Anna was ranked number 12 by the WTA rankings on August 18, 2010, which would make her one of the top women players in the world today if it weren’t for Serena Williams, who still reigns number one.
In the beginning, Chakvetadze’s best records were reaching two semifinals at Fes, Morocco, and Osaka, but her true success came after she won the tournament in Birmingham, Great Britain, by beating Jelena Janković, where she earned 80 ranking points that would put her number 10 if it weren’t for Williams still being number one.
