Sharapova is the #1 on Today's (Yahoo) Top Searches! Anyway, who among the women will likely be the #1 now?

Question

If ever the news about Henin's near retirement is true and since the race among the other top players is so close, who among them will likely sit on the throne after JH?

Answer 1

Yeah. She's #1 on Today's Top Searches and will soon be the #1 in women's tennis (no doubt about it)!

Answer 2

Why the best female left playing of course which is Masha.  I'm as surprised as you are about Justine leaving but Maria will fill in nicely as the Top Lady of Tennis.

Wow 6 Russians in the Top 13 spots!

Answer 3

If Henin does retire, which I think is being over played, over thought ( she might just reduce her scheduling ), I dont see why Ivanovic will continue her climb and be number one. Over rated Sharapova isnt consistent enough and doesnt play enough. Jankovic isnt strong enough, yet. Kuz while being consistent, when reaching semis and finals buckles up. Dementieva has turned it back up recently, but wont be enough to make number 1. More then likely Sharapova will have the spot for short period, then Ivanovic and perhaps even Serena will make their move. Plus we have plenty of up and comers ranked within top 25 now ( Radwanska, Szavay, Azarenka, The Bondarenkos etc). Will be most interesting to follow and watch.
