While there have been many great tennis players over the course of the last few decades, such as Agassi, Sampras, McEnroe, and others, I believe that women have been just as great.
Women are faster, stronger, and harder working in the world of professional tennis and we've been lucky enough to see some absolutely great players. Here are the 7 best since'80, in my opinion.
Venus Williams has been one of the best players in modern tennis, and it's crazy to think about the fact that she finds herself at #7 here. With 10 grand slam wins, her career has been wildly successful. Perhaps the most impressive stat is her four Wimbledon titles.
After Venus is Justine Henin-Hardenne. I put her ahead of Venus because she was simply better, and won more slams in a shorter span. While she cut her career short, she's on the way back up now as she's returned to the sport.
The next player on my list is one who I do believe should have been ranked higher, if not for a very unfortunate event. Monica Seles was the best woman in the world in her young prime, even beating the likes of Steffi Graf with ease. Unfortunately, a fanatical lunatic decided to stab her during a match, which effectively ruined her career.
Chris Evert is the oldest of the bunch here, but her accomplishments shouldn't be overlooked. No current women's players have' career grand slams to boast, and Evert is one of the all-time greats.
3. Serena Williams. A true powerhouse on the women's tour who won't be going away anytime soon. She's the strongest women's player in the world right now.
At number two is Martina Navratilova, who many might believe is the best woman to ever play the sport. She has an incredible number of grand slams (18) and her career lasted for many years.
Lastly, we have Steffi Graf, who I like to call the queen of modern tennis. She has more grand slams than anyone else with 22, and she was simply incredible.
