Ghost of Love
Most of the people who believe that tennis isn't competitive (EDIT: women's tennis, for the purposes of my point) weren't around when the legends played and dominated and lack the perspective of who was playing who at what point in their respective careers. They just see stats and grand slam numbers and say 'man tennis isn't the way it used to be'. There was a bigger gap between 'greats' and 'averagers' back then. If anything, there is a more level playing field now, at least in women's tennis. That's precisely why it hasn't been exclusively Venus vs Serena since 99.
