Her win at the 2005 Wimbledon will always be my favorite. You can tell how much that one really meant to her. She definitely earned that title after playing one of the best tournaments and finals ever.

I wouldn't say CutterHistorical is exaggerating. If you count Grand Slam finals alone, Venus has been in 16 to date (which is nuts in and of itself). She's won 7 and lost 9. Of those 9 finals lost, SEVEN were at the hands of Serena - the greatest player to ever live (fight me on that if you want). She lost her first appearance to Martina Hingis ('97 US Open) and her last appearance to Garbiñe Muguruza ('17 Wimbledon) which is rather poetic. If you gave her the same conversion percentage of ~71% against ANY other player for the 7 finals in which she did NOT face Serena and applied it to the 7 finals in which she lost to Serena, you could project 5 more wins. I see her having won 13 slams, if Serena hadn't been dominant for so long. The logic is taken with a grain of salt, however. You could apply a "Serena Factor" to a few top players from the past 15 years. I just think it's silly to think Venus wouldn't have won more than 3 additional slams, when 5 of those losses (finals from '02-'03) were when she was clearly the next-most dominant player on tour. All I'm saying is it's feasible.

The original point I was arguing for was "if only Serena wasn't so dominant, she would have 12-15 Grand Slams." In that context, my arguments are valid. I'm literally discussing what the possibilities could be, and more so would be, had Serena not been dominant. I agree, however. It isn't reality, and it isn't what happened. Facts are facts, and Venus "only" won 7 GS. The original point was hypothetical; therefore, my analysis was hypothetical. I even countered my argument by mentioning a "Serena factor." You've listed alternate analogies, so clearly you understand the point and the argument. You're taking my arguments out of context.

Quote from an article Venus hadn't simply had an excellent tennis season in 2000. She had forced the game to take an evolutionary leap. From that point on, you had to be longer, stronger and faster than ever before to win a major title. Graf wasn't enough of any of those things, not anymore. Seeing the future hurtling at her, she had retired the previous year at age 30. Former World No. 1 Martina Hingis, who had defeated Venus in the U.S. Open semifinals the previous year, was an astonishingly clever player, but that didn't matter anymore. Venus was clever too -- more so than she would ever be given credit for -- and she was also so much more than that. Hingis' days of winning major singles championships were over. She was 19, born the same year as Venus. Venus won everything in sight the next season as well. As a result, the WTA tour would change dramatically over the next couple of years. Never again would a male player dare to describe the women's tour as a bunch of "lazy, fat pigs," as 1996 Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek had done.

Apparently yet another nationalistic article by the infamously corrupt US media. In 2001 Venus 1) won only 6 of 12 tournaments played 2) lost 16 16 against Hingis at the AO 3) lost 46 46 against #25 Barbara Schett in the 1st round of the FO 4) ended the year as #3 in the WTA rankings. And to compare Venus, a player with a 75.2 % career match winning record to Golden Slammer Steffi with a 89.3 % record is a travesty. US arrogance in spades. Simply disgusting.

I remember there was a feeling of “oh. fuck.” When Venus won Wimbledon and the US Open in 2000. You can feel the other players were intimidated to play against all that power! Let’s not forget that had it not been Venus on the other side of the net that year, it would’ve been a PHENOMENAL season for Lindsay with winning three of the four slams and defending her Wimbledon title from 1999. Venus and Lindsay, a still-unpolished Serena, and Capriati the following year lay the groundwork for the five to seven year reign of “Big Babe” tennis.
