This whole chaos is caused by extremely high expectations towards Serena, which doesn't change the fact she's the best. She was just so close to do something unreachable for anyone. She failed, but it doesn't matter anyway.

She's seen top girls and #1s come and go, dominates countless slams, didn't directly benefit from ha rival getting stabbed up by one of her stans (I love Steffisus but this is fact sorri) and is probably the biggest icon of the game.

Serena would only need 50% First Serves in and 0 baseline winners and call it a training session.

Your predictions have been a mess Wasn't it originally Roger d. Rafa, Petra d. Serena? Here for Roger losing his semi (well I'd be rooting for Daddy Stan anyway, so).

She's still the GOAT when you think abt it.

not really. 24>22>21 slams, tragically crumbled in the moment to reach 22 and win a CGS. Even if she doesn't promptly retire in shame like she should and reaches 25 slams, this moment will always be a factor in her legacy compared to Graf, especially since she'll obviously never have this chance again. And the fact that she had to play till like, 50 to reach those #s [/seething].

Serena's my fave all time, but being totally honest, the only way I can truthfully call her the GOAT now is with 25 singles slams. I would have comfortably said it if she won this US Open, but now (like with Martina and Chrissie IMO) she loses in the majority of other aspects, so has to win a few more slams than Steffi to really surpass her and shut down the discussion. And Court is still kinda meh, who really cares

[Bro]

Any video link to when Serena said "yes bitch"?

[Alejandrawrrr]

But anyway... [/mariah] Who do ya'll think will win tomorrow? I have a feeling it'll be Pennetta. What's their H2H like?

If Maria ends up winning a CGS next year because it's an even year, I'd be DAMMED.

I'd say Flavia, because she's been getting it on with daddy Fabio like a true tennis star.

Pennetta is leading their H2H, and she won their last one at the 2013 USO.
I'd rather have Flavia winning because she's proven that she can be a consistent top player, Vinci right now is more like a one hit wonder.

Roger can't beat Stan and Nole back to back. Even as a stan I'm not delusional. This gyal I play poker with who doesn't follow USO due to timezone, when I texted ha that Rena was out by Vinci:

"Hew?"

Flavs just feels more experienced at higher levels for me. Punch ha owt.

These are pretty terrible opinions. Nobody considers Court the GOAT because she earned many of her AOs at a time when top players didn't even bother with it. CYGS is a great achievement, but Serena has already held all four slams twice. There's a reason she was being considered the GOAT even when she was still at 17.

Steffi's record is cute but I will never forget her top rival being stabbed. For me the GOAT debate is and has always been between Serena and Martina.

This is Serena's first semifinal loss at a Grand Slam since USO 2009 when she lost to Kim Clijsters, at least back then she lost to relevants and if it's any indication for Vinci, she'll win this

Her slam semifinal losses are ALWAYS a mess

2003 - The Hand
2009 - The Foot Fault
2015 - The Choke

I agree. Even if I consider Steffi the GOAT, I never watch her matches because they're so boring.

And here you were CACKLING at me when Petra lost.

Anyways, I felt this one too. After Petra, it was NID that I'll support for Serena. It was either my baby girl or history.

Only because she was a threat. Who knew Vinci was the biggest threat of all?

Now I wish Petra was still there.

Serena will pass Graf. Just no way she doesn't. That is more important, IMO.

[RIHMASTER]

well at least it wasnt errani

But it's like saying Nole COULD surpass Rafa without a single RG to his name. And I hope that doesn't happen too.

Hard to guarantee anything. But after she was stuck at 17 I never thought she'd reach 18. But then again she's a year older. Still, I think she gets to 23.
