Alexander Zverev names the greatest women’s tennis player of all time ahead of Serena Williams

Alexander Zverev recently identified Steffi Graf as the greatest female tennis player in history during a conversation with BB Tennis. The German athlete argued that his countrywoman holds the edge over other legends like Serena Williams, Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert, and Margaret Court.

Zverev pointed to Graf's record of 377 weeks at the top of the world rankings and her 1988 Calendar Golden Slam as key evidence for his selection. While Williams boasts more total Grand Slam titles and Olympic gold medals, the debate remains a matter of personal perspective regarding which statistical achievements hold the most weight.
