Serena Williams dominated her sport. Everyone else vies for second. She is one of the greatest athletes of all time, not just tennis.

Truly great woman tennis player, her sister was no slouch either. However, as good as they were during their careers, they have no business being subjected to playing against men in women's sports.
Neither Serena nor Venus Williams have ever beaten a top-ranked male tennis player in a competitive match; in fact, they lost to the 203rd ranked male player, Karsten Braasch, in 1998 after claiming they could beat any man ranked below 200.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • The "Battle of the Sexes" Match: In 1998, during the Australian Open, Serena and Venus Williams, then 16 and 17, made a statement that they could beat any male player ranked below 200.
  • Braasch's Challenge: A German player, Karsten Braasch, who was ranked 203rd, stepped up to the challenge.
  • The Outcome: Braasch, after playing a round of golf and drinking a couple of beers, defeated both Venus (6-2) and Serena (6-1) in exhibition matches.
  • Braasch stated that he played like a 600th ranked player to keep it fun.
Biological men need to be banned from womens, girls sports.

WTF does that have to do with the thread? The real TDS seems to be Trans Derangement Syndrome.

Just taking the opportunity to remind some on here that women's sports is for women. Many seem not to understand that or to understand trans women are not women.

Well... no.

Serena's stats were not as good as Steffi's except to for one more Grand Slam, for one.
And Steffi did it in 7 fewer years and quit when she was stil on top of the game.

She never had to play against any trans players. I wonder how that would have turned out if she did.

I've been looking over the stats of both. They both have fantastic records, but I do not understand what the mean in tennis. When it comes to career record singles, Steffi Graf won 88.7% vs. Serena William's 84.6%.

Regarding Tennis and the William's sisters, if you like them, or tennis, watch Kink Richard.

So why isn't Rene Richards at the top?
 
Everything has to be about politics? There really is more to life than that.
I am just saying if she had to play against a trans male she would have gotten her ass kicked.

Of course. :rolleyes: It's not like there aren't a bunch of threads about trans people here, you have to bring your obsession to the Sports forum.

It was stated in an earlier post that Williams dominated her sport. It needs to be pointed out that she only dominated playing against other women. I would have liked to have seen her play against trans men like today's women have to. There is no way she would have been dominate if she had to play against men as well as women.
 
Because she started playing at the age of 43?
 
Serena's stats were not as good as Steffi'
Head to head, it was a tie, each winning one against the other, in 1999. This was at the end of Graff's pro playing and the beginning of Serena's dominance.

I have no doubt that peak Serena would have consistently beaten peak Steffi, Serena's power game and athleticism was overwhelming even for her contemporary "control" opponents.

Really?

Richards attended Horace Mann School and excelled as a wide receiver for the football team, a pitcher for the baseball team, and on the tennis and swim teams.[4][7] Her baseball skills even led to an invitation to join the New York Yankees, but she decided to focus on tennis.[4] After high school Richards attended Yale University and was captain of the men's tennis team,[4][7] and was considered by some to be one of the best college tennis players in the country.

Not even worth a reply.
