23 G.O.A.T. Serena Williams After Long Pursuit

Serena Williams, arguably the greatest tennis player (male or female) of all time, has won her 23rd Grand Slam title.

By defeating her sister Venus in the Australian Open final by a score of 6-4, 6-4. With winning #23, Williams breaks the Open Era record she had held along with Steffi Graf.

After her win she received a pair of Jordan's from Michael Jordan himself as a gift from on G.O.A.T to another.

This makes Williams' seventh Australian Open title, and her second in the past three. She also has seven Wimbledon titles, six U.S. Open titles and three French Open titles. You can check out the stats below.

Only Margaret Court has more titles. She won 24 majors in total, 13 of which before the Open Era began in 1968.

After Williams secured her 23rd triumph, the greatest No. 23 to ever live delivered a special gift to Williams.
