#2 Maria Esther Bueno
The greatest female tennis player from South America, Maria Esther Bueno was one of the top players in the late 1950's and 1960's.
Bueno was the year-end number-one ranked female player in 1959 and 1960. An incredible serve and volley player, she packed a powerful game and could hit her opponents off the court.
Bueno is the first non American woman to win both the Wimbledon and US Open Championships in the same year.
Another remarkable stat pertaining to her tennis career is that she was the first ever woman to win the 'Calendar Grand Slam' in Doubles category. She achieved this feat in 1960.
Having won Wimbledon thrice and the US Open on four different occasions, Bueno was desperately unlucky to have not won the other two Grand Slam titles. In the final of the 1965 Australian Open, Bueno took the first set against Margaret Court Smith but got injured during the match and was forced to retire midway.
