Serena Williams doesn?t believe she is the best ever women tennis player ? Tennis News
Former world number one, Serena Williams, proclaimed that the tag of being the best tennis player in the history of women tennis doesn?t suit her. Her fellow former world number one, Kim Clijsters, stated her as the best ever women to have picked up the tennis racquet. Williams honoured the title from the Belgian but stated that she is not worthy of it.
Williams will be the third player to win Wimbledon Championships, Olympics gold medal and the US Open in one year, if she manages to sustain her emphatic run of form and claim the title at New York. She will join the list of two greats of women tennis, one of them being her elder sister, Venus Williams and the only other woman with a Career Gold Slam, Steffi Graf.
However, it will not be an easy task at all considering the form of the Czech starlet, Petra Kvitova, who won two titles from the last three tournaments she played. Defending champion, Samantha Stosur, will also be eyeing to repeat history and prove to the world that the US Open triumph last year was no way a fluke.
Clijsters who will retire at the end of the US Open stated about Williams, ?To me, Serena is the best ever just because I think physically she just stands out. When she's in good shape, I think she just stands out tremendously. I mean, she's fast, she's strong and she has a very good eye as well.?
Williams in response to this honour commented, ?I can't sit here and say I'm the best ever. I'm not. I'm not worthy of that title. You've got to embrace it whether you're the favourite or the one to beat or whether you are not.?
However if she is not the best ever tennis player, she is definitely the very best of her generation and no one has seen such domination at the platform as Williams. She has won 34 of her last 36 matches; clearly shows her potential and ability to single handily dominates a complete grass court season. The US Open will definitely separate the two claims of legendary tennis icons.
