Who Are The BIGGEST NUTCASES Who Lost Their #1 Ranking Due To Pressure And Burnout?
So many #1s who have burnt out due to pressure to stay on top. These girls put too much pressure on themselves. If they remained how they were when they got the #1 ranking they'd be fine. But they felt they needed to go OTT. Therefore burning out. 
I have my Top2.
Dinara Safina 
Jelena Jankovic.
Name some others.

Dinara got injured- chronic back thats why she lost her no1
worst case scenario is Ivanovic who shat herself.

Experiencing and suffering 'Pressure And Burnout' does not necessarily make one a nutcase. Those are two different things, we need seperate catagories: #1Nutcases, #2Burmouts.

But we don't really because that implies there are actually enough examples to make categorising them worthwhile  .
The OP's 'so many' burnouts is a slight exaggeration especially since they only managed to come up with two examples.

Ivanovic BY FAR....
Jankovic and Safina still did something when they were number ones

We can't say Maria handled being no.1 that well either.
Everytime she got to that spot, she had poor results.

Not necessarily a nutcase but Caroline Wozniacki.

Re: Who Are The BIGGEST NUTCASES Who Lost Their #1 Ranking Due To Pressure And Burnou
This thread has Ivanovic written all over it.
Ana lost it because she severly injured her right hand

Re: Who Are The BIGGEST NUTCASES Who Lost Their #1 Ranking Due To Pressure And Burnou
I would not call them nutcases, but there are few players who surely failed to continue their impressive game after they catched #1 spot. Ivanovic, Sharapova, Jankovic, Safina and Wozniacki didn't mantain the level they had before #1.
Sharapova is obviously very close to be #1 again very soon, so she did come back. Ivanovic and Wozniacki are showing some good tennis again, but they will need to improve more next season (which I believe will happen), to become at least consistent top 10 players and than to try to catch top 5. Jankovic is enigma, not sure how much she wants to be dedicated to tennis in future, 2013 will be now or never for her. Safina sadly had to retire.

She had injury issues the first three times she was #1. The only tournament she played while ranked #1 this year was Wimbledon, which was her only pre-QF loss of the season

Maria just isn't fit to hold the Number 1 spot for a long amount of time. Sort of like Venus. |

Dinara Safina
Jelena Jankovic.
Name some others. |
Ana Ivanovic- Didn´t win another tournament above international level after becoming #1.
Monica Seles- Didn´t win another Slam after losing her #1 ranking in 1996.
Justine Henin- Retired under the pressure of being #1 and never won another Slam.
Kim Clijsters- Retired only 12 months after being #1 and never won another Slam.
Jennifer Capriati- Only won one other tournament between losing #1 ranking in 2002 and retiring.
Amelie Mauresmo- Only won two minor tournaments between losing #1 ranking in 2006 and retiring. Didn´t reach another Grand Slam QF.
Lindsay Davenport- Became #1 seven different times after winning her final Slam, always losing it quickly due to pressure and failed to win another Slam.
Caroline Wozniacki- Only handled the pressure for 67 weeks and finally crumbled and hasn´t won a Slam or Tier I title since losing her #1 ranking.
Victoria Azarenka- Hasn´t won a Slam since becoming #1.
Maria Sharapova- Lost the #1 ranking quickly five times already, always unable to handle the pressure.
Venus Williams- Couldn´t hold onto #1 ranking for longer than four weeks due to intense pressure. Couldn´t win any Slams outside of Wimbledon in the prime of her career since losing #1 ranking for the final time at age 22.
Need I go on. Every time a players reaches the #1 ranking for some bizarre reason, the only direction to go is down. The ranking is clearly cursed.
