This looked like it was going to be the one for Caroline Wozniacki. It really did.

Having cruised in her first five matches and a favorable semifinal matchup against No. 9-ranked Li Na, Wozniacki was just two wins away from capturing her first Grand Slam title at this year's Australian Open.

But then, just like it it has so many times before, it all fell apart for the 20-year-old Wozniacki.

Having match point in her favor, needing just one final ace to put the match away and reach the final, Wozniacki could not hold her serve and she allowed Ni to come back and eventually win the match 3-6, 7-5, 6-3.

Wozniacki's No. 1 world ranking has been publicly scrutinized since the second she earned the title. She won six WTA titles in 2010, more than any other woman on the tour, but again, she has yet to win a major Grand Slam tournament.

The verdict is still out there on Wozniacki as to whether she is as good as she is hyped up to be. Is she the next Anna Kournikova, a female player who receives a ton of attention and is extremely well known in the women's tennis world, but doesn't quite have the resume to back up all the gratitude surrounding her? Or is Wozniacki truly worthy of the title "top women's tennis player in the world?"

Let's break this down and figure out if Caroline Wozniacki is a legitimate No. 1?
