In the amazing world of sports, the name Serena Williams undoubtedly pops up whenever any conversation struck at the topic of naming GOAT is brought up.
With a colossal total of 23 Grand Slam titles attached to her belt, Williams is acclaimed as a highly decorated tennis professional and is one of the world’s most renowned athletes who paved her way into the tour despite facing numerous racial issues owing to her African-American ethnicity.
Despite retiring from the sport in 2022 after blessing the spectators with a few final performances at the US Open 2022, Serena is often engaged in multiple interviews, and in one such video, she was asked about her GOAT choices and astonishingly, named one of her rumored boyfriends topping the list.
In a video posted by Times Magazine, the American tennis star was asked about her list of GOATs and her response surprised her fans.
Not before taking a long pause to give her reply, Williams mentioned her rumored boyfriend and F1 driver Lewis Hamilton as her first pick, which was subsequently followed by LeBron James and Tiger Woods.
