Next, SI.com's experts craft their ideal women's player.

Jon Wertheim

Serve: Venus Williams
Still clocking, especially when it matters.

Return game: Vera Zvonareva
A key to her late-career surge.

Forehand: Ana Ivanovic
When she's getting it in the court -- which fortunately has occurred lately -- it's as good as any this side of Serena (whom we're saving).

Backhand: Justine Henin
We're still suckers for beauty.

Net Play: Samantha Stosur
Such an agile athlete. Just wish she'd get there more often.

Fitness: Francesca Schiavone
Even at her age, she'll win matches simply by being in superior shape.

Footwork: Kim Clijsters
Always a terrific mover -- and childbirth did nothing to impede her locomotion.

Mental Toughness: Serena Williams
Not even close.

S.L. Price

Serve: Serena Williams
Serena's accurate and overpowering.

Return game: Caroline Wozniacki
The counterpuncher's main punch, without it she wouldn't be in the top five.

Forehand: Samantha Stosur
Samantha's stinger gets the job done.

Backhand: Venus Williams
Henin's would be here normally, but her head is her best weapon.

Net Play: Francesca Schiavone
Francesca's is a marvel of skill, whimsy and imagination.

Fitness: Kim Clijsters
Clijsters, still, looks like she can run forever.

Footwork: Jelena Jankovic
At her best Jankovic floats like a dancer.

Mental Toughness: Justine Henin
Without it, she wouldn't be half the player she is.

Bruce Jenkins

Serve: Serena Williams
Stronger, more accurate and more intimidating than anyone else's on tour.

Return game: Venus Williams
Still one of the tour's best athletes, and it shows here.

Forehand: Samantha Stosur
Gets the max out of that chiseled right arm.

Backhand: Justine Henin
Her lingering elbow injury is disturbing, but nobody disputes that form.

Net Play: Francesca Schiavone
So elegant and creative, so far removed from baseline tedium.

Fitness: Caroline Wozniacki
There's a reason she played more often, at the elite level, than anyone else on tour.

Footwork: Kim Clijsters
Always set to deliver a bullet, from either side.

Mental Toughness: Maria Sharapova
Big-time fighter in a field of sheep.

Richard Deitsch

Serve: Venus Williams
Sister Serena has one of the best serves of all time but Venus can still crank it up when healthy.

Return game: Victoria Azarenka
Belrussian has great instincts and keeps getting better.

Forehand: Kim Clijsters
Momma's forehand is one of the most powerful in history.

Backhand: Justine Henin
Her one-hander is the Kandinsky of the sport.

Net Play: Francesca Schiavone
Flamboyant Italian has McEnroe-like skills at net.

Fitness: Samantha Stosur
Get ready for the gun show: This Aussie is chiseled.

Footwork: Caroline Wozniacki
The Dane is beautiful to watch on the run.

Mental Toughness: Serena Williams
The toughest player in tennis, male of female.

Bryan Armen Graham

Serve: Venus Williams
Serena has grown more consistent, but Vee still has fastest serve in history.

Return game: Victoria Azarenka
Ability to retreive every ball seems immunte to mental frailties that crop up in other facets.

Forehand: Samantha Stosur
Which way to the gun show? Credit coach David Taylor for harnessing the latent talent in Sam's pythons.

Backhand: Kim Clijsters
Henin's is sublime, but I worry about her elbow; Clijsters' two-handed version is a hammer.

Net Play: Francesca Schiavone
Her charmed 2010 season was a triumph for tennis aesthetes; creative, stylish net play that belongs in the Uffizi.

Fitness: Caroline Wozniacki
No one played more matches on tour in 2009 and '10. That's not an accident.

Footwork: Justine Henin
Superlative balance, court coverage, tactics and ability to shift from defense to offense seamlessly.

Mental Toughness: Serena Williams
The Everest of the women's tour.

Andrew Lawrence

Serve: Serena Williams
It isn't just the WTA's most powerful and accurate, but it's also the most consistent.

Return game: Jelena Jankovic
Good luck passing this 5-foot-9 condor -- especially when she's doing splits.

Forehand: Venus Williams
Even more incredible than her Plasticman range is her Hulk-like force.

Backhand: Francesca Schiavone
As Italian gesticulations go, this is my favorite.

Net Play: Cara Black
If her touch with Liesel Huber were as soft as it is inside the service line, maybe they'd still be partners?

Fitness: Justine Henin
Now that Dementieva's gone, she takes the pound-for-pound crown.

Footwork: Maria Sharapova
It ain't the prettiest, but it rarely fails to get her in position to lash that massive forehand.

Mental Toughness: Kim Clijsters
For as much as Mommy Dearest seems to have on her mind, it never impedes her game.
