Re: Who os the better grasscourter: Venus or Serena?

Close.... but Venus. Beat Davenport in final X 2. Played higher level tennis in most of them probably.

After that, please don't tell me that Serena is the best on grass. Except her serve, she is very poor

Vee's last remaining wig and Ree just snatched it :sobbing:.

For all of Vee's game better suited for grass, Serena's 3-1 against her in Wimbledon finals (3-2 at Wimbledon overall), and now that she's equalled her title count there's really no argument for Venus anymore. A game more suited to the surface means nothing if you can't implement it more times than your sister who's only serve is really suited for grass.

Venus still has that extra final 5-3 vs 5-2 for Serena
Isn't it more impressive that she won as many titles in 8 finals as Venus did in 9? :shrug:

I guess Myskina must be greater than Serena then, seeing as she has a 100% winning record in Slam finals and Serena doesn't :hearts:
Really?! :weirdo:


Serena's seen 17 more major finals than Myskina.


I know you're pressed, but come on.

No.

That would only make sense if Serena had only entered 8 Wimbledon tournaments and those were her results every time (being a finalist or winner).

With your logic, in this scenario of Wimbledon results for two players:

Player A: Winner - Lost 1R - Lost 1R - Lost 1R - Lost 1R
Player B: Winner - Runner Up - Runner Up - Runner Up - Runner Up

Player A would be better than player B for having won the title once in 1 Final, whereas player B won the title once in 5 finals.

Eh, that's not really fair, comparing winning something once, to having MULTIPLE Grand Slams. I rather win 5/7 than 5/8, you know?
