I really can't understand why fools think Serena is the great ever, she isn't even the greatest ever female tennis player.

Look at Graf's record compared to Serena and you will Serena fall short compared to Steffi

you forgot doubles, mixed doubles, fed cup and Hopman cup totals. How about you redo the thread with all the tourney wins and re-ask the question.

That's team sports, they don't count for nothing.

This individual performance.

When answering who is the best weigh their whole career, not just the stats that fits your agenda.

Doubles, mixed doubles, fed cup and hopman cup matches all count.

Nope the sports is tennis singles. Doubles is a different game and isn't really taken seriously, just a bit of fun.

Spoken like someone whose knowledge of the sport is limited to google, copy and paste. What a fraud.

Carry on with the anti black, anti American agenda. Is what it is.

Steffi is also the only player, male or female, to win all 4 Grand Slam titles and the Olympic gold in a single year.

It's close and they both have a case but right now I'm leaning towards Graff.

But Serena's career isn't over yet.

Try and deal with the facts.

The facts are not racist

I can't see Serena matching any of Stefi's numbers, even though she has already played for 6 years longer and counting.

Sure if she cleans up next year, you'd have a very strong argument, but it ain't going to happen.

I'd be very surprised if she ever wins another slam.
