19 GS and not giving up just yet. 3 more GS and she is going to tie with Steffi Graf (22 GS). Even if she'll have the same amount of GS, do you still put her in the same context as Steffi Graf?

I think she's already the GOAT imo...if she never wins another GS. lolComment -
Graf has to be more impressive, no matter what. Serena has the body of a Male athlete with the mentality and emotional side of a woman. Her pure ball bashing power exceeds any female on tour.Comment -
who cares? she surely doesnt.Comment -

*being impossible to verify how any of these women would have fared against Serena
in their primes, and with today's equipment, courts, and medicine, the question is
and will always be - unanswerable.Comment -
Good point. I've been wondering, since so many tennis spectators and the media, pretty much look at the GS titles first and everything else second. If I could go by the GS titles, I would say that Margaret Court is the best, but honestly, I don't believe that she's the best female tennis player of all-time. I don't buy it. Since the game of tennis has changed throughout the decades, I realize that it is hard to compare different eras. All in all, there is a widely accepted conclusion, that Steffi Graf is the G.O.A.T at the moment. Do you think, Serena Williams can some day be the best of all-time?Comment -
In my opinion, Serena already is the GOAT!!!Comment -
Shes grose. I might have to take Barthel over Serena if I had to choose who to take to the sack. Does Barthel have a meth problem or just bad acne?

Oh please, Serena is the best ever
If somehow we could pit her against Graff in each of their primes, Serena would smoke her 6-2 6-1Comment -
Serena and Graf tough call
I think Graf's ground strokes would of buried Serena and she had a great serve also
If they play 10 times in their prime Graf 7-3 or 6-4
Goat??? One of fiercest competitors of all times only diva we will ever see in women's tennis

I always loved Steffi but Seles was dominating their h2h up to the time of the incident (which was sadly why it happened). As a result & thru no fault of her own, Steffi grabbed extra GS titles. Regarding Serena tho, I miss someone like Henin truly going toe to toe with her. Only Azarenka at full fitness, or Kvitova with a brain transplant, have the talent to provide consistently competitive matches against her.Comment -
as disgusting as serena is, she is the best ever
and i also wouldn't be surprised if she won a gs in her 40s

Sorry, but this has got to be the biggest laugh I have had in quite some time. Graf's groundies would of buried "Sarena's"??? Are you fing kidding me JJ??? I know you aren't a tennis guy, but this is just laughable. Have you ever actually watched Graf play a match?? Her eastern forehand, almost continental & her only slice backhand. And you think she would of eaten up Sarena's massive topspin power game? Oh Lord, lol!!! It's funny to me how someone can make a statement like that & really have no idea what they are really talking about.
And you think Graf would beat Sarena 70% of the time if they met in their primes?? Wow, JJ, just so you know Patty is right. Sarena would win probably 2&2 & it would be Graf that wins probably 3 of 10 match ups. Maybe! It was a different game back then. Lots of court massaging. Slicing. Rushing the net on over half her points. Etc.. You simply can't match that to today's game & power. Graf would of been abused coming to the net so much by the pace & control of Sarena's groundies. Actually, would be a fairly boring match if Sarena was on her game. It's like comparing McEnroe rushing the net every point in his old school tennis. You think Nadal would beat John in his prime? Lol.. Same answer with Sarena vs Graf IMO..
Not even close. What Graf did was amazing. What happ to Seles opened that path for her. Sarena has done it facing so many greats along the way. And yes, I could see her winning a GS even around 40 with her game. And yes, I would consider her the GOAT already not only bec or her accomplishments, but her pure psychical ability as well..Comment -
Serena could not take the pressure of Graf
Serena gets tight on long rallies and is erratic
Graf was not..would of pinned her to the baseline all day
Biggest mistake players make vs Serena is going for corners and over hitting
Of course so hard to compare different agesComment
