Serena Williams will go down as a true legend of the sport of tennis and a fellow legend of the sport, Martina Navratilova revealed just what impressed her the most.

It's a long list of things about the career of Serena Williams that are impressive but Martina Navratilova has one particular thing in mind that amazes her about the greatness of the American. Speaking about Serena and her achievements recently, she said:

“What’s most impressive for me is how she [has] won so many Majors after she turned 30. Because, it gets harder when you get older. At the same time she was a relatively young 30 in that she didn’t play that many matches.”

Serena has won 10 of her 23 majors since turning 30 which is something truly unique in the world of tennis. Navratilova also expressed how players focus on the Majors a lot more than before noting that it's not a coincidence that we have 4 active players with at least 20 Majors. She explained:

“It’s no coincidence that right now we have the four people that have won the most titles, other than Steffi Graf (in the Open Era). Novak Djokovic, Rafa [Nadal], Roger [Federer] and Serena, because that’s all tennis has become, is about the Majors. Other tournaments basically are paid practice.”

An interesting thought. What do you think about it. Tell us below.
