Maria Sharapova
23 WTA Singles titles
Maria Yuryevna Sharapova - The most eligible bachelorette in tennis is off the market.
Sharapova made her professional breakthrough in 2004 when, at age 17, she upset two-time defending champion and top seed Serena Williams in the 2004 Wimbledon final for her first Grand Slam singles title. She entered the top ten of the WTA Rankings with this win. Despite not winning a major in 2005, Sharapova briefly held the number one ranking, and reached three Grand Slam semifinals, losing to the eventual champion each time. She won her second major at the 2006 US Open defeating then-World No. 1 Amélie Mauresmo in the semifinals and World No. 2 Justine Henin in the final.

Steffi Graf
22 Grand Slam Singles
There is no question Steffi Graf is the greatest tennis player ever. As shown above, she is in the top 4 in virtually every tennis record possible. She won 22 Grand Slams, two short of Margaret Court's record, but she retired at just 30 years old, and who knows how many more she would have won if not for injury problems. She is the only person to win all four Grand Slams at least four times each, showing her dominance on any surface (she is also the only person to be in the top 4 in titles for each of the Grand Slams).
"Steffi is definitely the greatest women's tennis player of all time." as per Billie Jean King.

Novak Djokovic- another win
Djokovic won 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 in just under two hours! He is now in the right track of his game..Giving us proof that he is in the height of pace for the upcoming challenges.
25 year old Anderson was a threat back then for Djokovic. The latter was beaten way back 3 years ago. However, on this occasion Djokovic gave the 25-year-old a lesson. He began at an impressive pace, winning the first five games and this set the mood for the contest.
The South African was more aggressive in the second set and there was an an outstanding display of pace and control on one point in the third game, but it still ended with Djokovic winning the point.
