***If Serena pulls off a (admittedly unlikely) run of beating Gauff, Kvitová, and Świątek (plus four more, obviously) on her way to Grand Slam #24, after a full year away from tour, at age 40, she’s officially the greatest athlete of all-time. I couldn’t resist picking it as, based on recent history, we clearly should never doubt these living legends at Grand Slam events.***
