a lot of Steffi Graf's career, so Serena Williams is easily the best female tennis player I've seen. But when you compare their records it's far too close to say that one is unequivocally better, so to claim racism or - even more ridiculously - sexism either way is, well, ridiculous.

It's not like it is clear cut like Bradman as the GOAT Test batsman - and even then some people (Indians) claim otherwise.

Without looking at the stats I would of thought Serena would hold the GOAT title but then I see that Margaret Court is still Better than both of them.

I can imagine it would of been pretty tough being a black woman in America playing amongst the blue rinse set and getting the recognition you deserve - it's disappointing that she feels that way and that the hurt cuts that deep
