and you all seem to forget that Serena, Venus, Davenport, etc ALL got the opportunity to play with these older rackets as well...
When Graf got her 2 wins over Venus and one over Serena, they were SLAMLESS....mere shadows of their year 2000+ selves.
And with all that said, her wins over the sisters were CLOSE!...You people act as if she dominated them off the court....and you neglect the fact that Graf was expected to win those encounters, and she still managed to lose 2 of the 5.
You Graf fans are so delsuional. Even this video proves that. Look at Date's shots...then look at her shots at Wimbledon THIS year....THE SAME PACE.
Which further proves my point that technology helps more with spin and control, NOT power...power mostly comes from the person, and a racket can only do so much to enhance that.
With all that said, Steffi with a racket of today might have a better slice, but she would never get the opportunity to use it, thanks to the current WTA power.
@Sassymui8 dam ur a funny kid .....graf was over the hill and hobbled with injuries and still beat both williams sisters in her prime she would have slaughtered them.Graf has been considered by many to be the greatest player male or female to pick up raquet and a little shithead like you is refuting the opinion of millions. Steffi won 22 grand slams she won a golden slam 377 weeks at no 1 186 in a row go back and suck on your mothers tit and shut up till its time to change ur napppy
@Sassymui8 shez not that old u know and williams would never match grafs speed on the court and digging out grafs backhand slice would send her insane all serena really has is a huge serve
@QuadThreat85 and graf was nearing 30 and hobbled with injuries and over the hill

The engineer who build Graf didn't gain a lot of experience between 1969 and 1981, dummy ...

@poxmanful Doubt it. Saying graf would beat Serena, is like saying a 50 year old car would beat a modern day car.
