Tennis is a game for everyone! It's truly a great sport and one can can be played by children as small as 4 to adults as young as 104. With just a racquet and a ball (and a lot of practice) anyone with determination and skill can rise to the top and win such coveted tournaments as Wimbledon or even the Australian Open.

The Williams sisters have done an excellent job of contributing to this great game we love. As one of our famous women tennis players herself, Venus Williams has won 14 Grand Slam Tennis titles. She is the oldest of the two famous stars and her sister Serena has also achieved Number 1 status in the world during her career.

Other famous women tennis players include Maria Sharapova, who recently took the Australian Open Title in 2008. Known for her power on the baseline, Ms. Sharapova has strong forehand and double back hand shots. When her height, combined with her strength on the court, is matched with her agility, you can see why she has risen to the height of her career as one of the famous female tennis stars of the game.

As the currently ranked #1 tennis player in the world, Justine Henin, born in Belgium, has achieved stardom status with a whopping 7 Grand Slam titles.

Ms. Henin's style and variety of her tennis game has won her the accolades of her famous tennis star peers. Mental competitiveness is one such trait as she remains focused and attentive to her strategy and variety during her matches. Interestingly enough, she has a one hand back hand and is noted as having the best back hand in the game.

Tennis is an awesome sport and great for the famous women tennis players are an inspiration to all to particpate in learning and playing tennis!
