Tennis Forever

[JamesDap]

To be very frank, in my opinion, I don't think Serena doesn't deserve to be the greatest just because she is winning slams and might equal or break Steffi Graf's 22 Grand Slams because Serena never didn't have a very fitting rival or competition.


Whereas Steffi Graf won 22 Grand Slams she won it over her very competitive rivals.

Well the picture could have been even more different had Monica Seles not been stabbed by a deranged Graf fanatic. Serena did face stiff competition from around 2005 to 2007 when Henin, Clistjers, Mauresmo, Sharapova were all in full flow. But that also coincides with a lean patch for her. As with the Seles 'if', this will also be an if with the rider that a player can only play the competition she faces. At the end of the day, it's not Serena's fault if nobody over the last so many years has learnt to even serve like her.
