Williams in her prime wouldn't stand a chance against any male player on the tour, so I'm not sure you can include her.

Brazilian Ronaldo is nowhere near the conversation of GOAT.

Talent, sure. But those injury’s put him in the Ronaldinho and Kaka bracket.

I get that but it doesn't make her better than Male Tennis players.

Football - Pele
Tennis - Rod Laver
Cricket - Don Bradman (averaged 99.9 in tests)
Athletics - Jessie Owens

Unlike a lot on here, I don`t think Sport was invented in the 21st century.

The thread is about the Greatest. She is the Greatest and her 23 slams, show that clearly.

Has to be up there mate. Problem with the modern generation, they don`t think Sport was ever around before they were born. You have to look at any great sportsman over the 150 years or so of competitive sport. No matter it may be a bit faster these days, the sportsmen of 100 years ago were every bit as good as today`s heroes.

no one says they're not. Not everyone got to see these guys to judge Sandy. You have to respect that.

In her prime, would she beat any of the males on the tour at that time?
