Alcaraz will be #1 again tomorrow after winning the title at Queen's.
He will, but a top player with two straight Slam titles is still someone else.
Aha. And holder of 3 out of the four.

Osta has 6 now...
Kvitova had 31 now.
Best player ever not to be ranked No. 1, or No. 2 GOAT.

Of course, Navratilova had 167 singles titles and 177 in doubles! I can't even get my head around such numbers!!
Like, how you could even lay that many tournaments. Did she have a 90% winning percentage for events entered? Or just a super long career?
As stated above, 20 years of winning, and a stretch down there of about 6 years in which it was at least 10 tournaments a year.
No "Load Management" for Miss Navratilova. Not one bit.

Am (pleasantly) surprised Svitolina has 17..I never thought of her as a major player .! Equally surprised Bencic only has 8..would have guessed 12 or more .

Didn't know she was never #1 ! One more proof point that rankings don't tell us much.

I know. I was going by "never to be ranked #1".
If we go just by "best #2 ever", then, indeed, Petra may have a word.

Absolutely. I think this is a temporary return to #1. Say, until July 17.
