France's Amelie Mauresmo showed her Australian Open win over Justine Henin-Hardenne was no fluke. The win catapulted the player once thought too shaky to win big tournaments into the top 20 of the all-time list of women's tennis players in the Open era.
Henin-Hardenne is just 1-for-3 in major finals this year but it's still equaled enough points to push her past Lindsay Davenport for 13th place.
The Open era really has been dominated by a small group of players. Look at the gap between No. 14 and No. 15.
