Top Seven Female Tennis Players in Modern Tennis
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.
There are so many competitive matches and truly respectable players, and the last three decades have been characterized by some legends. I'm going to go through some of the best women's players during this span, in order.
Coming in at number seven on my list is Venus Williams. In her late 20s now, she's been in pro tennis for 15 years and she's simply been phenomenal. With many grand slam wins and a firm grip on Wimbledon, she's one of the best women to ever play the sport.
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.
It's really hard to put Chris Evert here at four, but that's how competitive this field is. With' career slams, she is simply one of the best to ever play.
After Seles is the other Williams sister, as Serena now has more grand slams, not to mention the fact that she's younger than Venus. The last few years have been dominated by Serena ever since Henin retired, and she still has a handful of good years ahead of her.
You wouldn't believe it, but Martina Navratilova continued to play doubles well into this decade. Not only did she play, but she won tournaments. That's how great she was, and she was even better at her peak.
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.
