Despite their differences, their careers, on and off the court, share some uncanny similarities. But in a head-to-head matchup, who wins — Steffi or Serena?
Steffi Graf is one of the few tennis players who played the game well on any surface. She could control matches on a hard surface, clay or grass.
Serena Williams, on the other hand, has struggled at times with clay, but she can be a terror on hard surfaces, dominating the U.S. Open and Australian Open, and grass, particularly when competing at Wimbledon.
However, Graf’s ability to adapt her game at a high level to a variety of conditions, and the amazing number of victories she achieved, shows why she belongs in the discussion of best women’s tennis player ever.
