Billie Jean King, a former world number one tennis player, says she could talk about Serena Williams all day.

“You want to talk about Serena? It could take all day,” she told Tennis Channel in a video posted on Twitter. “I think we’ve been very blessed to have Serena Williams in our sport,” she said.

Right now Williams is the G.O.A.T — or “greatest of all time” — but King added, every generation continues to build and get better.

“Serena has transcended our sport — gone way beyond the boundaries of just being an athlete, because of her stature, using tennis as a platform,” King said in the video.

“Serena, you have the best serve ever in tennis and the guys agree with me,” she said.
