WTA Top Tennis Nations 2010 - #3 USA

 Well, I wouldn't blame people if when they think of US women's tennis as the bulwark of Serena and Venus Williams.  For more than a decade now, they have carried the torch for the country.  This year, they end the year at #4 and #5 respectively, and they are always serious contenders during Grand Slams. 

However, interestingly, there is more to US women's tennis, than these two superstars, since in my book, the US is the third strongest country in women's tennis, with seven players in the Top 100.  Yes, there are five more women outside the Top 10 who should be taking the place of the Williams sisters soon.

They are Bethanie Mattek-Sands (#58), Melanie Oudin (#61), Varvara Lepchenko (#74), Vania King (#86) and Jill Craybas (#98).
