ATP & WTA rankings

Number 1 is in play at the Australian Open with Sabalenka, Swiatek, and Gauff all having a chance to leave Australia with the top ranking.

Sabalenka is most likely to retain #1 in the form that she is currently in, although her goalpost moves farther back the more matches that Swiatek wins.

Swiatek is defending the least amount of points and only needs to reach the 3rd round to knock Coco out of contention. That would also mean Sabalenka would need to reach the semifinals to retain her ranking. If Swiatek also reaches the semis, Sabalenka would need to make the final. If they both make the final, whoever wins takes #1.

Gauff's chance is miniscule, but possible. She would need to win the title, have Sabalenka lose before the semifinals, and Swiatek to lose before the 3rd round.

With Tsitsipas, and Dimitrov losing early it looks like there will be no top 10 players with a one-handed backhand again on the ATP side. Musetti has a chance, but would have to make the semis.

The stroke is too difficult to learn at a young age. You just don't have the strength.
You would need to be taught a two handed BH with a western BH grip on the dominant hand, and later on in your development be taught to let go of the non-dominant hand. And that is too complicated.
