While there have been many great tennis players over the course of the last few decades, such as Agassi, Sampras, McEnroe, and others, I believe that women have been just as great.

There are so many competitive matches and truly respectable players, and the last three decades have been characterized by some legends. I’m going to go through some of the best women’s players during this span, in order.

Coming in at number seven on my list is Venus Williams. In her late 20s now, she’s been in pro tennis for 15 years and she’s simply been phenomenal. With many grand slam wins and a firm grip on Wimbledon, she’s one of the best women to ever play the sport.

While Venus Williams is a legend, Justine Henin was just a little better. Beating Venus on many occasions, this small Belgian warrior has 9 slams. The difference between Henin and Venus is the fact that she won these over a 9 year period.

5. Monica Seles. Hitting with two hands on both sides, she literally pounded the ball with every shot, and her grunts indicated this. For a while, she was untouchable, until her unfortunate stabbing. She was never the same after that. Many believe that she could have been the best woman to ever play had this not happened. Her 9 slams were all won at an extremely young age. 4. Chris Evert. She ruled the 1970s and part of the 1980s, and had a long, successful career. 18 grand slams says it all.

Chris Evert is the oldest of the bunch here, but her accomplishments shouldn’t be overlooked. No current women’s players have 18 career grand slams to boast, and Evert is one of the all-time greats.

3. Serena Williams. A true powerhouse on the women’s tour who won’t be going away anytime soon. She’s the strongest women’s player in the world right now.

2. Martina Navratilova. What an outstanding career she had, and she just never seemed to go away. 18 grand slams and a shining career.

1. Steffi Graf. The queen of women’s tennis, she was the Roger Federer of the women’s game. 22 grand slams.
