Angelique Kerber
Lefty counterpuncher, three majors and number one in 2016
Overview
The German lefty won the 2016 Australian Open over Serena, Wimbledon 2016 and Wimbledon 2018, rising to world number one in 2016 after reaching three major finals that year. Her defensive genius and flat hitting made her a nightmarish matchup for power players. She returned to the tour after maternity leave in 2024.
