5 reasons why Serena Williams is tennis' definitive GOAT

5. 23 Majors. That is all.

Serena Williams – and the woman whose Open Era record she broke, Steffi Graf

You might believe this should have been the first, most definitive point in proving Serena Williams is the GOAT. Perhaps it is. Having equalled Steffi Graf’s 22-Major record last year, Serena Williams dominated the hard courts of Melbourne Park for No. 23. Now, she is only one title away from equalling the all-time record set by tennis icon Margaret Court.

With the form she has been in physically and mentally, it would not be unfounded to believe she can not only match that record, but break it. It’s uncertain by what margin, perhaps, but Serena Williams, who has had immense success at Wimbledon, will aim for at least 25.
