Post a CommentThis list is dumb. Billie Jean King and Chris Evert wouldn't last a minute against the current competition today. . .Navratilova might. But, Serena should be #1. Todays tennis has the highest level of competition in its history, and she is still dominating the competition.
Where is Margaret Court??? How can you put Serena ahead of her? She has won the most grand titles in both mens and womens, its a disgrace to not have her on the list. She should be in the top 3 AT LEAST. Serena shouldnt be on the list. Shes in the top 15, but not in the top 5.
Just change your list at 1st place.
1)Steffi Graf
2]Martina Navratilova
3]Chris Evert
4]Billie Jean King
5]Justin Henin
Interesting picks. Not that you are right or wrong, but did you consider Billie Jean King?
Staci, Where is Venus? :)
