Lendl endorsement of Steffi confirms it. Steffi is Goat.

And what has Serena winning her 23rd slam to do with admiring Steffi the most?

So he is at least not a slam counting chimp like most of rst.

US Americans and blacks all over the world admire Serena most for obvious reasons. Trumpers, BLM activists, micro-agression whiners and so on.

The rest of the world not so much.

I think Steffi had a wonder tennis career and she was an excellent role model for all female players who want take up the sport. Serena may end up as the most successful female tennis player but she would not ranked as the most sporting person on court, a spoil brat.

Raja, Serena's first slam was in 1999. Her latest slam is in 2017. And she has 23 slams. She too has achieved the most in her sport. Plus even teeth when she smiles which looks great, IMO.

LOL, he said Steffi did "really well", not that she was GOAT, and heck,
this is Lendl anyway so who cares? The world regards Serena as GOAT.

Maybe Graf and Lendl had a fling back in the day and he has a fond
memory? But his admiration can't be based on tennis achievements, LOL.

Either way 23 slams at age 36 does not surpass 22 slams by age 29

How old was Graf when she won her 23rd slam? Think about that, then
realize how off-base your "22 by 29" comment is, or else ask someone
around you smart enough to explain it to you.

Sachin Tendulkar scored his centuries earlier than Lara or Ponting, so you would consider him better?

It says a lot Serena could maintain slam winning form for that long, &
is still going. She'll probably defend AO while having a baby in between.

Serena is greatest ever in the sense of having the best tennis
accomplishments.

Whether she would have the moral bad character to shamelessly rack up
slam wins after the rival who dominated the slams for the previous 3
years was stabbed by a fan desperate for her to be #1 again, no one
knows, but i doubt it.

Even that is debatable.
What is the difference between 23 and 22 slams. Not a lot. Just a win more against Safarova or Wozniacki types.
What is the difference between a Golden Grand Slam and nothing? The whole world. A legendary record most probably never to be duplicated.

Which great rival did she have?
A tiny Belgian who dominated her in the slams? A big sister with Sjogren's disease?
Both who won their last slams before Serena won her 9th (of 23)?

Sabby was among the 10 fastest servers in 1993, with 100 mph. With old equipment. She would serve at 115-120 mph today. It is a myth that she had a bad serve.

Granted, when nervous her second serve sometimes left her which made her serve very slowly (eg. Wimbledon 1991).

It was neither year. Sabby had a terrible serve, and her second serve
was often 40 mph. It was pathetic.

Sorry, 1995. Sabby top 15 with 167.3 kph. 104 mph.
Brenda Schultz as #1 with 189.9 kph. Which is about 118 mph.

Schultz (aged 37) hit 130 mph about 10 years later, with modern racket equipment.
So peak Sabatini with a modern racket would most certainly serve with about 115 to 120 mph today. Which would rank her among the fastest servers of today's top players.

So please stop blabbering your Trumpist prejudices for once!

Bwaawhawhahwhawhaw !!!!

So in ALL those years, Sabby managed to hit ONE serve at 104 mph. That's
not an average for an event, but ONE serve in all her years out there?

LMAO !!!!

Pathetic Max, as usual.

As for "modern equipment", 1990s equipment WAS modern you dummy! That's
why Serena and Venus were blasting serves between 115 - 120 mph in 1998
and 1999! We already covered that ground, and as usual, you were showed

The players who had started they careers in the 80s generally played with different rackets in 1995 than the Willies (both freaks of nature with lots if testosterone) played in 1998/99. You just have to watch at YouTube videos to realise that.

Fact is that Sabby served faster than 100 mph in years when young Brenda Schultz served with 115 mph. ALL players served faster in the 00s than in the early 90s. Brenda hit a record 130 mph (in a quali round) at age 37. Even Steffi Graf hits faster today than 25 years ago!

Jana Novotna (who served up to 118 mph in the 90s) would be among the fastest today.

I have played tennis in the 80s, 90s, 00s and today. To suggest that the rackets are virtually the same only shows that you are a typical couch tennis fan who has never played the game.

Hey, nice Julia Görges from Germany served with 126 mph a few years ago. Do you really think she is a better server than peak Graf ....?
I mean, seriously ... ??

Do you think Steffi had some physical impediment which disallowed her to serve big serves as Serena? Steffi had great technique and was strong as well. And was considered a great server back in the day. She didnt hit as many aces as Serena, but hit a lot of unreturnable serves.

Go watch the 1995 USO final against Seles. Steffi was on fire that day and hit a bunch of aces. You are a known Graf hater and a well-know liar on top of being a xenophobic douchebag; so logical discussion with you is impossible.

Graf had a strong serve, but was never the best server on tour. Her top serve speeds were generally a little best less than Seles. Nobody is on here saying Seles was going to serve 120mph, because we say her play til 2002 and her serve never increased 10mph like people magically think would happen with Graf. Here's the top serve speeds from 1990 to 2001: http://www.tennisforum.com/12-general-messages/96078-wta-fastest-serves-1990-a.html

Graf didn't even make the top 20 fastest serves in 1999 when she won a slam. She didn't hit a serve 173kph in a year when Venus was hitting 197kph. And you think she was going to add 15kph to her serve 2000 on? lol


In terms of physical impediments, a player with off and on back issues whose fastest serve wasn't even as big as Seles' probably isn't ever going to serve as big as Serena...

I see her doing it easily. Graf was an incredible athlete - probably
best we've ever seen in tennis. I think she ran a qualifying time for
100m Olympics? Serena is strong, but a very slow mover compared to the
likes of Graf. You think Davenport is Olympic quality athlete?

Looks like quality of rst analysis is getting dumber by the day - this
could be the equivalent of Sampras' 2001 - rockbottom, dumbest ever in rst.

Since when serve speed matters??? Neither Sampras or Ivanisevic had the fastest serves yet they were the best servers on tour and frequently hit 20 plus aces per match.

In the 1990s, the sisters were obviously using 1990s rackets, as they were playing in the 1990s. It's not possible that they were using 2010 rackets in the 1990s, unless they had a time machine that allowed them to move 10-15 years in to the future, but them, then travel back. So they were using the same rackets as Graf, Sabby, ASV, Novotna, etc. They had to be.
