definitely be used for henin regarding serena.

The argument isn't that serena isn't great. She is, but she is not the greatest of all time, and not even close.

1. She never won the grand slam, or dominated an entire year.

2. She is having a better run now than she did in her prime. In her prime, the competition was a lot better and she was dominated by other players.

She came close to winning the grand slam in 2002, but hasn't been close since, only winning 2 major titles in each year.

Steffi won the grand slam, and then had three years where she won 3 major tournaments ...So one grand slam, and then three other years where she almost won the grand slam, by winning three majors.


Serena's wins over the years.

this year: she didn't win the Wimbeldon or the australian open.

last year: didn't win the french or the australian open

year before that in 2011, didn't win anything

in 2009, didn't win the french or the us open

in 2008, didn't win the french or australian open

in 2007, won only the aussie because henin dominated that entire year ...while serena was in her prime..no injuries

in 2006, won nothing

in 2005, only won the australian open ...


I can go on and on and on..She is a great player, but not the greatest. There is no greatest player of all time, because every great has a flaw that disputes the claim of being the greatest of all time...
