She has been through it all on court and has had 3 altercations in her life, but haters tend to regard those 3 meltdowns instead of her 23 grand slams, on top of the blatant racism she’s faced. Serena Williams stands on top as the greatest athlete of all time.

Fantastic player, but not the GOAT. She had the opportunity to be the GOAT by playing in the weakest era of all other GOAT candidates (going by ELO ratings), but the fact that she only won 73 titles and was not very committed to the tour outside the Slams for the majority of her career was very costly. She was never able to be as dominant or as consistent week in week out like Steffi and Martina and saw winning Slams as a shortcut to greatness. But there are no shortcuts if you want to be the GOAT. She simply wasn’t good enough. And that’s completely fine. Being in the top 5 all time is a historic achievement, but we mustn’t undervalue the achievements of other women who accomplished more than Serena just because of recency bias and because Serena is American.

That wimbledon crowd is BS!

The scene in France was disappointing. Serena would probably have won the match and even the tournament that year. People seem to push the idea that Serena does not like clay. But she is actually one of the few (men and women) who won Roland Garros 3 times. Till now only 12 have won Roland Garros at least 3 times.

wow! Serena Williams is the greatest athlete of all time and done so much for this sport 👑👑🐐🐐🎾🎾 Team Serena 🎾 ❤️

THE BEST EVER!!! PROUD OF A NATION

Both sisters have taken a lot of garbage over the years and have handled it in a mostly exemplary fashion. As you will note, the younger generation ( Naomi Osaka et. Al) do not have the steely reserve to brush off hate and prejudice as these women did. My admiration for both is immeasurable.

I cannot even imagine the racism she and Venus had to undergo. The ones we know about were terrible, imagine the ones we don’t.

The media only focuses on Serena's few bad moments, but never focus on the bad behavior of the fans and players toward both sisters. I think this is a lesson Coco and Tiafoe need to learn. The same fans that are applauding them will turn on you when you become the dominant player of the sport, and being a person of color is even worse. We are still divided by race in the world, and unfortunately especially in America.

900th like! I LOVE SERENA

The way of that crowd was cheering..and we all know why that was too..makes me sick

the 2003 French Open and 2001 Indian Wells was the worst display of crowd behavior

As a person who has played sports, you have to drown the crowd out (in the mind) when they become the 3rd player (opponent)...when you start to win, you get the crowd out of the game, or they start cheering for you.

serena has behaved well 90% of the time-for almost 25 years. compare that with MacEnroe and other bad boys. Plus they weren't faced with disgusting racial slurs many times- Indian wells and the time the ump had to eject a spectator saying insane things-just 2 mention 2 famous times... Not to mention, the American commentators at the beginning always cheering for her opponents. I got sick of thatcand either watched it on a foreign station or turned volumne off. Serena was remarkable

💥🧡💥

Also, not relevant to the video but Serena was so tight in that Wimbledon match against Heather Watson 😅 You can literally see all her muscles tensing up and she was really trying with all her might but her body just wasn’t obeying her lol. Don’t know how she got through it, especially with that obnoxious crowd. She was playing nowhere near her best.

To see the blatant disrespect and clear racism towards Serena shocks me ! Hats off to her for holding her own !

& y’all wonder why she’s flipped out a few times. Do you have ANY idea how stressful and how much focus you must have for tennis? You’re the only one out there. It’s like boxing. Back and forth. You get excited. But never forget It was in the USA , when Serena was the main focus of WHY they needed hawk eye. So that Prejiduce linesman cannot get away with calling her shots out for the color of her skin.

Honestly , what Serena has been through !!!

Racism is going nowhere..the devil definitely walks amongst us.

From ridiculous calls against her plays, harassment from racist/sexist viewers, critiques within and without the industry, extreme testing of doping (she’s one of the MOST tested in SPORTS) I give this woman nothing but credit and respect for rising above it all. So if she wants to express herself with some intensity and passion, SHE DESERVES IT!!!!

Somebody can explain me what's happened with henin?

she won against the whole stadium. True champion. Justine is a cheater

5:35 You gotta be the greatest to withstand that BS from the crowd. Anybody else would have folded under that extreme pressure. Thank God for KZread, because you only have to go back and watch Serena over the years and see just how brutal the crowd was towards her. The kind of thing if I don't you how bad it was you wouldn't believe it; you had to be there. Well, KZread puts you there, and yes, it was that bad. Men and women included, Roger Federer, Tiger Woods, no one has ever had an entire stadium root against them (individual sports, not team) and triumph against ALL odds. Just look at Naomi Osaka for example. The physical ability is there but mentally, she is lost.

America was so nasty to Venus and Serena. I am not sure why this video is titled Serena Williams Fans, but they show her grace under pressure that most could not handle. I admire Naomi Osaka but there’s no way she could handle what Serena has gone through .

Well this is just my personal opinion there was a lot of racism throughout her career she and her sister's. But she won over a lot of naysayers because she beat the shit out of all the players practically I mean the Queen has 23 grand slams you may not like her but it doesn't matter because she will go down in history as the greatest of all time until a man can match her grandslam total or surpass it she's the greatest tennis player of all time male or female I don't want to hear about the males are stronger dotted out of. no that's not how it works boo boo 23 grand slams deal with it
