LOL no one's overlooking Graf.

This won't end well. That said, Graf is GOAT. Serena will have to settle for second best. And that's still debatable between her and Navratilova.

That's true, but I think Nav still gets more credit than Graf.

No Graf is the one who gets more credit because she was prettier and more popular, but Navratilova is the greater player.

Sad but true. People somehow hate Graf because of it. They're quite simply pressed.

What does Seles' stabbing have to do with it?

People on this board discredit Graf all the time because of it. Saying Monica would have dominated her if she hadn't have been stabbed. There's your answer.

That's not exactly hard. Unless your name's Henin.

Depending on how you look at it, yes. Nav is the greatest all around tennis player IMO. In regards to singles(the more popular event in tennis) IMO it ranks Graf, Serena/Nav, Evert/Court. 2-5 are pretty debatable in regards to singles.

:spit: What in the world would make you put Serena in the same galaxy as Navratilova and Evert? Won't talk about Court because of all the Open Era/pre-Open Era mess

It's also not exactly what people think. I don't think Seles would have dominated Graf, but I also don't think Graf would have won 22 slam titles or would have won the French Open 6 times.

What is wrong with you? I'm not saying I believe that because I certainly do not. But pretty much any thread about Graf or Seles turns into an argument about the stabbing. So please, know your shit and take a seat before ripping into me please.

All theory. No one knows what would have happened - Graf may never have lost to Seles had it not happened - who knows. But what happended to Seles should not take away from Grafs acheivements one bit.

This is what I meant and IS a big reason why people on here discredit Graf. The OP clearly has made his mind up already though and won't hear a differing opinion.
