"In the 90s they had more technique. Steffi could hit slice, backhand slice. But no so many people can hit slice and backhand slice today.
"I think the 90s were more interesting. There are pluses and minuses. Before there were some plus points, now it's more speedy. It's difficult to say."

Justine Henin is also a super athlete. But so's Serena. She's a very tough player, more powerful and very strong mentally. "I like Steffi Graf and Justine Henin."
