Federer was only 19 when he seized his 2001 fourth-round Wimbledon upset against seven-time champ Pete Sampras to signal the beginning of the passing of the torch between the two men. And then again these all names faded within limited time. He's the best, most efficient player in terms of not allowing the pressure of the perceived consequence to impact his ability to achieve his goal. Her Grand Slam titles have come over an 18-year period starting in 1999, with her latest victory coming at the 2017 Australian Open.

Second her win percentage viz a viz her pre stabbing tenure give enough reason to consider her GREATEST of all.I liked Lindsay davenport. Does she belong in the top 10 women's tennis players all-time?Maria Bueno had a great career that included winning 7 Grand Slam singles titles, 3 Wimbledon and 4 US Open . After going through the provided list, Q&A, voting polls and then the public opinion in shape of comments I just concluded the followingSerena Williams is widely considered greatest due to her Power mainly and with having no strong compitition around and a large playing tenure.Steffi Graff is Soundly considered Great with Numerous wins and crystal clear Stats.Martina Hingis is quite Favorite too for title with achieving sound success all at a very Young age and in face of Serena and other William.Monica Seles had met misfortune before she got to top still she managed to be given status of Greatest by someBut to say so looking at number of wins and being an onlooker I will vote for two names here which are real GREAT for me.Graff always No. At 28 years of age she still has time to leave her mark on the game. See Williams' 10 best women's tennis players of all time. Did we get it right? Martina set a whole new level for physical fitness and power. But Steffi and Hingis had court sense like none other.... My God still remember how Hingis being not fit so well used to rally those balls everywhere... KudosSteffi Graf Is The Greatest Of All Time! Not only did King dispose of Mr. Riggs in short order but she also dominated women’s tennis from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s.Her hard-charging aggressive style of play was in sharp contrast to the stately ground game of Chris Evert who came along in 1972 to challenge King as the queen of women’s tennis. He was Mr.

Evert still holds the record for reaching the most Grand Slam singles finals with 34, and she managed to win 18 of them including every major at least twice. Olympic, Grand slams singles, Grand slams doubles, time spent at the #1 position etc. Put them in another era they will rise to a new occasion. They all won many a times when partnered with Hingis...To me as far i understand tennis i find Steffi Graf as the No 1 tennis player who played with style ,technique, moreover she played single handed without any kind of screaming. She could rule the current era with no hesitation.Nobody had the aura as Steffi had when playing. Comments are not for promoting your articles or other sites.Asad, Maria Sharapova was a better singles player than Martina Hingis because Maria Sharapova won every Grand Slam singles title at least once. Where as Serena having a Long span, power, built, fitness gadgets, advanced rackets should not be compared with all other greats. So much so, that she got stabbed by a frustrated mentally ill Steffi's fan in Germany.Afterfards she became American citizen, was still good won one more grand slam, but not the outlandish phenom she was earlier in her career. Djokovic's victory over Federer in the 2014 Wimbledon final made him -- not Rafael Nadal -- the first man to defeat Federer at all four Grand Slams.

No one took the ball earlier and created more acute angles.

Or is it the Game? Hits the ball very clean, taking time away from the opponent. Monica Seles was a better player than Steffi Graf. Very tough to play against, a top competitor. Serena's win % is far lower than many before her. Graf retired just after 30 years old while Serena at 38 still plays. All this over a very long time span . The newspapers called Evert "Chris America," and King proclaimed "She's the one!" Factor in her 13 Grand Slam Doubles titles, 7 Mixed Doubles titles, and her 2 Tour Finals titles and it’s hard to exclude the Swiss star. Evert was the year-ending number one player in the world for seven years and had a career winning percentage in singles matches of over 90 percent.There are many experts out there who feel that Margaret Court is the best player of all time. While many will continue to debate Steffi versus Serena as the greatest female player of all-time they were both incredible players who dominated their era and advanced women's tennis. It's not easy to identify the career zenith of a player who won a record 24 Grand Slam singles championships and another 40 in doubles. Perhaps, Lendl or Borg, but even then, they physical fitness would not have allowed them.Very young Monica Seles was much better than prime Steffi Graf. N glad to know people still talk sense. As a teenager, Evert proved her upset of 24-time Slam winner Margaret Court in 1970 was no fluke when she tore to the 1971 US Open finals opposite Billie Jean King at age 16 to become an overnight sensation. Connors surged to the top of the tennis world in 1974, when he won the first three Grand Slam events of his career at the Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open. Reporting by Greg Garber, Thomas Neumann and Johnette HowardRoger was probably the most complete player we have seen in my years.
