Paris champ Ivanovic on top of the world


Ana Ivanovic's reign as world number one could be short lived if one looks at the talent currently playing the women's game. The 20 year old has matured by winning the French Open, although she did it in the absence of the retired Justine Henin. She claimed 850 ranking points to become the first Serb to be world number one.

Currently Maria Sharapova, Jelena Jankovic and Svetlana Kusnetsova are all within reach of her position with Wimbledon coming up. Then there's the other hopefuls Elena Dementieva, the Williams sisters, Anna Chakvetadze and surprise Roland Garros finalist Dinara Safina.
