An "international panel of tennis experts" determined this ranking of 62 men and 38 women.[1] The United States was credited with the most great players (38), followed by Australia (17), France (7) and Great Britain (6). Forty-three players made the list from the Americas, 39 from Europe and 18 from Oceania.
