NOTE: This thread rests on the assumption that Pierce and Kournikova return to their top ten form.
How many top ten players are there? You can define that as you like. Perhaps the question should be 'How many players are as good as top ten players?'
You'll note I didn't give a choice of 10.
I'm counting the current top ten
Lindsay Davenport <br />Jennifer Capriati<br />Venus Williams<br />Martina Hingis<br />Kim Clijsters<br />Serena Williams<br />Justine Henin<br />Jelena Dokic<br />Amelie Mauresmo<br />Monica Seles
Top ten when injured.
Mary Pierce<br />Anna Kournikova
IMHO, players who I think would be top ten if they had been this age, and played at this level, five years ago.
Sandrine Testud<br />Meghann Shaughnessy<br />Silvia Farina Elia<br />Elena Dementieva
Which means, in a Tier I with 16 seeds, these players might not even get seeded.
Magdalena Maleeva<br />Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario<br />Amanda Coetzer<br />Iroda Tulyaganova
Which is slightly incredible.
De tour, she ees deeeeep ....
