The WTA has had a host of great players over the years. However, they are yet to be ranked accordingly. However, Tunisian ace Ons Jabeur challenged herself with the interesting Blind Ranking Challenge of WTA retired players.

In a video posted on social media, the World No. 9 was ready to go for the challenge, as she seems to have quite a bit of knowledge about WTA former players.

For the Top 10 ranking, Jabeur began by ranking Italian former player Francesca Schiavone in the seventh position. Schiavone was the first Italian woman to ever win a Grand Slam title in 2011 at the Roland Garros.

Australian Ashleigh Barty was next in line. Barty, who won three Grand Slams during her illustrious but short career, also became World No. 1. Jabeur placed her, surprisingly, in the No. 2 position. But Maria Sharapova, who won five major titles, was placed third by the Tunisian, leaving the No. 1 position hanging.

The 29-year-old then placed Swiss legend Martina Hingis in fourth position. Hingis was the first Swiss to ever win a Grand Slam and attain World No. 1. Belgian legend Kim Clijsters was placed in fifth position. Clijsters held the doubles and singles No.1 position simultaneously in 2003. First Chinese Grand Slam winner Li Na, was placed in sixth position.

Serbian Ana Ivanovic was placed in the No. 8 position. The Serbian who won one major title was above Italian Flavia Pennetta, who won her maiden Grand Slam at the age of 33, announcing her retirement during the award ceremony. Samantha Stosur was placed in the 10th position.

Oh, I like Francesca (Schiavone), I would say seven. I go for two (Ashleigh Barty). (Maria Sharapova) I put her in three. Martina (Hingis), I go four. I like Ana (Ivanovic), I go for eight. Flavia (Pennetta), I go nine I don't know what's going to happen, sorry Flavia. Oh, I love Kim (Clijsters) I go five. (Li Na), I go six. (Serena Williams) I go one. (Samantha Stosur) I go ten and sorry Stoseur.
Ons Jabeur said.

Meanwhile, Jabeur will be hoping for a good clay season after a poor run from January to March that saw her win only two matches.

Jabeur was hoping to continue in her fine form after winning three consecutive matches for the first this year in Madrid. American Sofia Kenin will face either qualifier Rebecca Sramkova or British Katie Boulter in the third round.
