2366737, Age isn't much a factor in FEMALES tennis

It makes a different for MALES b/c they get stronger & more powerful in their 20s. Females actually tend to regress or plateau after peaking in their teens or early 20s. Most of her peers pick up injuries & end up retiring in the mid 20s b/c their body is spent by the time they hit 25.

Monica got stabbed at 20:

-Steffi won the Career grand slam at 19
-Monica could have won the career Grand Slam at 19 if it wasn't for Steffi (Steffi WHOOPED Monica at Wimbledon during her so called reign)
-Hingis almost won a career Grand Slam at 17 & 19

Capriati was actually more talented than Monica (Her power game used to give Seles trouble on hard-courts even when Monica was cleaning up shop b/w 1990-3) but her father killed her career after she won the gold medal in Barcelona at 16. She actually came back from her weight/drug problem to win 3 grand slams (including defeating Monica at the Aussi) meanwhile Seles was only able to win one grand slam after her return....Muphuckas acting like Seles lost her limb or some shyt.

If you are going to bag on Steffi ONLY winning THREE Grand Slams b/w 1990-92 then YOU should EXPLAIN why Serena ONLY won TWO Grand Slams b/w 2004-2007 (both of which were on the dyke power friendly Aussi open)......**I'll wait**
