You are right. Serbs are dominating. Especially on the womens side. Djokovic just won the Australian open, and he's got potential but has a lot to prove. Especially after retiring during the Davis cup match.
I like your posts.
Good job.

Good Point. I agree with you that serbian tennis is on the rise. But one correction at the risk of sounding pedantic.
Novak Djokovic will have an ATP ranking and not a WTA ranking of 3 like you have mentioned in your post. The WTA stands for the Womens Tennis Association ;)
