Forever: Lindsay Davenport. My girl. Made me a crazy tennis fan many moons ago. No matter how many babies she pops out, she'll always be my number one. Nuff said.

1. Alisa Kleybanova. My new love! My retro reminding chunky old school raw Lindsay-like Russian that I just fell in love with. First player in a long, long, long, long time that I've gotten really excited over.

2. Victoria Azarenka. I've been having my eye on her since her junior days. Wicked game, even if it is a bit much at times. She's got a grunt that can peel paint of walls, but I like how she's taken her time to rise up the rankings. And I love that she's mixed slam doubles champion twice, proves that she's got more game than just wacking a ball.

3. Maria Sharapova. I've had a love-hate relationship with La Pova since the beginning. Liked her, hated her, dispised her, felt sorry for her and started to like her about 16 months ago. Her game is text book big babe which is what I love but what probably did it for me was to see her mature from this ice princess of a teenager to this slightly goofy, even dorky, but nevertheless lovable young woman. That and the fact that her and I can spend time discussing shoulder injuries.

4. Dominika Cibulkova. She's a shorty like me (I'm only 5'2") so I was sold the first time I saw her in early 2008. She's a scrambler but not a backboard, she's aggressively smart out there. I love her game, style, and the way she carries herself.

5. Lucie Safarova. Lefty. Idolized Lindsay. She had me at first sight back in 2005. She's streaky as hell, but has so much potential. She drives me nuts, but I still adore her. And she's got my on court fashion attire: too short Nike skirt to go along with her ever present thigh strapping. She's my crazy Lefty Czech!

Just missing the cut: The MIA Tatiana Golovin, The Hot Mess Anna Chakvetadze, The Other Hot Mess Alona Bondarenko, and my beloved Vera Zvonareva (we both keep stock in kleenexes since we're both cryers).
