Mary Joe broke the Top 20 at 17 the year Chris retired. She reached GS finals in 1990, 1992 & 1993 so she belongs more to the Graf/Seles era. She even reached round of 16 in Roland Garros and US Open in 1999.

But bad news for Ana (current #7) is if she even reach final at RG, she will be 6th after that in best case  .

Great list Brian & good idea to update, Spiceboy. It's only fair to mention, imo, that the players in large type & italics above were surely ranked higher before the inception of the rankings in November 1975.

Well said AndyT!
Billie-Jean King & Margaret Court were both former #1 ranked players - did Evonne get to #1?
And Francoise Durr (not Frances Durr) reached a peak of #3 - I had to spell that out to those who weren't sure. 
It would be great to know the highest rankings those others like Rosie & Morozova etc got to also out of respect for them ...

Aren't you missing Magdalena Maleeva, or am I simply to blind to see her?
