History - Steffi Graf

 Steffi Graf

22 Grand Slam Singles

There is no question Steffi Graf is the greatest tennis player ever. As shown above, she is in the top 4 in virtually every tennis record possible. She won 22 Grand Slams, two short of Margaret Court's record, but she retired at just 30 years old, and who knows how many more she would have won if not for injury problems. She is the only person to win all four Grand Slams at least four times each, showing her dominance on any surface (she is also the only person to be in the top 4 in titles for each of the Grand Slams).

"Steffi is definitely the greatest women's tennis player of all time." as per Billie Jean King.
