Serena Williams surpasses Steffi Graf and Margaret Court as the greatest of all time for three reasons, according to American coach Rick Macci.
The WTA players with the best grass-court records include several tennis luminaries; Martina Navratilova is the top player, ahead of Serena Williams. Other tennis legends on the list include Venus Williams, Steffi Graf, Chris Evert, and Justine Henin. Here, we examine the nine female players who, with at least 50 victories on the grass surface, have the greatest singles victory percentages on the tour.
Having won 77.77% of her matches, Kim Clijsters ranked grass as her third-best surface in terms of win percentage, ahead of clay and behind hard and carpet courts. The Belgian made it to the Wimbledon semifinals twice and won two grass-court titles out of three finals.
In 1998, Jana Novotna won her two titles on the grass court, at Eastbourne and Wimbledon, compiling a 79-21 record. Before her heart-wrenching victory at Wimbledon, the Czech finished second twice at the All England Club.
