The nowdays most sucessful german player, Barbara Rittner, gave an interview
for the german magazine "Sport Bild", where she said something interesting:

Rittner: If you look at the wta world ranking you can devide it into three
categories. The Williams-brothers, Capriati, Seles, Davenport and Hingis are
the glorious six, they just play in a different league than the others.
Next are Clijsters, DOKIC, Henin, Hantuchova and Dementieva, the young and
wild ones, the only players who have a change to beat the top six, but they
need more consistance. Underneath them everyone can beat everyone......

Sport Bild: How do you feel if you play vs. Venus or Serena?
Rittner: Sometimes I practise with male professionals. On the end of a
training-session I always tell them to play with "full power". Thats the
same feeling as if you play the Williams-sisters......
