The two really aren’t comparable and Margaret Court is still the GOAT and will remain so for years to come, unless someone throws a final GS match for Williams.

Thanks to the Billie Jean King crowd, she has been shunned in the tennis world and in fact, there is a movement to remove her name from a court in Melbourne named after her.

Yes, the lesbian contingent of the women's game is going after Court with a vengeance. It's shameful.
