How about the USO champion? Believe WTA still count this as a title.

About Annet. I remember a couple of years ago, during our yearly predictions, I picked Annet as the one to have a breakthrough year. She did nothing, middling around the 30's. Then I wondered if she had it.
I guess she just needed some time. But she is no longer just a safe first day pick for the SP. Needless to say, I like that.

Fairly certain this list runs up to Wimbledon (though missing Samsonova), but doesn't include the rest of the year. Several first time winners missing from this list including Raducanu as mentioned by Patrick. For instance, Danielle Collins listed as a multiple title winner this year in an above post, those were her first two WTA titles. There were an unusually high number of first time winners this year.

Oh right... I should have looked more critically at the list I found. I'll correct later.

Oh, sure Stephanie. Let's have ONE male reporter ask a female player if she had menstrual-related issues. For sure nothing is going to happen to that man. Nothing.

Chris Evert talked about it once. She was playing Wade in (yes) Wightman Cup (all you youngsters can google it. ) and down something like 1-5 in the 3rd set and then came back because she (Evert) started menstruating.

Why I remember this I have no idea.

Martina flat out said she had her period after her loss against Mandlikova at the USO 1985.

Right.., every 36 years, someone mentions it. my friend and I talk about this, how it must affect players but it's too taboo to discuss. I certainly sympathize with male reporters - they wouldn't want to ask about it directly. Even female reporters might not, because it feels so private. I'm guessing the topic has different levels of sensitivity and taboo-ness between cultures, too.
