A-40:
Loool @ analysis and figures! And why should we forget the 22 Grand Slams? Haha una wicked oh! We should forget 22 Grand Slams just like that

You need more than just a good serve to be great! Venus had a better serve than Serena but she is not as good as Serena is! You couldn't touch Steffi's forehand and her footwork was immaculate plus let's also not forget that Steffi played in a much more competitive era in tennis! If Serena was getting fits from the likes of Capriati,Henin and even Stosur think of how she woulda struggled against a Seles,Navratilova,Vicario etc

Steffi Graf is the greatest! If I posted all the expert articles and polls that have her at #1 all-time Nairaland would shutdown
ok, i hate arguments. Let just focus on today's match.

[quote author=A-40]Serena better than Steffi Graf? Not in a million years! Get to me when Serena wins all the Grand Slams in a calendar year and back to back Gold medals (won it all in 88) the Seles argument is moot because even before the stabbing their Grand Slam H2H was even plus Monica never ever beat Steffi in Wimbledon! Steffi was the most dominant and most consistent player and actually battled legitimate greats! (Evert,Navratilova,Vicario etc) Serena's toughest competition is Clijsters and Henin!

I have my reasons you know,looking at analysis and figures, Serena has the best serve women tennis has ever know( her father taught her to throw it like a man), her return is insane, the only tin Graf is better than serena is the slice game. You hardly see Serena slice while Graf slices were wicked. Like you said , Stef Graf was a versatile and phenomena player bt if you really for a second forget she had 22 grandslams and consider these two women's game from there serve, return, to the potency of their forehand and backhand maybe you will understand what i'm saying

Afam4eva: You know, records is everything. She can't be said to be better than Graf if Graf has won more grand slams. Even the media will hesitate to give it to her because of her skin color. So, i guess i'll have to wait until she surpasses Graf's record then we'll consider her the best of all time.
, Graf will probably remain the GOAT bt it could have been different if Monica Sele was nt stabbed( some say Graf arranged the stabbing, i dnt believe it thou), Monica was dominating Graf before the stabbing, also Graf had only won 11grandslam before d stabbing. She won 11 after d stabbing. Stef Graf had no competition after Monica dat jt it, sincerely serena is Better all deprtment .

sholay2011: She won 18. Serena has won 16 now. Hopefully, she would surpass that but she has already proven to be better than Graf!
hmmmm ok , i'm actually #TeamSerena bt Graf had 22 grandslams.

Afam4eva: Sharapova should go and make herself a little ugly. That's the only way she will keep winning grand slam after grand slam. She's too beautiful to be winning competition. There's something called balance in life.
Huh, apparently u are one of the people that tink Pova is second in command to Giselle Bunchen , i laugh in chinese.

Santino1: Not to discount Berdych's achievement but the ranking usually don't tell the whole story... Gael Monfil is no push-over in tennis and as a matter of fact, he's had a more successful run at Roland Garros than Berdych (a la 2008 semi-finalist).
Berdych also got to FO semifinal(2010), Monfils is a bundle of energy, he can cover a court faster than most people on tour but he blows hot and cold. There is a reason he could only crack top 10 once(ranked 7 in 2011). That been said he was exceptional last nite.

dominique: That's got to be the first upset in the male category, fifth seed loosing to the injury prone Frenchman.
Not much is happening right now cos of rain.
i really dnt understand what is wrong with Berdych , one moment he is causing upset beating Djokovic and Tme next he is losing to a wild card entry Monfils rank 81. Not to take anything away from Monfils.

ferrer has 19-4 losing record against Nadal, almagro has 10-0 losing record against Nadal. Go figure
