The WTA has had computerized rankings for 47 years, and Iga Swiatek already ranks 15th in most weeks (not necessarily consecutive) at #1. Below is a quick copy/paste of the top 15: So, if Iga holds on for another year, she'll already be in the Top Ten for this category. I admit to being bad at...

I see lots of people complaining about how wide open the US open is, and i don't understand why, surely having lots of players that are at the skill level to win a grand slam is a good thing and i don't mean like Emma Raducanu, more like Osaka and Iga, those who have multiple or come close to...

Which full-time WTA players will win more majors among those who have already won a slam? Vote for everyone you think will do so.

Welcome to SW19 2022 WTA edition.

Removing her Wimbledon points months before ITF and WTA decided to do it themselves. What a legend.

I love how she still uses her same Prince *string damper*. Technifibre will design & build a whole new production frame for her ... but she won't swap dampers. Pretty neat. /Acey

Welcome to the second of Sunshine States minislams, Some very interesting matchups are coming up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Miami_Open_–_Women%27s_singles Who do you think is going to win? Poll is here.

Here it follows a list of the best Top5 WTA players at the moment and another list of the Top10 in Women's history: BEST PLAYERS OF THE PRESENT (52-weeks): 1. Ash Barty 2. Gab Muguruza 3. Naomi Osaka 4. Ary Sabalenka 5. Paula Badosa GREATEST PLAYERS OF ALL TIME (last 140 years): 1. Steffi G...

why

I was watching the Tsitsipas match. In the second set, tied 4-4. Tennis channel switched to show a women’s match of lower ranked players. Tsitsipas, #5 in the world who has a chance of winning the entire thing is being pushed aside for a women’s match with players who are not even top 20, one of...

She demolished the top seed in the final: Often brilliant, not only aggressive. It has served Sorana well to eat side by side with me, in a "Beautiful" restaurant by a lake in Bucharest a couple of years ago :)

Thought this was fascinating to watch — former WTA player Julia Efremova raising her children to be competitive tennis players. She was also recently featured on the Functional Tennis Podcast. I can't tell if I'm impressed by what it takes at such a young age to become great, or terrified for...

My picks is Bandereescu in 3 sets, because Bianca is a big matches player. What are your predictions? :)

https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2077588/wta-announces-ranking-system-adjustments Good news: Points from tournaments played in 2020 other than the usual date (RG or Rome) will be valid for 52 weeks, except situation, when the tennis player achieves a better result in 2021 edition. Iga Swiatek...

If this has already been done, I apologize, but even if it was, here's a chance to try again. I have not yet refined my own projections, and hope to do so at some point -- if only to look back in November, 2021 and see how bad they were. My hope is that this will be an argument-free thread...

...advancing further than (among others) Serena or Vika? I'm not complaining - though not thrilled SW had to withdraw - as it's nice to see Genie have some success again.

It's a report that was easy to expect, but WTA foolishly thought that its tournaments in China could take place, at least some of them, despite China's announcement that no international sporting event would take place on its territory in 2020. For WTA, canceling Chinese tournaments means a big...

Well it's here, she's officially 40 today. Queen. Legend :cool:

Belgian tennis player Alison van Uytvanck mistaked published a new women's circuit calendar on Twitter. Although she deleted it after a short while, the new work calendar began to spread rapidly on social networks. This new calendar expects to actually start playing in early August...

I'm curious about some of the ways in which racquets (tend to) differ between tours. I'd imagine ATP players generally use heavier racquets w/ higher swingweights, but are there other key differences? Is my assumption about weight even correct? Would love specific player examples, too

Yes or no? I'm intentionally not including her career accomplishments in this post because I'm curious about your answers based on what you currently think/know about her.

Defending champion: Bianca Andreescu (will not defend the title due to an ongoing knee injury) Former IW champions, who will participating in the 2020 edition: Serena Williams (1999, 2001), Kim Clijsters (2003, 2005), Naomi Osaka (2018) Official website: http://www.bnpparibasopen.com/...

I seen RPM Blast and ALU Power are the most used strings in the professional circuit. I heard people claiming there is nothing special about them just marketing. Other claim they are the best strings. How come they are the most used string to date in the professional tour? Or am I wrong? Is...

I was wondering if there is a maximum weight allowed on tour as there is a maximum racquet length allowed on tour (29 inch). I just want to know if maximum weight is regulated by some one on the WTA, ATP or ITF tour. Thanks.
