Is Serena Williams the greatest female athlete ever?

There is no doubt that Williams is the best female tennis player of all time. Moreover, it could even be argued that she is the greatest female athlete ever. She made her mark as a woman of color in a predominantly white sport, winning her first singles Grand Slam at the 1999 U.S. Open against Martina Hingis, who was the top-ranked female player at the time.

Williams won a gold medal for her individual play at the 2012 Summer Olympics and also took home three gold medals for doubles tennis at 2000, 2008, and 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Moreover, she also has the most number of grand titles in women’s tennis with 23. However, the reason many feel like she is the greatest is that she transcended the sport and paved a way for future generations.
