Very clearly the #3 of the decade. I've got mixed feelings here. I loved watching her emerge seeming to win all the tough matches, but the end of her career is filled with questions.
Lindsay's a breath of fresh air. She's the first person on this list who you can really believe accomplished all she was capable of. If the decade coincided better with her peak, she'd surpass all but the top 3.
She was on the track to be the greatest ever, but it didn't end up that way. I think that no matter what, it's clear that Serena had more talent than her. And I think that despite the injuries she could have done more if she'd have been able to accept struggling for her accomplishments. But she remains stellar nonetheless.
This decade saw the emergence of the Russians. Sharapova was the clear shooting star of the group, but Svetlana has done very well for herself. Winning two slams puts one in an absolutely elite class.
