Ajla Tomljanović vs America

[PaulP]

See Paul?

Its not solely about seeing someone new as greater.

I think Mav is making the same point as I am, albeit with more strident language. I've got no doubt that he would readily admit that Court is the GOAT if he thought that, because he is separating one part of her life from another. I understand from your perspective you see cause and effect (i.e Mav hates Court's opinions, therefore he is determined to knock her off the No1 spot), but I don't think that's quite right.

As I mentioned elsewhere, if you google Williams v Court or something similar, most of the scribes and experts (in fact all the ones I found without exception) give the nod to Serena. Obviously you can say that they are all woke, and they have to be because of their public standing, but IMO at some point you may have to accept that some folks believe Serena is No1 because that's just what they believe, and not because they have it in for Court.
