graf, navratilova, serena, then seles

 

If you look at the indoor records of the players Graf and Navratilova have the edge over Serena because they played longer. But I think when Serena is done she will be remembered is the best indoor player.

 

Serena?

As in, Serena Williams?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

...heh...hehe...

HAHAHA!

 

What´s there to laugh oooo?!!

where does seles fit into this?

 

Serena's indoor record is strikingly unremarkable. What, two or three tournament wins, and the only big one ended with a walkover? Pfft. She's not even in the same league as Hingis or Davenport or even Maleeva!

 

Kim Clijsters

 

How many tournaments has Serena played indoors? One or two?

Let the ring bearer decide

 

Let the ring bearer decide

who's that..are you talking about lord of the rings.

 

lol... no one!

You should exclude Serena if you think you must

 

Good to exclude Serena. Way too small sample size, compared to the others.

Now with the new question, I think Hingis will be bottomed out, dazed and outright spanked last.

The others are about equal.

 

Yeah who do you think from this list plays the best indoors?graf,hingis or Seles,navratilova?

hmmm, Graf and Navratilova are retired, so plays isn't the right word

I think Hingis' record of 2 Tour Championships, 4 Tokyo PPO titles, 4 Filderstadt Titles plus titles in Zurich, Philadephia and Moscow as well as finals appearances too numerous to mention is surely quite worthy of a place in this elite group. She has won everything worth winning on the surface at least once.

 

Graf, Navratilova, Davenport, Hingis, Seles....... hmm Time will tell for Serena, right now that´s my top 5

 

hingis of course, i've alwyas felt that the indoor courts are her best surface, followed by hard courts, clay, and of course, the dreaded grass courts. The speed helps her serve and her speed lets her catch up to the balls without being affected too harshly, she has the perfect game to play on the fast indoor courts, the courts help her more than hurt her, unlike the grass.

 

I think Martina was definitely the queen of indoor tennis. Then again in her day, more tournaments were played indoor and on carpet then they are now.

The one player not mentioned that seems to thrive indoor today is Lindsay Davenport. I think of active players today, she has the best record indoors.

 

Graf, then Navratilova, then Seles...
But if I have to choose from anyone, I say Maleeva is best on carpet, and Kim and Lindsay overall.

 

all players selesadmirer listed would at their best kill maleeva on carpet.

people have lost their perspective a little since moskou!

SF W Nathalie TAUZIAT (FRA) 6-1 6-4
FR W Lindsay DAVENPORT (USA) 4:6 6:3 6:4

proven (lol )

 

You think that's her only result on carpet?
I'm not saying that she's the best ever, but it's her best surface, and she poses a serious threat to anyone on it!

She holds a strong 106-45 record on it, not the best record ever, but considering she isn't much of a threat throughout the rest of the year, this is very decent!
She also made alot of upsets in the past, on carpet.

 

no serious
nav won like 8 masterstitles, beat the number 1 and 2 on carpet at 37 and so I can go on

I think this woman has a right to call herself the indoorqueen

 

I didn't say it was her only result on that surface (it's her biggest title though)

you said she was the best overall and I think that's exaggerated.
she never won the masters afterall
