With Coco's RG win, a look at slam standings (and ages) among active WTA players

[RaulRamirez]

Congrats to Coco Gauff for her thrilling comeback victory over Aryna Sabalenka. As we all know, sometimes sports achievements/championships hinge on small margins. Going into this final and after the first set, most expected Saba to notch her fourth slam -- right behind Iga (5) and with all the momentum. Now, Coco has won her second slam and is just one behind Saba.

Here are (please forgive any mistakes) active players (I didn't include Venus Williams, who has 7,or Halep, who I believe retired) who have won at least one - and their age(s).

Swiatek -- 5 (age 24)
Osaka -- 4 (27)
Sabalenka -3 (27)
Gauff - 2 (21)

Others with 2: Krejcikova (29); Azarenka (35); Kvitova (35)

Single Slam Winners: Raducanu (22); Andreescu (24); Rybakina (25); Vondrousova (25); Kenin (26);
Ostapenko (27); Keys (30); Stephens (32).

Thoughts? Observations or Projections?

90s-born women have done a much better job at the slams than 90s-born men.

Most of these players will never win a slam again

You never know, of course, as Madi Keys was a (delightful) surprise.
I'm not a betting man, but I would think about wagering that Swiatek, Sabalenka, Gauff and Rybakina are likely to win more, and I think Andreeva will break through before too long and win several. Others? I just don't know -- whether because of age, health or others seeming to have passed them by.

Probably Swiatek, Sabalenka, and Gauff. Maybe Rybakina. Still less than 50%
