Who is the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) in tennis? While this might be a generic and cliched question in every sport, tennis has had a unique situation in the past decade. While some prefer a member of the ‘Big Three’, others choose different names from yesteryear eras. Legends like Patrick McEnroe and Roger Federer have already taken their stand on the debate. Now, it’s Alexis Ohanian’s time to give his opinion. The G.O.A.T among ‘The Big 3’ debate has always been about Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. But recently, Serena Williams‘ name surfaced on Instagram.
Leaving ‘The Big 3’ aside, the husband of a former champion and the fashionista declared her wife as the G.O.A.T through his Instagram account.

Taking to his Instagram story, Alexis Ohanian declared his wife, Serena Williams, as the G.O.A.T. The billionaire entrepreneur was seen spending a good time with friends in restaurants, which he posted on his story. While Serena was not seen in any of the celebrations, the father of Olympia promoted a pen brand that included the family.
Ohanian said in his Instagram story, “My name is Alexis Ohanian, founder of Reddit, husband to the G.O.A.T, and business dad.”
The internet entrepreneur never misses a chance to acknowledge and praise Serena Williams’ career achievements and her contribution to the world of sports. He started praising the legend ever since they met and his retirement note to ‘Momma Smash’ is already one of the iconic moments.
The love Serena Williams receives is unlike anything
Ohanian penned a heartfelt note for Serena before her retirement. He shared it on his Instagram account, which went viral in the initial days of her retirement. The Reddit founder claimed that his wife has no idea about the lives she has changed. He went on to add that ReRe has changed more lives than Reddit ever has.

The billionaire investor asserted that his wife does not think about or even realize the effect she has on people. Career-wise, even Novak Djokovic falls short of her as he made history six years after the G.O.A.T did. ‘Momma Smash’ was the only player in the Open Era to win the highest number of Grand Slam titles, among both men and women. In a historic moment, Williams defeated her younger sister, Venus Williams, to win her last and memorable twenty-third Slam in 2017.
