Actually, I was going to make a separate list for women also. The thing is, during the years I really liked tennis, women's tennis was extremely uncompetitive. Steffi Graf was head and shoulders above everyone else, and when Seles finally came along and appeared ready to topple her, there was that horrible stabbing incident. I think that if I were to rework the list to include women players, I'd have to put Steffi Graf on the list, and possibly Navaratilova. But beyond them, I don't really have any favorite players. Chris Evert's game was always kind of boring, Sabatini didn'win very often, and this new generation of Williams' sisters don't seem to take the sport very seriously. The one player who did have a very intriguging game was Martina Hingis but in some ways, she came in the wrong era. Before the Williams sisters and their power games showed up, she was able to use her uncanny ability to use the whole court to beat almost everyone. Too bad injuries and the evolution of the power game derailed her altogether.
