The funny thing about this is that is really a huge compliment if people would stop and think about it. If she is really the 701st best tennis player in the world, that puts her in the 99.999999 percentile in the world. She is great.

Compare this to basketball- the best female basketball player right now is probably Taurasi. If we were playing a hypothetical pickup game with the world available- there are probably 10s of thousands of players I would pick over her. Every ex professional player and college player under the age of 50. Every current pro and college player and most of the current high school players. As well as all the foreign talent.
