Sharing on ATP Tennis , former American female tennis player Jill Craybas commented: “I think Serena can top the list of all-time great tennis players because she has 39 Grand Slams. When you talk about children numbers, why not add doubles results as well.
For male players like Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, they play very little doubles. Of course, they can win another Grand Slam in doubles. If we talk about titles, Serena and Court are the best.”
The former American tennis player who won six tournaments in the WTA system (International Women’s Tennis Association) added: “In terms of competition quality and popularity, Serena Williams is one of the people who has surpasses the influence of tennis.
People who don’t watch tennis also know Serena. She’s smart, knowledgeable and successful off the court.”
Serena Williams has won 23 Grand Slam women’s singles, one title less than the record of legendary female tennis player Margaret Court. The American tennis player also has 14 Grand Slam women’s doubles and two mixed doubles titles. Serena also won 4 Olympic gold medals and held the world number 1 position for 319 weeks.
Novak Djokovic owns 24 Grand Slam men’s singles and holds a record of 404 weeks at number 1 in the world. The Serbian tennis player has a total of 98 men’s singles championships of the International Men’s Tennis Association (ATP), an achievement ranked only behind Jimmy Connors (109) and Roger Federer (103).
Nole is looking towards 2024 with the ambition to win the Golden Slam (winning 4 Grand Slams and winning the Olympic men’s singles gold medal in a calendar year).
Djokovic was very close to this title in 2021 when he won the Australian Open, Roland Garros, and Wimbledon, but the Serbian tennis player lost in the US Open final and Tokyo Olympic semi-finals.
