In reply to the discussion: Serena will be playing in her 25th Grand Slam final on Saturday [View all]TBF
(32,060 posts)41. It takes a lot to go up against Steffi Graf's records -
and Serena has done it at a time in which there is a lot more power & competition out there. It will be beyond amazing if she pulls off the golden slam next year in her 30s - and honestly given the competition she has played against (as opposed to Graf - through no fault of her own - really not having as much) she probably deserves the title of "best female player ever" right now.
I'm always happy to see a relative newbie get through as well so either way it's a great match today
