As many have noticed, Seles was not American citizen until 1994. I got my data from www.wtatennis.com/players/player/190141/title/monica-seles
As you can see, only the current nationality is available through the website. Unfortunately, I didn't do enough research on my end either. My apologies to those feel offended. I will fix this issue in the next update.
Wow, great job.
Yes absolutely Moncia seles was a Yugoslavian back in her rise as a tennis star so we have to be grateful for Serbia too to bring an Unbelievable legend to tennis.
Cool way to View Stats Good Ideal!
thats right
Yes. I was about to take note of that. She was a citizen of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Steffi's resume and professionalism speak for themselves. 1988 was also her golden year, as she completed a Super Slam, the only player to have achieved that in a period of 12 months, winning all four Grand Slam Titles, the Olympic Gold Medal (Golden Slam), and the WTA Tour Championships. Graf won five major consecutive titles in 1988-89 and four more in 1993-94, making her the only women’s singles player to win four consecutive titles in a career - twice. She is also the only singles player, male or female to have won at least four titles at each Grand Slam, a sign of her remarkable versatility and adaptability across all kinds of surfaces. ALSO 377 Weeks at No.1 (lowest ranking was 93 back on 11/21/83 this was back when she debuted). Retired too early, she was ranked No.3 at time of retirement.
The GOAT ! Of that there is no question.
10:51 Simona Halep
Aga Radwanska 🇵🇱 was consistently top 10 and so close to number 1 😢. She retired too soon 😔
Is she retired?
@@bogdanescu86 yess
She retired? no wonder I haven't seen her on TV lately! oh well
Great court instincts. Didn't quite have the power to win a major.
Bogdan Dumitrescu yes she retired and now she is pregnant.
Good times with the battles between the William sisters and Henin & Clijsters, with Davenport, Capriati and Sharapova in the mix, that was the golden age of women's tennis. And Seles ❤❤❤
Maybe your golden age
the best was monica seles, serena williams no comment.
Sharapova took meldonium and she grunts
@@JB-xw6bz Is there a better time period for women's competition? Serena is arguably the best women's tennis player and only the ones named above could give her a run for her money in her prime. Graf is among the greats, but her only real competition was Seles, who pretty much dominated her until the accident.
biff tannen Actually Graf still had a better h2h against Seles until the knife attack.
Seles played for Yugoslavia
Thanks for pointing out. It will be fixed in the next update.
@@joaquingonzalo1945 Wikipedia... Monica Seles (/ˈsɛləs/; Hungarian: Szeles Mónika, pronounced [ˈsɛlɛʃ ˈmoːnikɒ]; Serbian: Моника Селеш, Monika Seleš; born December 2, 1973) is a retired professional tennis player, who represented Yugoslavia and the United States and is also a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame. An ethnic Hungarian, she was born and raised in Novi Sad, Yugoslavia. She became a naturalized American citizen in 1994 and also received Hungarian citizenship in June 2007.[1][2] A former world no. 1, she won nine Grand Slam singles titles, eight of them as a teenager while representing Yugoslavia, and the final one while representing the United States.
I remember she won her 1st world junior championships at d age of 13!💪
She played for Yugoslavia AND later frim 1994 for the USA.
monica seles was the best.
Feel so sad to see Seles' ranking dropped right after being stabbed. She could be number one for much longer than that.
Definitely
Yes, just imagine how her career would have gone had that stabbing not occurred 😔
Wtf? She was stabbed??? Im gonna have to google this
Oh yes Monica owned everyone on all surfaces except grass. Very very sad what happened to her. Funny enough they I think tried to get her from stopping her shrieking when she made a shot. But the stabbing was too traumatic she never really recovered.
the girl that invented orgams on court... uhhh eeeh uuuh eeeh uukkk oink oink... unfairest player of all times.
3:47 OMG Hingis destroying everybody
And she was 16 years old lol
Interesting Venus finally climbed on top for Serena just to take it from her! They became no.1 and 2 a decade after they did it the first time!
Wow - I did not know Halep did not quit the top 10 since 2014 !!!! That’s 5 years now !!!! Not her Nbr 1 fan but she’s one of the most consistent players for the past 5 years ... interesting video , thanks for sharing
Greetings from Romania my dude!
Great Video. Thanks for this!
That Graf lady is something 🔥
Kingz_xxi just played against shit for a long time
@@bencb3 Per ELO and other stats that adjust for quality of opponent she played against tougher opponents than Serena Williams, so try again
anderson Screw idiots like that. That's like saying Serena only won so much because she was bigger and stronger than everyone else. Too bad all the greats didn't play in the same era. Can you imagine Serena. Martina, Chrissy, Billy Jean, Margaret Court, Venus etc, etc competing year after year, head to head!!!! In ä Word, WOW
@@Trepur349 She did but at the end of their career and while they were much older. Seles who was the serious competition and potential winner had to drop. So no real competition for Graf. Serena had tough competition she was just so far ahead she made everyone else look weaker. lol
@@nikosgr9290 Serena had tough competition at the beginning of her career, Cljisters, Henin etc.
But they were all retired by 2008. The rest of Serena's career, where she won 2/3rds of her slams, she had no competition, Kerber, Wozniaki and Halep being 2nd through 4th best players of the last decade. All laughably worse than Everet, Martina, Seles, Sabatini, Davenport etc.
Loving that historic moment when Ana and Jelena were no1 and no2 at the same time
More Serbian again!
Petra was so close to being number 1 early 2012 and again this year 😭
Was also surprised that she never been number 1,l thought she was when she won those Wimbledon titles.
Monica Seles forever number 1. What happened to her is unconscionable. She had 8 grand slams at 19 years old and had her whole 20s ahead of her. It's scary to think how many she would have amassed had she not been so brutally interrupted. At 19, Serena only had 1 grand slam. Still, Seles had the most amazing game I've ever seen. Serena has the power and serve. Seles had the devastating return game. I am so bitter Serena didn't get to play the original Monica. I can only imagine the points. 😍😍😍😍
nope... seles played the best, serena just rivaled it

@@mahasajan That was long after the stabbing
@@MrRazorblade999 nope... records say it all
@@mahasajan Again, it was AFTER the tragedy. Can you read at all?!
@C o NO, Serena was born in 1981.
When Monica was number 1 in the world, Serena was only 10, 11, and 12 years old.
Serena beat Monica after the stabbing incident when Monica obviously was not the same player.
Monica was incredible before that horrible tragedy. Her groundstrokes and mental toughness were unmatched .
Seles ranking varies a lot after the stabbing but she managed to be in the top 10 steady from 1995 thru 2003! The years of Hingis&Davenport & Williams Sisters. Admired her tenacity so much!!! Definitely her absence in 1994 benefit Sanchez Vicario & Conchita Martinez and many others(nobody expected Conchita win Wimbledon 94)Miss Monica so much... the aggressive and precise game of Monica Seles! uuuhhhh heeeeee!!! lol love MS!!!!
Seles could've challenged Graf as GOAT, but we'll never know for sure. She came back, but I don't think she was 100%. Maybe 98%, but even that small dip kept her from being one of the all-time greats.
Graf was the most benefited with Seles absence. Anyway Graf is far from being the GOAT, her record of more weeks in number one (not anymore) was, in many ways, circumstantial.
@@cutechilean Everytime saw Sanchez Vicario in the final is like "wow she is so consistent to beat everybody" and lost with Graf at the final (except USO94) and her record with Seles before the stabbing 1-9. Besides Graf,Sanchez Vicario benefits a lot from Seles absence. Like when you say "in many ways, circumstancial" love it bro
I remember she won her 1stworld junior championships at d age of 13!💪💪 sadly that she's too powerful for Steffi Graf's fan to handle🙂☺
Graf should really thank Monica's stabber. The stabbing made Graf #1 again. Poor Seles was badly hurt, both physically and psychologically. Seles was never the same player afterwards.

I hope you would make more videos like this one that shows the achievements of the big players in order people would get their information straight.
Graff is undoubtedly the greatest female tennis player of all times! None can rival her technique, foot work, consistency, power, grace, humility and sportmanship. She retired at 30 in her prime. If she had played a few more years, no one would ever beat her GS records.
For me it's Billie Jean King the greatest female tennis player of all time
For me Steffi won only one doubles grandslam, if you're going to decide on greatest ever then it would be 1 Martina N, 2 Margaret, 3 Serena, 4 Steffi, 5 Billie Jean, 6 Martina H . If choosing the best you must consider all their accomplishments, not just in singles. I did however put her at 4! Maybe if you had to decide singles player only it would be a tie between Steffi and Serena!
@@ronnieconner5908 to me doubles are completely irrelevant. Dont even watch them 🤷♀️ so I dont take them into consideration when ranking best players.
@@PozoBlue everyone is not you! To me Martina Navratilova was the best ever. I watch both singles and doubles. I respect your decision but feel all players accomplishments are important and everyone is entitled to their opinion! 🤓 oh, and have a nice day! 🤓
Graf didn't have the type of competition Serena had. Monica Seles' stabbing truly changed the course of history.
She had no competition, because she mastered a shot no woman can play that well. The backhand slice is an underrated and underused shot, especially in women's tennis today. Everyone is just playing brainless power tennis. If the girls would use their brain and play low slice shots against Serena, Serena would have tough time lifting the ball over the net with her 175 pounds.
@@lgeiger Tennis is way more athletic than it was in Graf's time. That slicing backhand wouldn't stand a chance even against a mediocre player today.
tjrtt not true. The slice - at least the way Steffi hit it - would be incredibly effective today. All the women today hit the same ball, hard and flat. That’s why Serena has prospered. Take the ball out of her zone and make her actually time it and add controlled pace, and she won’t be so effective. (Remember her loss in the US Open semis a couple years ago.). The other women would be even more pressed playing against that knifing slice.
Her slice was amazing and she has one of the best forehands ever. That's some good variety.
But anyone saying Steffi didn't have the competition that Serena had are absolutely false. Serena's toughest rival during her career has been her own sister. Have you seen some of the players Steffi beat to win Slams?
Also Steffi retired at a pretty low age because of injury but also she was the best ever, so why wouldn't she. She had no real motivation anymore.
Serena on the other hand won most her Slams after the age of 30 that's when Steffi already retired and there's no competition when Serena reached her 30's.
Steffi faced players that were way more consistent. Steffi constantly met the same players in the final of Slams or even earlier. And we can't forget that Seles could have been the GOAT or at least make it similar to Navratilova vs Evert. Steffi vs Seles would be an all time rivalry. Serena has never faced a player at the level of Seles so while it is sad that she got stabbed that would only make Steffi have a truly truly tough career with playing a top 5 of all time player throughout her career, Serena hasn't had that. Serena faced some strong players but not consistently.
Lindsay Davenport was asked in an interview after her retirement who was the toughest player she had competed against (taking into account she played in the Graf, Williams sisters, caparati, Henin era) she replied by saying Steffi Graf that her slice was never given the credit it should have had.
Serena 2014-2016 i loved watching her work
That was very cool.
Gaby Sabatini was a top 10 for almost 10 years. In 1991 was only 15 point to numer one. If only she had won Wimbledon in 1991!

Sharapova ❤️❤️❤️
I'm proud of Halep because she won her first Wimbledon championship a few days ago
Simona Halep🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴❤️
Pre stabbed Seles and Althea Gibson are the two best players ever. Both had circumstances which gave them a short time at the top.
What program did you use to make the ranking?
Very likely python + pandas. Check out also this video ruclips.net/video/vd7z_rWeddY/видео.html which is essentially a prototype
@Jose Cardenas Good point. Wimbledon springs to mind as I think it was all over in under an hour and it stopped Seles completing the calendar grand slam as I think she won the other 3 but I would have to check but yes you are right that was a close match and even clay was not her best surface she still won 5 or 6 French Open titles which is pretty amazing
What software is used to make these 'ranking history' videos? I've seen so many of these charts and I'd like to make one myself but I have no idea how.
6:13 María Sharapova.... ❤️
Lol
She seems to be a likable person, but there used to be some controversy around her
I never realized as a german that Steffi Graf was THAT dominating... Holy Cow!
GOAT for a reason
With the support from a disgusting crazy fan! Anything is possible!
I mean we'll never know how good Seles would have been if she wasn't stabbed.
Maybe Seles would be considered the GOAT today if she wasn't stabbed. Maybe she would have still come up slightly short of the almost impossibly good run Graf had between 1987 and 1991.
It's impossible to say.
Important to note that the peak of Graf's career happened years before the stabbing. Take away half of Graf's titles 1993 on, and I think Graf is still arguably the GOAT simply because of how good she was in the late 80s
@@starside7 It was a cruel and disgusting act, but still... Even at Seles BEST.
Graf was better in my opinion, they played a lot against each other and Steffi won most of the matches...
@sara lincoln I know that, but that makes no difference. That was sad and horrible. I saw that on TV. But still, i was young and did not realize how good she was 😊 Why i has to defend my opinion against this fan, because i am german too? Do you think i sat at home and cheered after that? Seems like it, because you have to write it in BIG letters, shame on you... It's my opinion and it's backed up with statistcs, nobody knows how it would be if this has not happened
+RandomStats What is the program you used to make these animated bar graphs?
Celui qui a réalisé l' évolution de l' historique du classement des 10 meilleurs joueuses du monde est un génie. Merci à lui.
D'accord avc toi
I remember vividly when Monica Seles came in with her famous grunt and two-handed forehand-backhand combo and literally changed the game forever. The stabbing incident is the only reason why she didn't reach #1 on this list. No shade to the other ladies but Monica was simply legendary and freak of nature talent-wise.
I hated the grunting. I always rooted against Seles (and Sharapova, and Serena) because I consider it to be unsportsmanlike. It is impossible to know, but I think it highly likely that if Seles had not been stabbed Serena would be #1 on this list because Seles and Graf--both of whom are better than Serena, in my opinion--would have split many titles and weeks at number one.
5:57 both Belgians on the top
7:38 and Serbians
Wonderful video; it showed us by numbers the performance of the big players. I always knew that Serena is great, but never imagined that she was that great. She ranks right after Graf and Navratilova, and she is still playing. Wow, what an achievement, dear Serena. I wish you continue to play and get back to RANK NUMBER ONE, which you deserve. I believe this video will silence all the Serena haters who are prejudiced and are jealous of her outstanding abilities.
Very cool

Absolutely fascinating, just like the men's one.
All those comings and goings and sudden disappearances and re-arrivals! 😉
Only slight gripe, it would've been nice to have gone back to the early 80s to see the dominance of the Navratilova v Evert era!
graf ended her career at age 30...i she continue playing till 38 would have won at least 40 grand slams...

Happy to see Li Na, really proud of you
90 - 05 was pretty entertaining to watch. Too many ladies to name and they were all fierce. Great competition.
Steffi Graf & Maria Sharapova💕💕💕
Steffi Graf is the greatest female tennis player of all time. Her stats are better than Serena's in every category. The only reason people think Serena is better is because she's won one more slam than Graf (23-22). BUT people don't take into account Serena entered many more slams than Graf did and has played much longer. Actually Graf's enter to win ratio in slams is far better than Serena. Add to that Graf actually won the calendar golden slam and dominated her era like no other player. Serena has had to many highs and lows. Go take a critical look at the stats. Graf is greatest of all time.
One more thing this SPECULATION Graf wouldn't have been as successful because of the Monica Seles stabbing is pure bull shit. Graf played who was in front of her. Graf retired on top and had she stayed in the sport may have won 30 slams.
Well said Timothy. Statistically speaking Steffi's stats are far more impressive than Serena's. One of the ways I rank the greatest playersi is by comparing their best seasons. Steffi has had 5 seasons where she won 3 or more grand slams, 3 times where she won every match. Her 1988/89/93/95/96 seasons all rank in my top ten of all time. Only one of Serena's - 2002
@@reynardtg Serena has the greatest serve of all time and maybe the best return of serve. Steffi had a great serve too and the superior forehand. Steffi was the best mover in tennis history. Her sliced back hand was natural and she volleyed better than Serena who is a mediocre volleyer. I prefer the fluid gazelle style of Graf to the power thuggery of Serena and and the modern game.
@@timothyhudson9976 Agree with you. Was watching clips here from the Australian Open 1994 last week. Arguably Steffi at the peak of her powers, everything working, but her movement was phenomenal. One other thing that separated Steffi was her pursuit of perfection on the court rather than records, unlike Serena and Martina who nailed their colours to achieving status in the game as the best ever. When Steffi won her q/f against MJ Fernandez Wimbledon 95, for example, she was elated because she knew she had played near perfect tennis.
Graf was the longest on the graph!
Since 1975, only 28 women have been ranked No. 1 in singles. Of these, only 8, all legends of the game, had runs of 52 consecutive weeks or more at the top: Graf(3x), Serena, Navratilova, Evert, Seles & Hingis (2x), and Henin & Barty(once). By April next year, Swiatek will more than likely join this distinguished group when she records her 52nd consecutive week as No. 1.
Superiga!
Davenport had that "mom-look" before she ever had a child just like Ljubičić had that dad-look before having children.
Haha on point
I was saying that watching 2005 Wimbledon final the other day 😂😂
Monica Seles is Yugoslavian!
¡Qué bueno! 👍👍
Does anyone know the reason at 3:31 to 3:33 when Conchita Martínez surpasses Jana Novotná and Martina Hingis becoming world No.4 by the end of 1996? There should be no tournament at that time for such drastic change in ranking.
there's just one female number one of tennis for me and that woman is *Monica seles*
I agree. 8 grand slams as a teenager and countless on the way had it not been for that psycho.
I can’t agree. I think she was a cheat. That bullshit fucking screaming that she did and hoes like Sharapova do is ridiculous. Same with Nadal and Djokovic, it’s an advantage to cover the balls noise through the air and a disadvantage to their playing partner. Should be banned, you don’t need to do it. Don’t hear boxers or mma fighters carrying on like that
@@dmkappa62 Hahaha this is the most stupid comment I've ever heard.
Danilo Ninkovic ooh I new a Serb would comment when I mentioned Djokovic, haha. But if you think that comment is stupid Federer actually said it. But saying Federer to an arrogant Serb would only induce more negative comments. Federer is and always will be the GOAT. Also two handed backhands should be banned

justine henin will always be my favorite as tennis skills is corcerned it was a pleasure to watch especially that beautiful backhand
it was a joy to watch her perfect technique and amazing foot work, Henin also my favorite all times
Jennifer and Monica don’t get enough credit for what they brought to the game especially at such a young age.
It's a nice way of displaying the statistics. Shoes quite clearly how Serena's success in paper is really only due to the fact that she filled the gaps and took the trophies during the periods of time when competition was low. Whenever there were great players on the tour, Serena dropped in the rankings, and quite far at times. Nowhere near the domination of Navratilova, Graf or even Henin.
That doesnt make sense lol, Stefii with 22 GS while dominating rankings for longer shows she played against weaker opponents. You dont win 23 or 24 by playing "only when the competition was low" That is evidence by looking at how easily Seles got to rank 1-2. Stefii played against weaker opposition.
Makes perfect sense if you follow their career closely. Their father was terrified of burnout and injury so preferred they skip certain tournaments. He knew which ones presented the greatest chance of victory combined with prize money. He was more about payout. That is why you now see serena grab appearance fees and bow out without trying to actually win. Money!!
