Gangstress is 100% right. This argument has been made thousands of times on this board. It is by far the #1 reason why Graf's credentials as GOAT get called into question. That said, it's obviously bullshit.

Re: Why is Graf overlooked?
Graf is exactly where she should be without being overrated and overlooked!  |

Re: Why is Graf overlooked?
IMO,she is not overlooked.
If she is voted the greatest by so many others,that shows general opinion.She would be overlooked if she wasn't.
Maybe Navratilova or Court can find themselves overlooked due to their doubles and mix doubles achievements,but it's not up to me to decide that,but to general opinion which reflects in voting.

Re: Why is Graf overlooked?
Lawl. Graf was lucky to play in such a weak era.
Declined Nav, Opposition bumped off or talentless moonballers.
Retired as soon as the going got tough

At least in 1997 Hingis didn't lose against Coetzer 6-0 6-1

One of these "weak era talentless moonballers" has a very good record against Serena and a very bad one against Graf.

1995: ABSENT, WIN, WIN, WIN (Hingis' 1997 >>)

This is not something you, me or anyone give or take...it's official WTA statistic whether we like it or not...
And even if "you give me" just 2 out of 4 better seasons than Hingis, it's still enough to trump hers...
