Who says men are more powerful than women?

This question may be partially truthful, but not in tennis.

The Williams sisters from U.S. are living proofs of this fact. Venus and Serena Williams bagged several championship titles individually. Serena, the younger of the two sisters, shook the scene in 2002 when she got the championship title against Justine Henin, who is currently the top female tennis player. Venus, on the other hand, is recorded to be the fastest female server with 129 mph. The two are known for their power games; and both sisters reached the World’s No.1 Player title in their early 20s. After six years in the tennis spotlight, the sisters still managed to enter the top 10 female tennis players.

Justine Henin of Belgium is the current reigning World’s No. 1 player in women’s tennis. She has bagged titles almost from all the tournament categories by WTA, including the Sony Ericsson Championships giving her $3,000,000 prize money. She had also nailed titles in the French Open, U.S. Open, Australian Open and the 2004 Olympics. Henin is known for her strategies involving mental toughness and great combination of her one-handed backhand and footwork in a game. Her one-handed backhand is known as the best one-handed backhand ever seen in the female and male tennis categories.

Russia holds pride on its women tennis players. As of November 7, 2007, ranking shows three Russian players to enter the top 10 female tennis players: Svetlana Kuznetsova, who is No.1 Russian player on the Tour; Maria Sharapova, who is also known as the world’s highest paid female athlete in 2006; and Anna Chakvetadze. The three snatched the 2nd, 6th and 7th place respectively.

Serbia also proves their female power by grabbing the 3rd and the 4th place in the top 10 female tennis players for 2007. These are Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic. These two consistently take slots in the top players in women’s tennis.

These are just some information for women’s tennis. This information just concentrated on the top ten players of 2007. However, since the public, particularly the female athletes worldwide, becomes more exposed and more welcomed to this sport, it is believed that more names will sprout in the future in this mind and body game.

Can’t get enough of this information about women’s tennis? A lot of information may be gathered now in the Web; but guess what: you can get ahead of the game before it even starts.
