Rude fans distracting

Him On his approach to 17 did him in. He doesn't make that mistake if he didn't have to reset

 

these guys should practice with random crowd noise like NFL teams do with massive crowd noise so they are mentally capable of getting through the situation with out resetting or having it throw off their game.

I went with Spieth. Serena is the most dominant athlete in any sport (men's or women's) ever in my opinion. It wouldn't shock me at all if she did it, because she's so much better, even at her age. It would still be an incredible feat either way though.

 

Whereas everyone else in tennis is a lesser opponent for Serena, there are a lot of golfers who you could argue are Spieth's equals. For him to win four majors against his equals, it would be unbelievable because he would need to be nearly flawless those four weekends.

 

I think Navratilova, Graf, King, Evert and Margaret Court would disagree re: Serena being the most dominant.

 

I do believe, as Pooj stated, that Serena's longevity and doing what she's doing at this point in her career, are very impressive. I also have zero doubt (nothing to back it up; just my opinion- no, I don't have a link, so don't ask) that she's been on steroids for her entire career.

 

I think a golf calendar grand slam would be the bigger feat, regardless.

King and Evert both agree with me.

Navratilova thinks Serena can be.
