“There is no question. She is the greatest player of all,” she said.
“I think the fact that we question this as well is part of what I was talking about, the sexism that she’s had to overcome throughout her career.
“She’s often referred to as the greatest female player of all time – she has 23 Grand Slams in the open era and that’s more than any male or any female.”
In this episode of The Sport, Sam and co-host Marty McKenzie Murray look back on Serena’s career, reminiscing on all of her on-court victories and off-court battles that made her…
The GOAT.
