LeBron James, widely considered the best basketball player in the world, posted a series of messages on Twitter in support of Serena Williams. “Serena Williams is one of the greatest athletes of all time,” he wrote.

“What she’s done for women’s sports and women’s empowerment is second to none. Serena you are my sister and I love you!”

Simone Biles, the Olympic gymnastics champion, also took to Twitter to express her support for Serena Williams. “Serena is a force and has always been,” she wrote. “I’m so proud of her and everything she has accomplished. She’s the GOAT.”

Sloane Stephens, who defeated Williams in the 2017 US Open final, also had kind words for her fellow American. “I’m so proud of you Serena,” Stephens tweeted. “You’re the best no matter what.”

The term “GOAT” is often used to describe the greatest of all time, and it is clear that Serena Williams has earned that title. She has won 23 Grand Slam singles titles, more than any other player in the history of tennis.

Despite her impressive record, Serena Williams has faced a number of challenges in recent years. She gave birth to her first child in 2017 and then suffered a series of health complications.

In 2018, she made it to the finals of the US Open but lost to Japan’s Naomi Osaka. That match was marred by controversy, as Serena Williams was given a warning for coaching, a penalty point for breaking her racket, and then a game penalty for calling the umpire a “thief.”

Despite the challenges she has faced, Serena Williams remains one of the most inspiring athletes in the world. She is a true champion and an icon for women’s empowerment.
