The No. 1 ranking has changed quite a few hands this year already on the women's circuit and on Sunday, it was taken over by Serbian Jelena Jankovic. It has been an eventful year for the 23-year-old Serb player, who is now aiming for her first Grand Slam crown. Jankovic won the Porsche Grand Prix trophy defeating Nadia Petrova of Russia 6-4, 6-3 in the final in Stuttgart on Sunday. The win at Stuttgart was Jankovic second title in two weeks.
Serena is one of only six women to win nine or more Slams in the Open era.
