The Top 7 Women’s Tennis Players Since 1979
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 1980, 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.
6. Justine Henin. At her peak, she was beating both of the Williams sisters. She retired early though. Lucky for us, she just announced a comeback. At just 27 years old, there’s plenty of gas left in the tank here.
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.
4. Chris Evert. She ruled the 1970s and part of the 1980s, and had a long, successful career. 18 grand slams says it all.
Serena Williams has one more grand slam win than sister Venus, and she’s a year younger. This pegs her at number three on my list, and I believe that she’ll win a handful of additional slams through the rest of her career.
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.
Steffi Graf is known to many as the best woman to ever play the sport. It’s hard to argue against these people considering her amazing 22 career grand slam victories.
