Found the clip--it's just one douchey guy, and it's from The Apprentice, of course

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
Anna comes off as being nice and affable. But then, so does McEnroe.
Not that it was staged that way or anything, of course .
That 4 minutes was the only 4 minutes I've ever watched of that show...

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
Gauff is the youngest WTA player to reach the top 25 since Nicole Vaidisova in 2005

Maybe they shouldn't make a comparison between Gauff and Vaidisova?

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
Who is the youngest female player to make it into the top 10 - if only briefly?
Tracy Austin? Andrea Jaeger? Carling Bassett? Someone else whom I'm forgetting at the moment?
I don't think Kathy Rinaldi ever made it into the top 10, did she?

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
I knew I was forgetting a well known player!
Capriati's 'Wikipedia' says she was the youngest player to reach the top 10 - at "14 years, 235 days in October of 1990".
I don't imagine anyone has entered the top 10 at a younger age since then, as there have been significantly fewer kids on tour since then.
Kathy Rinaldi was 14 when she came on the tour, and I believe she was said to be the youngest ever on the tour to that point. I just checked, and she did actually make it to #7 in the world - but she was an old lady of 19 at the time.
I believe Carling Bassett was the youngest at the time to reach a WTA Final in 1983 (Amelia Island, I think) at age 15 - vs. Chris Evert.

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
Hingis was 15 when she won Wimbledon and just turned 16 when she got to the top 10, I believe

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
Ooops, of course, too early in the morning for me. She was 15 when she won the doubles at Wimbledon, then was ranked in the top 10 after turning 16, THEN won the Australian at 16.

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
What happens with RG points from 2020? Are they getting replaced with 2021 points even though it hasn't been a year? Just replacement of the same tournament played or is there some acknowledgment that they typically work on a 52 week schedule and 2020 RG was within the last 52 weeks?

According to the WTA website, the following applies:JazzNU wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 4:37 pm What happens with RG points from 2020?

If the event was rescheduled outside of four weeks of the normal tournament date – Roland Garros, Rome, Istanbul and Strasbourg – the following applies:
- 2019 points will drop off after 104 weeks
- 2020 points will stay on for 52 weeks if the points earned are better than the 2021 results or the player does not compete at the event in 2021
- In the event that 2020 points are used, they will drop off after 52 weeks, being replaced by the 2021 points
