2006 WTA Tour top 10

rankings as of April 9, 2006

1. Martina Hingis (25, SUI) – the queen is finally back to reclaim her throne.

2. Anastasia Myskina (12, RUS) – the Russian czarina has to settle for second spot this year.

3. Justine Henin-Hardenne (3, BEL) – she’s getting flak for quitting the Australian Open finals, but I still admire her because she could slug it out with the best of them despite her diminutive frame.

4. Kim Clijsters (2, BEL) – there’s more to Belgium than chocolate (what?).

5. Daniela Hantuchova (15, SVK) – she came out at the time when Anna Kournikova was getting headlines for being a looker. Guess who between the two is still active in the tour.

6. Svetlana Kuznetsova (10, RUS) – there should be one other Russian other than Myskina and Sharapova in my list though I wouldn’t mind putting all of them here as long as they are below the Swiss Miss.

7. Maria Sharapova (4, RUS) – what is a list of the women’s tour without Maria?

8. Lindsay Davenport (5, USA) – at least neither of the Williams sisters made the list.

9. Sania Mirza (39, IND) – the hotshot newcomer. And she comes from a former British colony where they play with wickets instead of rackets.

10. Ai Sugiyama (22, JPN) – token Asian here.
