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'80, 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.
After Venus is Justine Henin-Hardenne. I put her ahead of Venus because she was simply better, and won more slams in a shorter span. While she cut her career short, she's on the way back up now as she's returned to the sport.
The next player on my list is one who I do believe should have been ranked higher, if not for a very unfortunate event. Monica Seles was the best woman in the world in her young prime, even beating the likes of Steffi Graf with ease. Unfortunately, a fanatical lunatic decided to stab her during a match, which effectively ruined her career.
4. Chris Evert. She ruled the'70s and part of the'80s, and had a long, successful career.' grand slams says it all.
After Seles is the other Williams sister, as Serena now has more grand slams, not to mention the fact that she's younger than Venus. The last few years have been dominated by Serena ever since Henin retired, and she still has a handful of good years ahead of her.
You wouldn't believe it, but Martina Navratilova continued to play doubles well into this decade. Not only did she play, but she won tournaments. That's how great she was, and she was even better at her peak.
Steffi Graf is known to many as the best woman to ever play the sport. It's hard to argue against these people considering her amazing 22 career grand slam victories.
