Anna Kournikova?

 

[Edinboro]

1. Vera Zvonereva (shitty attitude and only 1 grandslam semi final and quarterfinal
2. Jelena Dokic ( I wouldnt call her untalented by any means but not top 4 worthy)
3. Marion Bartoli
4. Ai Sugiyama

Anna Kournikova has got a lot of talent! I guess she's one of the most underrated players because everybody keeps saying "She never won a WTA-title"!

But: Isn't it better to reach a Grand-Slam-semi or the Miami-final than winning a Tier-IV-title in Kuala Lumpur??

I got to admit that there might be a gap between her success on- and off-court but she still has been a very good player! And: She won a lot of titles in doubles and even was number one!

Her doubles resume has been impressive. I guess we're talking about singles though.

Anna Chakvetadze (#5) :tape:

 

[Monaco 84]

From current top 10 I say Ivanovic...and this is coming from a fan. :tape:

bartoli, jankovic

If we're talking tennis talent, I agree on Kournikova.

If we're talking T&A, then of course she has mega talent.

Pathetic thread, I am amazed anyone is taking this crap thread seriously.

Serena Williams.

@ TV Tennis: We are talking about talent. And I guess Kournikova proofed her skills in doubles (and singles anyway)... ;-)

 

[Navratil]

@Bartosz: You are right. Chakvetadze definitly should be on the list.

Noted. She's a doubles GS champ. She has talent. She really should have won a WTA title though.

earlier years S&V could get away with having absaloutly no brain-game and shitty technique all around, and still get quite high.
BSM is the most recent one that comes to mind.

i reckon Lisa Raymond is also not too breathtaking on the singles court.
