Can you see the emergence that is happening in front of our eyes?

All 3 are slam champs now. They have separated themselves from rest of the pack. Exciting times for the WTA.

Choose your fighter.
 
It's perhaps a bit too soon to tell IMO, we shall see what happens during the clay season, but all I know is there is a lot of WTA threads on the first page right now, and the Indian Wells WTA threads almost has as many posts as the ATP one, something is happening !

I think the Clay season might give the impression that Swiatek is still at a level WELL ABOVE the other 2 because how dominant she is on that surface( she owns it), and where the other 2 have yet to find their feet. But I don't think that would necessarily give the full picture.

While I think Iga is the clear frontrunner, when you look at all the surfaces together, I don't see the gap between her, Elena, and Aryna, as very big.

Out of the 3, the one I worry about and who I think is the 'flimsiest' member here is Sabalenka. She has been inconsistent in the past and a little emotionally fragile. Is this currently a good form period for her or a true reflection of her level going forward? That we will have to wait and see.

something is happening !
The people are excited, especially about the possibility of endless new threads of arguments :).
 
I could swear Jabeur was in last year Wim and USO finals until she fell of the cliff due injuries /burnout.
With WTA nothing is certain for now long period of time. I'll rather wait at least until 2023 season is completed to see what will happen. Fruhvirtova girls are coming

Personally find Elena powerful game her calm presence on&off the court sight to behold, but from the 3 imo Sabalenka has most complete game, serve, FH, BH , net game
 
If Serena were still around, she’d quickly expose the current WTA level.

Same with ATP. Big 3 (now just Djokovic) shows you the relative level of the new men’s stars.

Do you mean Peak Serena? Sure. But Serena post Jan 2017 has been a shade of her former self. Just 1 title in her last 5 years on tour (Auckland Open where she beat Pegula) and many losses along the way to all sorts of mugs. I think the current Serena would get absolutely worked by these 3.
 
*big 4. Don't forget "Murray".

You know, joking aside, I can see Peak Raducanu being in the contention, very much like a 4th player to a Top 3. But poor girl can't stay fit. She is destined to be the next Del Potro methinks.

It's smart she lined up all her endorsements and struck while the iron was hot.

Please not shooing in a far inferior Brit to make a big 4
