Gigi Fernandez on Serena v Graf/Navratilova.

[big ted]

i dont think theres too much of a question that serena is the better player, but when people talk about GOAT some have that to include greatest career of all time
which can complicate things..

Graf's consistency and domination over the entire field for like 10 years straight will never be matched. Steffi also dominated ALL three surfaces along with indoor carpet (6 slams on clay, 7 on grass, 9 on hard and 5 WTFs on carpet). She also won the golden calendar slam which is honestly the greatest achievement any tennis player can have. To give everyone an idea on how impressive winning the calendar slam is, the calendar slam is pretty much the only reason why some ppl still consider Laver to be superior to players like Fedal.

I think Serena's the "best" women's player ever as she'd beat anyone peak for peak, but Graf is still the "greatest" women's player of all time as she's had the most successful career statistically.

I totally agree. This woman knocked Martina off the #1 spot and basically Evert out of tennis.

Have you played with a Maxply Fort or Chris Evert Autograph?
I played a charity event with the former and it's a massive difference.
The big servers suffered the most. Touch players, the least.

I recently played a tournament with a wooden racket. It sucked. Maybe my memory of the graphite rackets feel is wrong, but the dunlop graphite and Chang Prince played decent as far as I recall.

It's hard work. Therefore I don't think it's a given that most modern players would fare as well with a wooden racquet against those that excelled with them.

Serena mauls Graf. There was a tactic that worked vs Steffi that will be revealed soon...
