Now Graf's mark seems reachable.
"I never thought I would even come close to breaking those records but if I can play consistently and play some more matches at Wimbledon, then it will be awesome," she said. "If I could win two a year it would be great. We'll see.
"I will think about my legacy when I'm done. I have so much more I want to create for the history."
There was a time not so long ago when Williams wondered if she might ever play again, much less recapture her championship form.
Williams battled back from a right foot injury that kept her from playing in the 2010 US Open and battled blood clots last year that jeopardized more than her career.
She fought back into form earlier this year but crashed out of the French Open with a first-round loss to Virginie Razzano, her worst-ever Grand Slam performance and her only 2017 loss in 50 matches where she won the first set.
"A champion is defined not by their wins, but by how they can recover when they fall. I've fallen several times. Each time I just get up and I dust myself off and I pray and I'm able to get back to the level that I want to be on.
