My guess is that they must all be quite recent, due to the rise in potential winnings, unless they won an awful lot of stuff back in the day. So ten names, split by 'old' and 'current';

Old.

Steffi Graf
Martina Navratilova
Martina Hingis
Lindsay Davenport

Current.

Venus Wiliams
Serena Williams
Maria Sharapova
Azarenka
Caroline Wozniaki
Radwanska

ETA: Too slow!

I'll guess, despite sports not being my thing:

Venus Williams
Serena Williams
Maria Sharapova
Steffi Graf
Martina Navratilova
Martina Hingis

ETA: fast crowd!

I have no idea on winnings.

Wow! You know your tennis stars! You have clearly blown away this quiz! Take it away!

#10 in case you still want to guess
Spoiler:
Arantxa Sánchez Vicario


Winnings in case you want to guess.
Spoiler:
Winnings range from 16 million (#10) to 38 million (Serena just set the new record)

I like my tennis, but I'm surprised I did that well. I was pretty sure about the top five, after that I went with who was winning the slams.

I'm surprised Hingis was actually in the top-ten, but figured no one else was consistent enough or winning the bigger titles to be in the top ten.

No way I would have guessed Vicraio and I'm pretty surprised that Seles wasn't in the top ten.

Let's stick with tennis and name the top ten all-time money winners...

GO!

Never in a month of Sundays would I have guessed Kafelnikov!

A fairly quick one then just before I toddle off to my 3:00 meeting;

In the list of top ten earning* sportsmen for the year to June 2012, there are six sports represented - name them please?

* In this case, earnings is not limited to winnings. It includes other earnings (e.g. sponsorships) as well.

Yes to golf and tennis. Basketball is right, but too late. Which football do you mean?

What is 'European Football'?

The other two are both correct.
