Since the long term injury to Serena Williams and the demise, through injury of Maria Sharapova and with the final retirement of Justine Henin, there is currently no female player who absolutely dominates world tennis. Currently the top three are Caroline Wozniacki, Kim Clijsters and Vera Zvonareva, who will hold those positions when the French Open Championship begins in Paris in May.

The latest world rankings tell us that the best player in the world right now is Wozniacki from Denmark, a gifted 20-year-old but has yet to win her first “Grand Slam” title. However, she has won plenty of tournaments, resulting in her lofty position. But as the French Open approaches, the pressure is on her to prove her position.

Wozniacki has won three times on tour this season—Dubai in February, then came victory at Indian Wells in March and earlier this month she took the title in Charleston. Before these victories she had played well at the opening “Slam” of the year in Australia, where she reached the semifinal before going down to Li Na.

It was her second consecutive Grand Slam semifinal after reaching the same stage at the US Open last September; that time she went out to the eventual runner up, Vera Zvonareva. Twelve months earlier she made the final at Flushing Meadows only to be beaten by Kim Clijsters. Those efforts suggest she’s got the ability to once again reach the latter stages in Paris and is entitled to make her presence felt.

For many, being number one without a Grand Slam title to your name is the equivalent of being a “Queen without a Crown.” It will be a concern to the Dane, but no one can accuse her of doing anything wrong. She is winning ranking tournaments, doing so in fact more often than any of her rivals. She is only 20-years-old...
