Top Seven Female Tennis Players in My 30 Years

Women’s tennis has evolved very much so over the course of the last 30 years or so. It continues to develop into an extremely competitive sport and the bar has been raised some more with each decade.

Women are faster, stronger, and harder working in the world of professional tennis and we’ve been lucky enough to see some absolutely great players. Here are the 7 best since 1980, in my opinion.

Venus Williams has been one of the best players in modern tennis, and it’s crazy to think about the fact that she finds herself at #7 here. With 10 grand slam wins, her career has been wildly successful. Perhaps the most impressive stat is her four Wimbledon titles.

6. Justine Henin. At her peak, she was beating both of the Williams sisters. She retired early though. Lucky for us, she just announced a comeback. At just 27 years old, there’s plenty of gas left in the tank here.

Monica Seles was one of my favorite players growing up, and I’m still saddened by the fact that some deranged man decided to put a knife into her during the match. Her career was never the same after this, but she seriously dominated women’s tennis before this happened.

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.

At number two is Martina Navratilova, who many might believe is the best woman to ever play the sport. She has an incredible number of grand slams (18) and her career lasted for many years.

Lastly, we have Steffi Graf, who I like to call the queen of modern tennis. She has more grand slams than anyone else with 22, and she was simply incredible.
