What female tennis legends would these be? I'd like to read up on what they had to say.

Martina Natratilova and Billie Jean King.

Here's a small portion of one interview with BJK. I can't find the full interview but this at least shows they agreed Serena was no doubt out of line. It's from CNN though so they cherry picked the few negatives that were brought up, to fit them into this small clip to make it look like they were mostly siding with her. If you see the entire interview they were no doubt against Serena but since they are tied to pro tennis, they of course had to try and smooth out the situation where they could.

Interesting vid: she thinks Serena was out of line but also thinks there is sexism in the sport... Wonder what she thinks of the ump's history in officiating?
