Final slam counts for: Halep, Kerber, Serena

Semi-Pro
All three players have experienced periods of dominance, in recent years. I'm curious about what there final GS count will be for each of them. Whether Serena can surpass Margaret courts record of 24 GS, if Halep can ever win another slam and if Kerber will win more in 2019 and beyond.
Final slam count predictions:
Halep - 3 (She may defend the French open and possibly win either AO or US open
Kerber - 5 (Her game appears quite adaptable so she should be able to secure at least 2 more slams)
Serena - 25 (I feel like she will win one slam this year, one next year and retire at the end of 2020, having surpassed the record.)

Thoughts?

Gotta take away one of serena's french opens. She failed a drug test after winning the final.

If Serena wins a major at this stage of her career it will only mean that the WTA tour is 100x as much crap as I initially thought. She's so slow that Karlovic can run circles around her.
 
Do you know how many slams the MEN win?

Halep already has a Major. And Kerber 3.

So your option is logically impossible.
That's got me thinking, actually. Conceivably, it is possible. But has anyone in tennis history ever been stripped of a major title?

It's happened in a lot of other sports. The Olympics, cycling, boxing, etc. And the NCAA has vacated more wins than I can keep track of in the past decade.

Announcers were quoting Serena saying her goal was to win 30 slams, in her match today against Boulters.

Korda won the AO in 98 and at Wimbledon tested positive. He wasn't stripped of anything.

Sure, why not? Never underestimate how weak the WTA field will be. Would anyone be shocked if she was still winning majors at 40?

Back from pregnancy with basically no practice, she looked like she was wearing ankle weights based on how slow she was. Yet she marched right into the finals of 2 majors. She's beating 90% of her competition just by standing still and firing away. No reason she can't keep doing that for years to come.

I want what she's mainlining. She probably thinks she's got a good chance at a Grand Slam. Believes her own publicity.

I've got a feeling almost acing Federer will be her best tennis accomplishment this year.

Halep: 4 (I feel like she will get a AO and a USO and another RG)
Kerber: 7 (I think she gets another one at each slam she's already won but 2 more at the AO)
Serena: 24 (She gets one more USO and retires right then and there)

Because it is so easy to mock such a mean spirited person when the media makes her out to be an angel.
