Nike Crowns Serena Williams 'Greatest Athlete Ever' in Stunning New Ad

Serena Williams' long list of accomplishments make it impossible to not include her name in the discussion of greatest athletes ever. The 34-year-old has won a record-tying 22 Grand Slam titles and just surpassed Roger Federer's record of 308 Grand Slam wins. The most impressive part is she isn't done yet.

Nike made a solid statement on their stance with a new clip that outlines the obstacles she's overcome to get back on top and ends by calling her "greatest athlete ever." The moniker is a corrective to anyone who might qualify her achievement by calling her the greatest female athlete ever.

On screen, a series of words flash. Nike provided this guide to understand the meaning behind each of them.

• Compton—Serena Williams swung her first racket at the age of 3 in Compton, Calif., soon after her family moved from Michigan.
• Sister, Outsider—Along with her sister, Williams proved that precocious talent always trumps preconceptions.
• Pro—Williams turned pro in 1995, when she was 14.
• #304—Two years later, with a ranking of 304, she beat two top 10 opponents and became the lowest-ranked player in history to achieve this feat.
• Winner—In 1999, she claimed her first slam and rose to No. 4.
• Top 10—The following two years, for the first time, she ranked in top 10.
• Paris, London, New York—In 2002, Williams took Paris, London and New York—plus the No. 1 ranking.
• Melbourne—A 2003 victory in Melbourne solidified her first "Serena Slam."
• Injured—Injury briefly derailed William's game but never her drive. She dropped to No. 139 in 2006, struggled with confidence and critics labeled her obsolete.
• Struggling—Williams responded by winning Melbourne in 2007, as an unseeded player, completing the year among the sport's top 10.
• No. 169—After another bout of injury, she declined to 169, but quickly battled back and resumed her ascent.
• Done, comeback, focused—In 2013, she became the oldest player ever to earn the rank of No. 1.
• No. 1—Williams held the top spot through 2014—the second woman to retain it for a full year—and took her sixth title in New York.
• Legend—Today, she is revered as the greatest and her influence transcends the game of tennis.
