Karolina Pliskova

The serve came first, everything else followed. Karolina Pliskova rode that flat, effortless delivery to a 2016 US Open final, beating Serena Williams in the semi-finals before losing in three sets to Angelique Kerber. The next July she became world No. 1 for eight weeks, the first Czech woman to hold the ranking and the sixth player to get there without a major. Her 17 career titles came on all three surfaces, but the slams kept slipping: four semi-finals, two finals, no trophy.

In 2021 she pushed Ashleigh Barty to a third set in the Wimbledon final. Tennis runs in the family: her identical twin Kristyna, two minutes older, played the tour alongside her, a left-hander to Karolina's right. Then an awkward landing at the 2024 US Open wrecked her left ankle, costing her two surgeries and more than a year, but she returned in early 2026, reached the third round of the Australian Open within weeks, and plays on at 34 with the ankle stiff and the serve intact.
