Caroline Wozniacki will top the WTA tennis rankings for the second consecutive year but that does not make her the best player in the world, according to former men's number one Mats Wilander.
The 21-year-old Dane failed to reach the semi-finals at the WTA Championships in Istanbul, after winning only one of her round robin matches. She continued her poor record at the biggest events and Wilander believes Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova is the natural heir to the throne.
Wilander says the ranking is the result of not necessarily being the best player in the world but of being the most consistent player in the world.
The Swede says Wozniacki is certainly not the best player in the world at her best, but at her worst she's probably the best player in the world compared to the others because her range is very narrow and very even.
Wozniacki's lack of success at the grand slams where her CV shows just one final, at the US Open in 2009, has raised many questions about her validity at the top.
Wilander, who won seven in his glittering career, questioned whether she has the mentality to triumph at the majors.
He says of the Dane who has 18 WTA titles to her name that she can win small tournaments but it's not known if mentally she can win the big ones.
