Reportedly, tennis star Serena Williams will retire after the US Open this year. If she wins it, the record currently held by Margaret Court will be equalled and you'll never hear her name again. The media are desperate to see Margaret Court cancelled. But think about this; even if Williams is able to record her win at New York, she will retire having never held all four majors in the one calendar year. Two women have done that in the professional era, Margaret Court in 1970 and Steffi Graf in 1988. To my mind, Williams equalling the record of Court, still places her behind Court who has won that critical calendar year achievement.
