I know that the slamless greats vs one-slam wonders is a big topic of debate here, but what if there was a FedCup like format between the last four players to win only one slam (so far) and the four players who are arguably the best/greatest non-slam champions of women's tennis? Which team do you think would reign supreme?

Thoughts?

Flavia and Sam would take care of the doubles match. No doubles combination from the slamless team can beat them in a doubles match. In singles, I think it's pretty close to 50-50 in general. Team A with an edge on grass when using both Angie and Marion in singles. Team B might win on clay since they would be the faves to get 3-1 in singles on clay. On hard it's close to 50-50 in singles I'd say but the doubles match will be won by Sam and Flavia surely. Overall I would favor Team A. They have obvious advantage in doubles imo.

I think Wozniacki was 7-1 vs Pennetta and 6-2 vs Bartoli. Radwanska was 7-0 vs Bartoli. I think Dementieva was 6-2 vs Bartoli.
Marion would have her hands full against any good player

She was 5-4 against JJ and 3-0 against Safina. What does her h2h with Pennetta or Radwanska have to do with OP's question?

I find that last sentence ridiculous too. You just listed a couple of Marion's bad match ups and made a blanket statement that she struggles against anyone good.

Peak Safina to crush them all. :hearts: I miss her :sad:

So it is

Kerber
Pennetta
Bartoli
Stosur

vs.

Wozniacki
Jankovic
Dementieva
Safina

I would give a slight edge to team 1 because of the doubles team of Flavia and Sam. All matches would likely be really close, and I would choose singles according to their general form. Flavia always was a beast in Fed Cup.
