I was dreaming when I wrote this. Forgive me if it goes astray….
Hey Jon! In response to Shayne Hull's Mailbag question about the greatest player never to have won a tournament, Anna Kournikova immediately comes to mind. Also as far as youth still coming into their own and not yet having won a tournament, remember Steffi Graf rose to #3 before she finally won her first title. That turned out to be a pretty good career!

• I’ve always felt that this was the dirty secret about Anna Kournikova: because she was such a draw and such a publicity magnet, she was required by the WTA to play the top events and was given playing obligations disproportionate with her ranking.
