As a tennis journalist, it is worth noting that there have been only four players who have reached the pinnacle of the sport by holding the No. 1 ranking in the ATP or WTA, but have not managed to claim a major title. These players have reached the top of the mountain in terms of their ranking, but have not been able to conquer a Grand Slam tournament. The list, as of 2024, includes:
– Marcelo Rios
– Dinara Safina
– Jelena Jankovic
– Karolina Pliskova
