Serena fans regularly put her in the top three of all time. Despite having fewer Slams than Court, Graf, Navratilova, Evert and BJK. She is an all time great, but not yet to claim top three.
Agree with Mister X. The problem seems to correct itself with time. I am actually having a hard time coming up with OVER RATED players. I can thing about several under rated (why is Lendl never in the mix when talking about player that changed the game, when he singlehandedly changed the way every player TRAINS?)
Graf? Weakest era ever? She only played against Martina N, Evert, Sabatini, Seles, the Williams, Martina H, and a score of more. Like Wertheim says, it sure looks like a weak era when you dominate everybody simply because of your greatness.
I suppose Roger's greatness is due to a weak era (not to mention Pete's).
