Seems like a steep drop between 9 and 10 for men.

Hewitt was great for a couple of years as a 20 and 21-year-old, but was on downward path pretty quickly.

... Lleyton Hewitt?!?!?!?

With all due respect, Hewitt there feels like a Top-8 Goaltending list featuring Ed Belfour, in that Both players are better than what they're generally remembered as, but ranking them so high is just swinging the pendulum the other way around.

Rod Laver is missing, so no. To me, he did enough in the Open Era to qualify retroactively here.

I guess you can make a case for Boris Becker and Andy Murray not looking so bad in that group.
