2. She is indeed the GOAT, but not really on her own terms.

She got knocked out early at Wimbledon and is currently ranked at like 1000 or so.

4. Whatever n/t

[Ptah]

5. really on her own terms:

In the manner or timeframe that one prefers.

[Voltaire2]

14. Ok but I think she would have preferred that 25th major.

The best she can do is tie at 24, and that is very unlikely.

6. How many players at age nearly 41 are competitive, let alone winning?

Her ranking is low because she’s been injured for a very long time. That’s the way tennis rankings work. And she won yesterday.

Unless you are arguing that retiring due to age is not on one’s own terms, have to disagree.

15. Retiring due to age and injuries is the opposite

of ‘on one’s own terms’.

[spooky3]

16. Well, that helps to clarify. Thanks. But that also suggests that about the only

retirements on their own terms were Ash Barty and Bjorn Borg.

18. LOL

7. Damn, she was incredible....

Absolute GOAT!

[malaise]

8. Indeed - that is pellucidly clear

[spanone]

9. It has reached that bar of pellucidity!!!!

[malaise]

10. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[Voltaire2]

17. Thanks for clearly clarifying that.

[Sogo]

12. I really enjoyed this article and the video at the end.

Never knew all that much about her, except that she was/is an exceptional tennis player.

She looks so sweet when she smiles and fierce when she's not smiling (which is what competitors probably saw with much trepidation!)....

Thanks for posting!

[bahboo]

13. The undisputed GOAT....

changed the game...unbeatable when she was on.
