I'm not sure Serena isn't or wasn't a man at one time. 

This is something you think about when you are alone?

Well if there's a silver lining at least the Bills loss last week made travel plans for the weekend easier for the Pegulas.

But wouldn't they want to be around to watch the Sabres play? Nevermind......

Funny how much she has in common with Brady.  Of course, while they are both insufferable during the game, he is at least gracious in defeat afterward.

 

And while they are both quite obviously the most successful of all time in their field, I wouldn't call either the 'greatest'.

 

 

 

 

How is she not the GOAT?

A win puts her near the top 50 which is huge for tournament seeding and early round match ups etc... it will also potentially give her a nice 1st round draw for the Aussie Open. If she can make some noise there say 3rd or 4th round. It could be a crazy year for her!

Other than recency bias, on basis is she?

 

Billie Jean King was historically more important to women's tennis.  And now that you've made me google tennis records, I see that King won the same # of Grand Slam titles as Williams.  Navratilova and Court both won many more.  Even using the myopic view of only counting singles GS titles Williams is still 2d in that category.  And she's only 8th in all time tournament wins, so not sure how all of that adds up to 'greatest'.  In fact, I need to retract my prior comment about being the 'most accomplished' female tennis player as she clearly is not.

I really like the Pegulas not just because they kept the team in Buffalo, but the sincere interest in revitalizing Buffalo for both teams.  

 

They've definitely done a lot for Buffalo. The greedy side of me wishes they donated to UB too though if that money could've gone to keeping Nate Oats. :P

She finally took the title from Jerry Jones and Mark Davis. 


You have to love those outfits of Mark Davis, not.  For someone pretty rich, you’d think he could take a stroll to Nordstroms.
