Graf in prime I believe is greatest female player of all time. Like a human wall and rarely makes mistakes. Don’t think anyone before or since could challenge her. Seles is up there too.

I tried to hold on to that belief until 3-5 years ago. Serena has the longevity and Graf surely would have a few less majors if Seles hadn't been stabbed.

Graf was a freak athlete, though. I heard stories about how she would beat Olympians in sprints.

Nothing like hearing Seles scream every time she hit the ball. She pretty much started that bullshite, didn’t she?

I don’t. Serena is #1. I love Graf, but she wasn’t even as good as Seles. Seles dominated her in the Slams Finals before she got stabbed.

Hingis was a classic sixhead.

Seles scream is a whimper compared to Sharapova and Azarinka. Barely noticeable

I’m going to disagree with you. Graf was 6 and 4 head to head in finals. Yes the tragic stabbing incident effected her play and it’s a shame for her. I think Serena has a hard time with consistent ground strokers. She also intimidates her opponents and I don’t think Graf would have been intimidated.

The woman in your thread title owned prime Graf. Owned her

That’s why a Graf fan stabbed her. Without that, Seles is looked at as the best from that generation

Sealed was on her way to being a Top 3 player of all-time.

Getting stabbed on court in a live tennis match will frick you up for life.

Imagine stepping on a tennis court after that looking over your shoulder like you're Laurie Strode.
