Steffi Graf definitly who can answer this question >
It's Steffi Graf - she has won 22 Grand Slam singles titles, including the Golden Slam (all four Grand Slams in a year + the Olympic Gold Medal in singles, in 1988). Martina Navaratilova has won the most number of doubles Grand Slam titles. She is also the leading winner of overall Grand Slam titles.
Serena Williams is ranked number one, and is the player to have won the most grand slams on the WTA tour at the moment. So, in my opinion, she is the best. But, Steffi Graf (a retired player) has won many more grand slams than Serena.
Steffi Graf goes by Fraulein Forehand, and Die Grfin.
