Re: ATP & WTA rankings
I'm fine with Badosa as #2.
Sabalenka at #2 bothered me - because no player beats her/him self more than she does.
I also think it's questionable that Raducanu's ranking is RISING, though she's not done anything to contribute toward that - it's simply that a few players above her have lost points.
In the end, though, all players are ranked where they should be, I suppose, and are deserving of the ranking they have, based on the current system.

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
If you can apply the power first...
But it would like like that, although she has losses to Kasatkina (no power there) and Bencic (medium power). I say her greatest asset is her speed and mobility. She flows on court.

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
I didn't realize they were counting two Indian Wells. It makes sense, just didn't occur to me. It'll be interesting to see how Paula does from here on out. I believe it's the first time in her career where she'll start defending major points. To me, she's been showing a bit more frustration on court these days then she did previously.
I like Paula a good deal. But I definitely don't think of her as a top 3 player right now. I think her results on paper probably come off much better if I hadn't watched most of the matches. I have a feeling if she wasn't winning so many of her more impressive wins in 3rd set tiebreaks, she'd feel different to me. Some of those are okay, but it's rarely a comprehensive win over someone more impressive for her. I can point to other player's having matches like that easier than I can for her. With Paula, it was basically IW last year where that happened, but almost nowhere else and still she won the title in a 3rd set tiebreak. There's probably a few too matches as well that I think she should've lost to younger players that didn't know how to close out a match, along with being surprised when she doesn't go in and get a straight set win over X player. Doesn't leave me thinking of her as a Top 3 player. That might come eventually.
It obviously didn't happen, but beating Aryna in straight sets today, even if it was a battle, but getting it done in straights, is the kind of thing that would likely start to change how I look at her in terms of ranking and as a threat.

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
It's difficult to make a strong argument for anyone at #2 right now. Maybe Krejcikova, but really only on the strength of her RG result...

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
Which also works the other way. You can make an argument for #2 for almost 5 different players. It is that close right now.

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
That Venus is so far down the list often makes me not care too much about the “weeks at number one” records. Especially when you look at who is above her

Re: ATP & WTA rankings
So, for the 20th century, we are on pace for one new #1 per year., especially if you count the century as beginning in the year 2001.
