@@rattata30 But of course most players tried to avoid Steffi since it mostly meant a crushing defeat. But among the fans she was always the most popular. Easy on the eyes, her style of play a visual delight. But even more her humble and friendly way, especially towards the little people. And how she overcame an insane string of injuries and off-court distractions.

@@silviatennismusic El comportamiento de Steffi tras el atentado de Mónica dejó patente que clase de persona es, solo visitó a Mónica una vez en el hospital, es más, hubo una votación entre las 20 mejores de esa época para conservarle el n°1 o no a Mónica mientras se recupera de la puñalada, Steffi es tan buena persona que dijo que no para así poder ser ella la n°1 porque en aquel momento lo tenía bien difícil, la gran beneficiada de aquello fue Steffi, acaso tomas café con ellas tu?, el comportamiento de ambas dice mucho de quien es cada una, y Mónica Seles ha sido y es una de las jugadoras más queridas y respetadas por la gente, cosa que no tiene Steffi ni tendrás jamás el cariño y la simpatía de la que goza Mónica por parte de compañeras de profesión y del publico

[@dennisjacks7923]

@Max E You've only got one thing wrong. She was 8 years as WTA #1 player (there is a difference), not 8 years as world year-end #1. She is tied with Chris Evert for that record, 7 years. And there's not need to tried to knocked other players. Navratilova has the most singles titles 167, 60 more than Graf (who is 3rd all-time) and the most double titles 177. Not to mention the most Doubles Slams titles, and is second overall in total slams titles with 59.

Graf is and always will be the GOAT..comparing Seles to Graf is just plain desperate to do 🙄..if you want to compare somebody? at least use Navratilova..Seles is on the same tier as Hingis..a great player but was not in the same light as Steffi or Navratilova..if it wasnt for the injuries mounting up at the end of her career? Steffi might have wound up with 30 grand slams and had played well into her 30's..her career was actually cut short
