TOP 10 ALL-TIME WOMEN'S TENNIS PLAYERS

How can Steffi outrank Martina who won 59 Grand Slams when Steffi won "only" 23? The question was who is the best woman tennis player ever, not the best woman singles player. Martina won over 340 WTA tennis titles, more than 230 more than Steffi. Martina was ranked in the top 5 at year end for 20 consecutive years, Steffi around 12 years. If Martina did not play Singles, Doubles and Mixed Doubles at all those slams, the would have won more than 18 singles slams. Think about all that effort playing three titles per slam rather than one. Steffi was an outstanding all time champion, but she was not very good at doubles or mixed doubles, whereas Martina could dominate all three of these forms of the game.
