More than anything else, the absence of Sharapova and the early retirements of Clijsters and Henin have hurt the WTA product. This point is really inarguable whether you are a fan of Venus or Serena or of the three absent players. Wozniacki has the potential to be a new star assuming her game continues to rise. As for the next prodigious talent to come our way, I firmly believe it is only a matter of time.

100% agreed.

She just has never been that interesting on her own, despite the pretty backhand and time at #1. Very often, her early round matches at majors are not shown on tv here, and while some may say that's an American thing, Hingis and Graf, for example, were almost always shown.

So, I guess what I'm saying is while she helps the product a lot, she cannot be the face of the tour.
