Navratilova believes Serena Williams will "probably not" surpass Court's Grand Slam tally

Retired American tennis pro Martina Navratilova is of the opinion that Serena Williams will not surpass the 24 Grand Slam titles held by Margaret Court, with Williams being just one title shy of the record.

In an interview with Tennis.com, Navratilova stated that Williams best shot at winning another Grand Slam would be at the US Open.

“More than 24 majors? Probably not, 24 is very possible. I thought she had a great shot at it at Wimbledon, didn’t happen,” said Navratilova.

“If she’s healthy, then US Open is her best shot at it other than Wimbledon. It’s about a 50/50 proposition at this point.”

The US Open is slated to run from August 30-September 12, 2021.
