The Top 101 Male and Female Tennis Players of the Open Era

.
This site already has various top 20 lists, but to extend the mania (and because there isn't much else to do between Slams ), I have created top 101 lists for male and female tennis players of the open era. The lists are based on Grand Slam results, but make various adjustments, for example:

• players who excelled at the poorly attended Australian Open 1975-82 are ranked lower than they would otherwise be (e.g., Kriek, Denton, O'Neill, Barbara Jordan),
• players who suceeded almost exlusively on one surface only also get downgraded (e.g., Kuerten, Bruguera),
• and for players who had a substantial part of their careers before the open era, I tried to assess their entire careers (e.g., Laver, Rosewall, Court, Haydon-Jones).

Ray Emerson, Pancho Gonzales, Fred Stolle, Maria Bueno and Leslie Bowrey are not listed, as they had basically all their major successes before the open era.

Admittedly, the difference between, say, the #78 and #80 may be hard to tell -- but overall I believe these are pretty consistent rankings.
