are they, really, the 8 best? Rybakina?
anyway, even if they are, one can be much better than the rest, cant they? Non Sequitur !!

They were the 8 best this year. But I'd still take Osaka over some of them. Maybe even in her current form. I really hope Osaka recommits to tennis full time. It kills me that a superstar is on the sidelines. Tennis needs her.
Oh, sure. If you look at the numbers, Iga more than doubles in points the #2 player, Ons. Maybe she is really on her way to becoming a double digits Slam winner.
I just google "NAME results" and they come up in a timeline format at the top that's very easy to flip through. Rybakina is 12-8 since Wimbledon, but she has lost five times to eventual title winners (one was a final). Probably would help if she had Wimbledon points and was seeded at more tournaments.

But we said that about Naomi a couple of years ago, and we have seen what happened.
My only disagreement with you is your 90% vs my 60%. But I expect her to win, too.
About Rybakina. For some reason, the WTA site is not showing her match-history right now. And yes, I know she won Wimbledon. But she has not done much more since.
Anyway, we know we usually disagree about the rankings
I had that impression, too, then I looked at her results and at least on paper they weren't bad. Surprised she lost a final to Siniakova, though.
Point granted. The AELTC really screwed up with that decision to ban Russians and Belarusians. And it spilled from there.
I didn't go that way because I didn't want to recalculate everyone's points with Wimbledon results. With a quick glance, I think Rybakina would still be #4, though. Currently, #4 is Gauff and she would only add 90 points, so Rybakina would still be above her with W points.
Maybe add their 2021 points for a gauge. But they made the top 8 anyway. Rybakina didn't. Kudermatova was the other one who might have gotten screwed by not having any Wimbledon points, since she was only defending 10 points and just missed out on the Top 8.
