Corrections:
At best she could be considered one of the best women players, not the best overall "player", meaning both sexes.
While Serena has more GS than Graf (by one), it is Graf that has many other coveted records and better overall career stats. As far as making the comedic leap that Serena is the best player, not the best "woman" player:
See stats again. If you are basing it on # of Grand Slams, Novak Djokovic has 24, Serena has 23. How convenient it is to believe Serena should be compared with the men without matching Novak's number of GSs or ever once having to play a man to prove it.

Question: The number of Grand slam titles is widely regarded as the gauge to which the GOAT is measured. Should the length of how long this record is held also be considered? Pete Sampras- 2002-2009, 7 yrs Roger Federer- 2009- 2022, 13 years Rafael Nadal- 2022-2023, 1 yr Novak Djokovic- 2023-?

It's a bit absurd calling it a battle of the sexes when the #1 woman is playing a mostly retired for years male ranked #668 who also has to play to a smaller, slower court and only have one service... To even things out... So then wtf is the point?
