Steffi Graf is GOAT hands down !!! only player in the last 50 years to have won a calendar grand slam (male or female) only player in history to have won the golden grand slam (male or female) only player in history to have won all 4 grand slams at least 4 times each (male or female) WTA record 377 weeks at number 1.....WTA record 8 times the year-end number 1 22 grand slam titles and 107 career titles and retired having just turned 30....ridiculous!!!!
@@yussepig6629 I think both Yankee girls would give their 60 and 70 of their Chicago, Eastbourne or Kansas City titles away for 4 more slams and a Golden Slam in a heartbeat.
those are the only 3 that could and should be debated as the GOAT..this love Seles gets online is silly..she was great for a couple of years before the stabbing but that was it..hell before the stabbing she got hammered in the Wimbledon final by Steffi in a laugher 6-2, 6-1 lol..and the truth is Seles was lousy at Wimbledon in her times there except once
Not sure where you get your numbers from??? Straight out of the WTA record book... King 67, Goolagong 68, Williams 73, Court 92, Graf 107, Evert 157, Navratilova 167. If you're going to do a video on WTA records, then maybe get a copy of the WTA record book?
MONICA SELEŠ is the best player ever,and if she hadn't been wounded, she would certainly have been the first in terms of the number of titles and grand slams won in history
Pure speculation. Monica's way of playing tennis was extremely strenuous. It is quite possible that she would have maintained this level for only two or three more years.
Maria Esther Bueno has 65 titles and another 105 titles in doubles. She was one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Won Wimbledon (1959, 1960, 1964) and the US Open (1959, 1963, 1964 and 1966). BRAZILLLLLLLLL
Amazing Monica seles. Although she was stabbed & lost 3 years primetimes for recovery but she collects 53 titles. She could win 100 titles if she wasn't stabbed. Along 1991 - stabbing she was unstoppable. Respect Monica seles
@@carrerau7138 Slow down there big hoss and let's look at all of the facts. Prior to Seles getting stabbed (by a coward German fan), her head-to-head record in the finals of a major was 4 - 4. After she was stabbed, Monica was never the same player, being robbed of the potential to be the GOAT. Not saying she would have been, but given she was cut down in the prime of her game (at 21 years old) she had a chance. By the time she was 21 years old, she had won 9 major championships (8 of them as a teenager). I believe that this is the most titles ever won by a teenager. After 1993 Steffi started to show her age and slow down. She won 8 more majors after Monica was stabbed. Had she not been stabbed, it's likely she would have won no more than 4 majors after 1993. Moncia was just getting started when she was stabbed. Nothing above takes away from Steffi being great and one of the top five women's players of all time. Just need to look at more details/data than simply saying, "she was 2-5 win/loss against the great Steffi".
@@Mik-xq2co And the lies by Yankee boys never stop…. 😂 1. Seles was as good in the first 14 months after her return as she had been pre-stabbing. 2. She had every opportunity to become the GOAT since she was only 21 when she returned. Same age when Navratilova won her first of her 18 slams. 3. Seles‘s 8 slams until 1993 were not the most slam titles won as a teenager. 4. Steffi did not start to show her age and slow down after 1993, she won 6 of 6 finals in 1995/96. 5. Steffi won 6 slams after The Stabbing on fast surfaces where Seles never was able to beat her. It is a fact that when Seles had her two most successful years in 1991/92 Steffi had only her 11th-best and 9th-best of 15 full seasons (winning percentage) but still won 3 of 4 matches against the grunter. It is a fact that 5 of Steffi‘s only 7 (!) slam final misses of the whole 1987-96 decade happened between mid-1990 and 1992. Even a fanatical nutter like you can see easily that Seles had her success in the early 1990s for one reason - the GOAT was in a deep slump due to severe off-court problems. Why can’t you Americans accept than a non-American is the GOAT?
Maureen Connelly won 9 majors from 1951-1954 (including the Grand Slam in 1953), all before her 20th birthday. Her career was cut short in July 1954 after a horse riding accident severely injured her leg. She tragically succumbed to breast cancer in 1969 at the age of 34.@@Mik-xq2co
Today Świątek won 7 titles in a year and its very good score. With this WTA system of mandatory tournaments for top players its impossible to get, i think, even over 50 titles.
Navratilova is no. 1 in my book. She accomplished all that WHILE being part of one of the greatest rivalries in the history of SPORTS! And while being the doubles GOAT too!
Yes. And if you use the percentage of Monica vs Steffi winning a GS before her stabbing, Steffi would only have around 11 GS. That's why aside from Monica and Serena, Martina and Chris are the only players with the most GS wins.
@@reggieramos9052Since Steffi already had 11 slams when Seles was stabbed you must be the dumbest maroon on YT. Your heartthrob can thank the Graf blackmailers for gifting her at least 5 slams.
Monica seles is my all-time favourite player . If that unfortunate stabbing hadn't happened she would have won more titles than any other player in the list.
How that? 😂 Did you have the hots for the Serbian Screamer….? 🤣 Even at her peak Seles was weaker than peak Navratilova, Graf, Hingis, S. Williams, Henin. She won a lot in a short window of opportunity when Navratilova was too old, Steffi in her worst slump and Hingis still a toddler.
I doubt she would have gotten more than Martina Navaratilova. Her type of game and her her ability to stay fit and athletic probably would have resulted in not a very long career but a short and VERY successful and dominant one. One thing for sure Monica would have ended up with more slams and Steffi would have ended up with less slams too.
@@guyinsf With Seles in the draw Steffi would have won Wimbledon 93. Even you will admit that. And which slams would Steffi not have won? What people like you conveniently never mention is that Seles never would have won so many slams if it weren’t for the nasty Graf Blackmail Scandal in the early 90s.
@@carrerau7138 No one is saying that if Monica was never stabbed she would have won all the slams. We are saying she would have won more of the slam that Graf ended up winning and I think those would be the French, Aussie and US Open. Grass was still relatively new for Seles so she was still trying to get better and of course she would have improved. Additionally the confidence and fitness of Seles dropped so much after being sidelined for 2.5 years that when she got back on the tour she was never the same player and Graf continued to benefit from an "lesser" Seles beyond the 2.5 years as well. Monica was still a teen when she got stabbed and was ranked #1 and had a 3-1 advantage over Graf in slam finals. Also 8 of her 9 slams came before the stabbing so she was clearly winning the slams that Graf could have before the stabbing and would have clearly continued to do so as she was still only a teen and improving.
She wasn‘t. Steffi Graf was far more talented. Seles was grinder who profited only from Navratilova finally being too old and from Graf being in a bad slump due to off-court problems. And yet Seles lost many matches to both greats. She holds to this very day the record of the worst slam final loss (26 16 vs. Graf) and of a loss to the oldest player ever (36-yo Navratilova) for a #1 player. BTW, she also holds the #1 player record for a loss to the youngest player ever (15-yo Capriati). And the worst H2H of a #1 player against any opponent (2-5 vs. Graf). The stabbing inflated her legacy, especially in the USA and Serbia.
Here you are again spouting biased BS. You just hate that so many people know that Steffi and Monica's record would have been different if the stabbing hadn't occurred. Just about every video I see you spouting out your hateful biased comments towards Monica. You really are a sad individual.
Absolutely true. Monica seles was unstoppable since 1991 until stabbing. She won consecutive 8 GS : 3 AO, 3 RG & 2 AO, & even reached wimbledon final 1992 before stabbing. She did make huge progress on all surfaces. Unfortunately they did criminal way to stab her. Even they let that criminal live free & unjailed. That's the worst crime in women sport in history. Seles is stabbed on her primetimes. They succcesfully blocked her steps. Graff is lucky to miss her. Along 1993 -1996 graff didn't find great rival anymore. until new gens came (Martina hingis, Amelie, Justine, Venus etc)
@@akapela2343 Monica unstoppable since 1991 until the stabbing??🤣😂🤣 Dude, she lost 3 of 5 matches against a SLUMPING Steffi during that short time! 2 of them were embarrassing routs. Whereas her 2 wins were close 3-setters, one even a 10-8 in 3rd with poor Steffi making 66 unforced errors. Seles had some other embarrassing negative records in that period: - worst loss ever for a #1 player in a slam final - loss to youngest player ever for a #1 player (15-yo Capriati, San Diego 91) - loss to oldest player ever for a #1 player (36-yo Navratilova, Paris 93) Seles was an archetypical transitional #1, comparable to Hingis a few years later. In this case transitional between peak 87-89 Steffi and peak 93-96 Steffi. BTW, Steffi beat Seles twice at the USO (95 & 96), won 6 of 6 slams in 95/96 while under criminal investigation (and her beloved dad in prison). Wonder what snowflake Seles would have done under those circumstances. Seles should thank the Graf family blackmailers for her 8 slams in 90-93 and stop this constant whining and complaining (actually it is more her nutty fans like you than the woman herself).
Martin, had 177 championships, Serena had 73 that’s a difference of 103 championships, grand slams are just another championship so don’t tell me the one who lost the competition by 103 championships is the greatest player it’s just not true.
@@awsetyo1797 Just because you are to ignorant to know Navratilova’s main opponents doesn’t mean that she had weak opponents. Martina won 12 slam finals against a top 10 all-time great. Serena zero.
We have 3 GOATs. Martina is greatest women's tennis player (doubles and singles), Steffi is greatest women's tennis player (singles) and Serena is second to both.
With only 18 slams and no Grand Slam? Don't be one of those insufferable US nationalists! Court and Graf both have a Grand Slam and more than 21 slams.

@@richcampbell6808there are people on this list with ZERO. But anyway it’s titles total. Not just GS titles. Omitting Lindsay makes this a rubbish video
@@guyinsf Steffi still had the strongest opposition ever during her career. Stronger than Court, Evert, Navratilova, Serena. She won the Golden Slam in 1988 even though Navratilova was certainly the best #2 of all time in the late 80s. Plus Steffi’s career was cut short (retired shortly after her 30th birthday!) due to injuries. I won’t even dwell on her unique off-court distractions. All that is the reason why Steffi is generally seen as the greatest ever. Even in the USA (!) more and more fans and experts agree now.
Plus she and venus where smart business women..alwats doing other projects. had they just played all the wta tennis matches..they still would of been incredible..but maybe not as wealthy or powerful women
Interesting that Steffi Graf was a far more convincing world #1 during her reign, and that she won more major titles per year on tour, and I mean significantly better numbers than Serena's :O
@@johncraftenworth7847 their careers are fascinating to compare. Both incredibly unbelievable GOATS of women’s tennis. They had different game styles but both were ferocious fighters. We are so lucky that they even played each other a couple of times; Serena at the beginning of her career and Steffi at the end. They’ve praised each other even though their personalities couldn’t be more different. They were both instrumental in elevating women’s tennis. It’s sad that that there doesn’t seem to be a player quite as electric as them now to continue elevating women’s tennis. I hope that will change soon. Love them both!
@willybeama1 exactly. The GOAT is not determined by the number of wins. It is determined the way those other great tennis players have done it. They take every aspect: serve, volley, return, speed, court coverage, etc. That is overall play. From that, we know how the GOAT is determined. Michael Jordan is a good example. If we say he is the greatest player simply based on his NBA championships, everyone who played with him has the exact same amount of wins. We determined it based on one overall play. Then, we add other variables.
@@averydavis4050They don‘t even get 15% combined in GOAT polls. Navratilova is maybe the greatest American player ever. But not in the same league as Court or Graf.
Add all of the doubles and mixed doubles..martina by far the GOAT of all tennis players... She may not hold the womens Singles grand slams GOAT.. But her whole body of work wont be duplicated....
I would put both Chrissy and Martina as co-GOATs given the number of titles each won and the competition they faced. Imagine if one had not existed...each won 18 grand slam individual titles and if one did not exist, the other would have likely won over 30 slam titles. Crazy to think of. Also, mad respect for their generation as they played induvial tennis as well as mixed men's and women's. Today's players only focus on individual matches, which saves a lot of energy by not playing in additional matches while trying to win individual honors!
Navratilova lost only 8 slam matches against Evert. 3 of them in 1975/76 when Martina was ranked only #4. One of them being the AO 88 semis when Steffi won the title. So how would Martina have won 31 of more slam titles, you maroon? Navratilova won 13 of her 18 slams (72 %) between December 1981 and September 1986. Her main opponents in that period were Evert, Mandlikova, Sukova, Shriver, Kohde-Kilsch. 17/18-year-old Baby Steffi was 23-0 H2H (46-3 in sets) against these players in 1986-88. Yeah, the competition Navratilova faced.... Idyot.
I agree, between Steffi Graf and Serena Williams, I give it to Steffi. She has the Golden Slam 1988. We may never see it happen again in are lifetime. Serena needs to understand even thou she has one more grand slam Steffi is still on top. If Steffi didn’t retire in 1999 she would had more grand slam titles.😊
Agree .. Steffi should have played for another year or two .. I am sure she would haved added atleast 2 grand slams to her credit. Only 12-13 years.. from 86-87 to 99...
@@awsetyo1797 Serena was 35 when she won her last slam in January 2017. It was only her 2nd slam since July 2015. When and were do you think she would have won those additional 7 slams??
Do titles mean more than slams. I really think the slams have more prestige. Which is why Serena is second to Margaret Court and since Court won her 24 in a different era that's debatable. However Novak Djokovic is lauded as being the best with his 24 slams in this modern era. However especially in this modern era titles do earn money even without slams.
This post shows exactly who the GOAT is......Martina Navratilova by country mile!!!. Over 167 MAJOR SINGLES TITLES AND OVER 177 MAJOR DOUBLES TITLES, her records will NEVER be beaten never mind equalled!!!. Being the GOAT is so much more than how many Grand Slam Singles titles a player wins you need to take EVERYTHING into consideration and Martina is way ahead of of the rest!!!.
Margaret Court won more titles than Navratilova. Including 6 slams more. And the Grand Slam. It is only between Court and Steffi. Navi is the greatest American, though.
Steffi 22 slams. Evert 18 slams. Steffi Golden Slam. Evert zilch. Steffi 5 years with at least 3 slams. Evert zero. Steffi with no negative H2H against any other slam winner. Evert has one against Navi, Steffi, Austin. Steffi with at least 6 slam titles on every surface. Evert only 3. Steffi with 4 years with a match winning percentage of more than 95 %. Evert only one. Steffi with a 8-6 win/loss record against Evert. You are a pathetic American nationalist. Probably also a socialist. A toxic combination.
@@carrerau7138 Calling someone a nationalist or a socialist because you disagree with their tennis opinion? Who let you out of the mental hospital? You are just about as crazy has that nut job who stabbed Monica Seles, many Grafanatics are.
Problem is due to racket technology you can't compare eras. Steffi was probably the fastest. Serena the strongest and Martina most athletic with Chris being most consistent. The game today with the power provided by the rackets negate Martina's serve and volley game. Chris would have more power on her ground strokes but her mobility would be an issue. Toss up between Serena and Steffi but Serena's longevity was due in part to the change in racket technology
Wrong Stephie retired at 30 Serena won 10 grand slams between 30 and 40. Stephanie had the most weeks at number one many more titles Stephanie WON golden Grand Slam. Stephanie had many more titles there's no comparison
@@richcampbell6808 Naw Steffi had no serve and a slice backhand. The comparison is moot Serena served in the 120s and could hit winners off both sides and was an all court player. There is not one stroke Steffi hit harder than Serena. No comparison Steffi was deficient in too many areas to compete with Serena in her prime which lasted until almost 40. Bigger faster stronger with more in her arsenal. Steffi came at the right time she would have been in trouble in Serena 's era because she had power deficiencies in the the serve and backhand.
@@davidtownsend916 Stephanie had an amazing serve more and you probably weren't alive back then and her slice back and is considered the best slice ever
@@richcampbell6808Nope actually recorded her playing and been playing tennis at a high level since 1979. So I have watched her throughout her career and I know strengths and weaknesses of the athletes slice backhand is more of a defensive shot she could hit topspin but chose what was safe. Seles ran her off the court because she was strong off both sides before she was stabbed. Steffi was fast and ran around her backhand to hit forehands rarely came to the net. She was known as Frauline forehand because that was the only shot she had. No one feared her serve but it was run of the mill just to start the point. She was not an ace machine like Serena. So I was alive even watched Lendl Connors Agassi etc in person so I kinda have a good knowledge of tennis since I play and have seen the power of the racket technology over the years and have used the rackets that is why it is hard to compare eras when Martina was dominating with a 95 mile per hour first serve. Now they hit in the 125s due to technology. So........I kinda am familiar with the game and play 5 to 6 times per week.
This post shows two facts: 1) Martina is the greatest champion of all time. Two: If Monica doesn't get stabbed by the German she would have become the GOAT. Graf should have an asteric after her name saying she won many her titles due to her countryman stabbing Monica. It was because of Monica's absence that she won as many titles as she did.
@@simihartseil6593 - that is true, you never know. But the facts are that Monica was ranked number one at time of stabbing and just finished beating Graf again. I think it's safe to say she would have won a higher percentage of their matches including grand slams. Monica was capable of winning 30 grand slams if she was physically able. But like you said, you never know.
There are so many of these ladies are so great. I think the best are: Serena Martina Chrissy Steffie Venus Monica Billie Jean Margaret Court was good but she had no competition. I met Martina at the Phila. Airport. Some clown was trying to get her picture. I helped her with her luggage. She was very gracious and kind. Of the group, Steffie Graff was the best athlete. She could have been a track star. Serena became a mother, and put on weight, plus injuries. Chris and Billie Jean were relentless competitors. All of these ladies were great.
And yet another American nationalist. Hopefully you are not also a socialist because that is the most toxic combination. Steffi and Margaret Court both have more than 21 slams including a Grand Slam. These Yankees girls don't come close (Serena has at least more than 23 slams as well. BTW, can you name a player who lost more slam matches than Venus Williams?
Mixing pre and Open era titles are kinda skewing the results. Before the Open era, sometimes wining a title meant just but 1-2 opponents, very weak ones.
All around. Titles, spectacles, coldness, killer mentality, clutch, fear from opponents, destroyer of opponents, selling and promoting tennis,... SERENA STANDS ALONE AS "THE GWOAT"
How many slams finals did Serena win when her opponent served for the match? Steffi won 4. How many slam finals did Serena win after having lost the 1st set? Steffi won 5. Did Serena falter under the pressure of winning the Grand Slam in 2015? Steffi didn't in 1988. How often did Serena beat one of the top 10 greatest players of all time in a slam final? Steffi did it 8 times. What tournament winning percentage does Serena have? Steffi has a 50 % one.
No one come near to MARTINA NAVRATILOVA in tennis history.. Her medals are like stars in the sky.. you can't even count...GEM of tennis DOUBLES and MIXED DOUBLES medals count is un achievable to any other player
Doubles are irrelevant. At the ATP the #1 doubles player is currently a 43-year-old Indian dude. Says it all about that kind of tennis. The great Steffi won a Golden Slam in tennis AND a the Pickleball Slam 2. At least as important.

Comparing players from the 70s and 80s to the 2000s is quite interesting. I heard Margaret Court won 21 titles in a year. That alone should tell you the competition she faced. The top players back then hard easy early round matches. It hasn't been that way for about 3 decades now. I don't think any player on both the men's and women's side have won 15 titles in a year. This includes Steffi Graf, Serena and the big 3 on the men's side. Its impossible to win the number of titles Martina and Chris won in this era. Even though Steffi was better, her number of titles pale in comparison to Martina and Chris despite those 2 getting in each other's way. The game continues to evolve and winning titles are becoming more difficult. Some first round matches nowadays are better than some semi finals in the 80s. Nostalgia can mess up our memories at times. Each one is free to believe what ever they want, but I can confidently say Serena Williams has displayed the highest level of performance by any female tennis player. A typical example is the 2012 Olympics.
You act like they had no competition of any kind back then you might want to check yourself because you’re wrong, what they have now are rackets that have nothing to do with what Margaret Court played with. It’s just like in golf the players back then shit they could golf their damn ball and if you take the current modern player and give them the same racket and the same tennis ball and the same shoes, the same diet the same training. they won’t be any better than the players back in the day.
@@MrThrock09 I didn't say they no competition. All am saying the competition now is more intense. It was normal for the top female players to win 14 or more titles in a year during the 70s and 80s. Martina, Chris and Margaret Court did it several times. Steffi Graf did it only once in 1989. It hasn't been done since then. Even the big 3 on the men's side haven't been able to win 14 titles in a year. Looking at all the talented players that played from 1990 till date, and no one doing it points to increased competition. The game has become very gruelling leading to injuries and aches here and there. Tennis in the 70s and 80s was dominated by Americans Australians and Western Europeans. Since 1990 the eastern Europeans have really shown their mettle. Some Asian players have won multiple slams. We even have a grand slam finalist from Tunisia. The sport is very global and competitive now. No woman will ever win hundred titles again. This is in no way trying to disparage players of the past. They also had their challenges. I believe there's no single GOAT. There are a couple of all time greats.

Maria Esther Bueno has 65 titles and another 105 titles in doubles. She was one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Won Wimbledon (1959, 1960, 1964) and the US Open (1959, 1963, 1964 and 1966). BRAZILLLLLLLLL
Amazing Monica seles. Although she was stabbed & lost 3 years primetimes for recovery but she collects 53 titles. She could win 100 titles if she wasn't stabbed. Along 1991 - stabbing she was unstoppable. Respect Monica seles
And yet even as #1 she was 2-5 win/loss against the great Steffi (who even was in a slump most of that period!).
@@carrerau7138 Slow down there big hoss and let's look at all of the facts.
Prior to Seles getting stabbed (by a coward German fan), her head-to-head record in the finals of a major was 4 - 4. After she was stabbed, Monica was never the same player, being robbed of the potential to be the GOAT. Not saying she would have been, but given she was cut down in the prime of her game (at 21 years old) she had a chance. By the time she was 21 years old, she had won 9 major championships (8 of them as a teenager). I believe that this is the most titles ever won by a teenager.
After 1993 Steffi started to show her age and slow down. She won 8 more majors after Monica was stabbed. Had she not been stabbed, it's likely she would have won no more than 4 majors after 1993. Moncia was just getting started when she was stabbed.
Nothing above takes away from Steffi being great and one of the top five women's players of all time. Just need to look at more details/data than simply saying, "she was 2-5 win/loss against the great Steffi".
@@Mik-xq2co And the lies by Yankee boys never stop…. 😂
1. Seles was as good in the first 14 months after her return as she had been pre-stabbing.
2. She had every opportunity to become the GOAT since she was only 21 when she returned. Same age when Navratilova won her first of her 18 slams.
3. Seles‘s 8 slams until 1993 were not the most slam titles won as a teenager.
4. Steffi did not start to show her age and slow down after 1993, she won 6 of 6 finals in 1995/96.
5. Steffi won 6 slams after The Stabbing on fast surfaces where Seles never was able to beat her.
It is a fact that when Seles had her two most successful years in 1991/92 Steffi had only her 11th-best and 9th-best of 15 full seasons (winning percentage) but still won 3 of 4 matches against the grunter.
It is a fact that 5 of Steffi‘s only 7 (!) slam final misses of the whole 1987-96 decade happened between mid-1990 and 1992.
Even a fanatical nutter like you can see easily that Seles had her success in the early 1990s for one reason - the GOAT was in a deep slump due to severe off-court problems.
Why can’t you Americans accept than a non-American is the GOAT?
Maureen Connelly won 9 majors from 1951-1954 (including the Grand Slam in 1953), all before her 20th birthday. Her career was cut short in July 1954 after a horse riding accident severely injured her leg. She tragically succumbed to breast cancer in 1969 at the age of 34.@@Mik-xq2co

Yes. And if you use the percentage of Monica vs Steffi winning a GS before her stabbing, Steffi would only have around 11 GS. That's why aside from Monica and Serena, Martina and Chris are the only players with the most GS wins.
She got screwed out of a profitable career.
Was too weak mentally.
@@reggieramos9052Since Steffi already had 11 slams when Seles was stabbed you must be the dumbest maroon on YT.

Monica seles is my all-time favourite player . If that unfortunate stabbing hadn't happened she would have won more titles than any other player in the list.
yes！really👍
How that? 😂
Did you have the hots for the Serbian Screamer….? 🤣
Even at her peak Seles was weaker than peak Navratilova, Graf, Hingis, S. Williams, Henin.
She won a lot in a short window of opportunity when Navratilova was too old, Steffi in her worst slump and Hingis still a toddler.
I doubt she would have gotten more than Martina Navaratilova. Her type of game and her her ability to stay fit and athletic probably would have resulted in not a very long career but a short and VERY successful and dominant one. One thing for sure Monica would have ended up with more slams and Steffi would have ended up with less slams too.
@@guyinsf With Seles in the draw Steffi would have won Wimbledon 93. Even you will admit that.
And which slams would Steffi not have won?
What people like you conveniently never mention is that Seles never would have won so many slams if it weren’t for the nasty Graf Blackmail Scandal in the early 90s.
@@carrerau7138 No one is saying that if Monica was never stabbed she would have won all the slams. We are saying she would have won more of the slam that Graf ended up winning and I think those would be the French, Aussie and US Open. Grass was still relatively new for Seles so she was still trying to get better and of course she would have improved. Additionally the confidence and fitness of Seles dropped so much after being sidelined for 2.5 years that when she got back on the tour she was never the same player and Graf continued to benefit from an "lesser" Seles beyond the 2.5 years as well. Monica was still a teen when she got stabbed and was ranked #1 and had a 3-1 advantage over Graf in slam finals. Also 8 of her 9 slams came before the stabbing so she was clearly winning the slams that Graf could have before the stabbing and would have clearly continued to do so as she was still only a teen and improving.
Maria Esther Bueno ???
So sad for the Monika Seleš...
She was on her way to be the best in the history
She wasn‘t.
Steffi Graf was far more talented.
Seles was grinder who profited only from Navratilova finally being too old and from Graf being in a bad slump due to off-court problems. And yet Seles lost many matches to both greats.
She holds to this very day the record of the worst slam final loss (26 16 vs. Graf) and of a loss to the oldest player ever (36-yo Navratilova) for a #1 player.
BTW, she also holds the #1 player record for a loss to the youngest player ever (15-yo Capriati).
And the worst H2H of a #1 player against any opponent (2-5 vs. Graf).
The stabbing inflated her legacy, especially in the USA and Serbia.
@@carrerau7138fac of dalbaiob pidaroving
Here you are again spouting biased BS. You just hate that so many people know that Steffi and Monica's record would have been different if the stabbing hadn't occurred. Just about every video I see you spouting out your hateful biased comments towards Monica. You really are a sad individual.
Absolutely true. Monica seles was unstoppable since 1991 until stabbing. She won consecutive 8 GS : 3 AO, 3 RG & 2 AO, & even reached wimbledon final 1992 before stabbing. She did make huge progress on all surfaces. Unfortunately they did criminal way to stab her. Even they let that criminal live free & unjailed. That's the worst crime in women sport in history. Seles is stabbed on her primetimes. They succcesfully blocked her steps. Graff is lucky to miss her. Along 1993 -1996 graff didn't find great rival anymore. until new gens came (Martina hingis, Amelie, Justine, Venus etc)
@@akapela2343 Monica unstoppable since 1991 until the stabbing??🤣😂🤣
Dude, she lost 3 of 5 matches against a SLUMPING Steffi during that short time! 2 of them were embarrassing routs. Whereas her 2 wins were close 3-setters, one even a 10-8 in 3rd with poor Steffi making 66 unforced errors.
Seles had some other embarrassing negative records in that period:
- worst loss ever for a #1 player in a slam final
- loss to youngest player ever for a #1 player (15-yo Capriati, San Diego 91)
- loss to oldest player ever for a #1 player (36-yo Navratilova, Paris 93)
Seles was an archetypical transitional #1, comparable to Hingis a few years later. In this case transitional between peak 87-89 Steffi and peak 93-96 Steffi.
BTW, Steffi beat Seles twice at the USO (95 & 96), won 6 of 6 slams in 95/96 while under criminal investigation (and her beloved dad in prison). Wonder what snowflake Seles would have done under those circumstances.
Seles should thank the Graf family blackmailers for her 8 slams in 90-93 and stop this constant whining and complaining (actually it is more her nutty fans like you than the woman herself).

Navratilova THE BEST

Good question
We have 3 GOATs. Martina is greatest women's tennis player (doubles and singles), Steffi is greatest women's tennis player (singles) and Serena is second to both.
Martina Navratilova is the GOAT!!!

2 years because she chose to not play professional tennis.
What happened to Monica is why Steffi will never be the GOAT in my opinion. Not Steffi's fault at all of course.
@@guyinsf Steffi still had the strongest opposition ever during her career.
Stronger than Court, Evert, Navratilova, Serena.
She won the Golden Slam in 1988 even though Navratilova was certainly the best #2 of all time in the late 80s.
Plus Steffi’s career was cut short (retired shortly after her 30th birthday!) due to injuries. I won’t even dwell on her unique off-court distractions.
All that is the reason why Steffi is generally seen as the greatest ever. Even in the USA (!) more and more fans and experts agree now.
Interesting that Serena’s strategy of focusing on Slams gave her great longevity.
Plus she and venus where smart business women..alwats doing other projects. had they just played all the wta tennis matches..they still would of been incredible..but maybe not as wealthy or powerful women
Interesting that Steffi Graf was a far more convincing world #1 during her reign, and that she won more major titles per year on tour, and I mean significantly better numbers than Serena's :O
@@johncraftenworth7847 their careers are fascinating to compare. Both incredibly unbelievable GOATS of women’s tennis. They had different game styles but both were ferocious fighters.

They’ve praised each other even though their personalities couldn’t be more different. They were both instrumental in elevating women’s tennis.

If you recall, she and sister for a short while seemed to have other interests.
@willybeama1 exactly. The GOAT is not determined by the number of wins. It is determined the way those other great tennis players have done it.
They take every aspect: serve, volley, return, speed, court coverage, etc. That is overall play. From that, we know how the GOAT is determined.
Michael Jordan is a good example. If we say he is the greatest player simply based on his NBA championships, everyone who played with him has the exact same amount of wins.
We determined it based on one overall play. Then, we add other variables.

Also, mad respect for their generation as they played induvial tennis as well as mixed men's and women's. Today's players only focus on individual matches, which saves a lot of energy by not playing in additional matches while trying to win individual honors!
Agree
Navratilova lost only 8 slam matches against Evert.
3 of them in 1975/76 when Martina was ranked only #4.
One of them being the AO 88 semis when Steffi won the title.
So how would Martina have won 31 of more slam titles, you maroon?
Navratilova won 13 of her 18 slams (72 %) between December 1981 and September 1986.
Her main opponents in that period were Evert, Mandlikova, Sukova, Shriver, Kohde-Kilsch.

There's no guarantee in sports. Can't say if graf would've won more. Serena had injuries and she did have 2 Serena slams.
Do titles mean more than slams. I really think the slams have more prestige. Which is why Serena is second to Margaret Court and since Court won her 24 in a different era that's debatable. However Novak Djokovic is lauded as being the best with his 24 slams in this modern era. However especially in this modern era titles do earn money even without slams.

Over 167 MAJOR SINGLES TITLES AND OVER 177 MAJOR DOUBLES TITLES, her records will NEVER be beaten never mind equalled!!!.

Problem is due to racket technology you can't compare eras. Steffi was probably the fastest. Serena the strongest and Martina most athletic with Chris being most consistent. The game today with the power provided by the rackets negate Martina's serve and volley game. Chris would have more power on her ground strokes but her mobility would be an issue. Toss up between Serena and Steffi but Serena's longevity was due in part to the change in racket technology
Wrong Stephie retired at 30 Serena won 10 grand slams between 30 and 40. Stephanie had the most weeks at number one many more titles Stephanie WON golden Grand Slam. Stephanie had many more titles there's no comparison
@@richcampbell6808 Naw Steffi had no serve and a slice backhand. The comparison is moot Serena served in the 120s and could hit winners off both sides and was an all court player. There is not one stroke Steffi hit harder than Serena. No comparison Steffi was deficient in too many areas to compete with Serena in her prime which lasted until almost 40. Bigger faster stronger with more in her arsenal. Steffi came at the right time she would have been in trouble in Serena 's era because she had power deficiencies in the the serve and backhand.
@@davidtownsend916 Stephanie had an amazing serve more and you probably weren't alive back then and her slice back and is considered the best slice ever
@@richcampbell6808Nope actually recorded her playing and been playing tennis at a high level since 1979. So I have watched her throughout her career and I know strengths and weaknesses of the athletes slice backhand is more of a defensive shot she could hit topspin but chose what was safe. Seles ran her off the court because she was strong off both sides before she was stabbed. Steffi was fast and ran around her backhand to hit forehands rarely came to the net. She was known as Frauline forehand because that was the only shot she had. No one feared her serve but it was run of the mill just to start the point. She was not an ace machine like Serena. So I was alive even watched Lendl Connors Agassi etc in person so I kinda have a good knowledge of tennis since I play and have seen the power of the racket technology over the years and have used the rackets that is why it is hard to compare eras when Martina was dominating with a 95 mile per hour first serve. Now they hit in the 125s due to technology. So........I kinda am familiar with the game and play 5 to 6 times per week.

Comparing players from the 70s and 80s to the 2000s is quite interesting. I heard Margaret Court won 21 titles in a year. That alone should tell you the competition she faced. The top players back then hard easy early round matches. It hasn't been that way for about 3 decades now. I don't think any player on both the men's and women's side have won 15 titles in a year. This includes Steffi Graf, Serena and the big 3 on the men's side. Its impossible to win the number of titles Martina and Chris won in this era. Even though Steffi was better, her number of titles pale in comparison to Martina and Chris despite those 2 getting in each other's way. The game continues to evolve and winning titles are becoming more difficult. Some first round matches nowadays are better than some semi finals in the 80s. Nostalgia can mess up our memories at times. Each one is free to believe what ever they want, but I can confidently say Serena Williams has displayed the highest level of performance by any female tennis player. A typical example is the 2012 Olympics.
You act like they had no competition of any kind back then you might want to check yourself because you’re wrong, what they have now are rackets that have nothing to do with what Margaret Court played with. It’s just like in golf the players back then shit they could golf their damn ball and if you take the current modern player and give them the same racket and the same tennis ball and the same shoes, the same diet the same training. they won’t be any better than the players back in the day.
@@MrThrock09 I didn't say they no competition. All am saying the competition now is more intense. It was normal for the top female players to win 14 or more titles in a year during the 70s and 80s. Martina, Chris and Margaret Court did it several times. Steffi Graf did it only once in 1989. It hasn't been done since then. Even the big 3 on the men's side haven't been able to win 14 titles in a year. Looking at all the talented players that played from 1990 till date, and no one doing it points to increased competition. The game has become very gruelling leading to injuries and aches here and there. Tennis in the 70s and 80s was dominated by Americans Australians and Western Europeans. Since 1990 the eastern Europeans have really shown their mettle. Some Asian players have won multiple slams. We even have a grand slam finalist from Tunisia. The sport is very global and competitive now. No woman will ever win hundred titles again. This is in no way trying to disparage players of the past. They also had their challenges. I believe there's no single GOAT. There are a couple of all time greats.

But they were before the WTA was formed. This is a count of WTA titles
Where is Lindsay Davenport. She won about 50 Titles
I think monika seles is best ever agar chaku humla nahi hota us per to uski zoli main minimum thirty grandslam hote ❤
Comparison by numbers is a false picture, a different world years ago, like all sports there’s change...just embrace.
Martina was the best..period.
What about Lindsay Davenport
Who is Victoria Azarenko?
an owl on court
Le quitaron sus puestos a María Esther Bueno y Lindsay Davenport, ambas fueron número 1 en 4 temporadas distintas.
Justine Henin ❤❤❤
Chris Evert: 167. The number is wrong.
Evert 157.
Navratilova 167.
Where is Lindsay Davenport? She won 55 titles!
Victoria Azarenko 😂💀
Lindsay Davenport 55 titles..why Lindsay.it.s not theres
I assume this is only during the Open Era. BJK won 129 singles titles in her career.
Where is Maria Esther Bueno?
MARTINA IS THE GOAT.NO DOUBT
177 TITLES😎
Actually 167, this was incorrect but yes she's the GOAT.
Margaret Smith in Open Eras is 92 Titles. Not 97. Chris Evert 157. Not 163. Steffi Graf 107. Not 108
Martina has 167 and Chris has 157....come on!
How do you even win more than 150 titles in your career?! That’s just crazy number!
They had a lot of tournaments with less rounds. So they’d play 3-4 matches and win the whole thing.
Steffi and Martina get my vote for the best
Don’t forget Chris Evert, 157 single titles.
Evert way above Graf
r.i.p. jana
how many won all nine masters thousands, all 500s 250s 375 ?

Graff far better than serena stats are truth amongst others on list better also.
And Evert and Navratilova way way way above Graf
