Happy 4th! Celebrate with the GOAT, Serena Williams! 🎾

[@foreignwindow]

THE GOAT? Perhaps. Consider this from Wikipedia: Widely considered among the greatest tennis players of all time, Martina Navratilova won 18 major singles titles, 31 major women's doubles titles, and 10 major mixed doubles titles, for a combined total of 59 major titles, the most in the Open Era.

I recall an interview during the Olympics one year where a male tennis player won the gold medal, and the interviewer asked, "How does it feel to be the first American to win the gold medal in tennis?" to which he replied, "I'm not the first by any means, haven't Serena and Venus won like four each?"

[@fredelmo]

I think it was Andy Murray who was asked about an American tennisplayer reaching some (semi) final for the first time in ages (can't remember what exactly) and he replied with 'the first MALE player'. He was genuinly annoyed that the women apparently got completely forgotten. It was a pretty cool and classy response!

[@MickeyDs14]

If you watch "King Richard," their dad actually tried to leave them at a store and drive off because the kids were all bragging too much about Venus winning so many matches. He ended up not driving too far because their mom made him stay, but afterwards he took them home and had them watch Cinderella. The point was for them to see that she stayed humble even when she was mistreated. Their dad did a lot in terms of building their confidence, while also keeping them humble and down to earth. He wouldn't let them continue playing if they bragged a lot, which I find admirable in a parent!
