Top Ten Ranking

[ON THE ROAD]

Other than Chris Evert and Billie Jean King which other American player was ranked in the top ten at the end of 1975, which was the first year of rankings in womens tennis? I have not been able to find websites or books that show the top ten only the number ones for each year. Can anyone please help. Thanks

Martina Navtravilova (sp!) became a US citizen in '81
Her perhaps?

[sueinsunnyspain]

Would it be Tracy Austin?

Just too young sue
She got to number 1, briefly in 1980

[sueinsunnyspain]

On second thoughts, Tracy Austin was post 1975 so it's not her.

[sueinsunnyspain]

How about Rosie Casals?

I thought her too, but last ratings I can find is for 1974 when she was number 3

After that, I can't see anything more although she was playing till around '88

Thanks everyone for your help I realised as soon as I'd sent it that I'd put it in the wrong section, but you got the answer in the end. Many thanks
