Chris Evert said yesterday that Serena Williams will eclipse the grand slam record of 24 singles titles, maybe even this season.
The former No 1 tennis player also says the name of current record-holder Margaret Court should remain on the arena at the Australian Open despite her controversial views on LGBT rights.
