ATP & WTA rankings

Indeed 2019 - sorry.

I think Leylah officially 'turned pro' in the late summer/fall of 2019 - so maybe once that occurs, the player is removed altogether from the Junior rankings? That might explain Leylah not being in the year-end rankings that year.
I don't know if Tauson also officially turned pro around that same time.

[Suliso]

That indeed might be the correct explanation.

Noticed in the context of Laver cup that the entire ATP top 10 is European there as for women it's only 7/10. It could realistically end as 9/10 by the end of the year, though.

It is the problem with the cup. The original idea was alright, but the balance of power is too extreme in favor of Europe. South America is not producing any top players (Diego is NOT a top player), Africa's sole representative is Harris, who is good but not great, and there is nobody from Asia (NIshikori remains the sole good player from there) and the USA is definitely down. Canada, with FAA and Shapo is doing well, but still a peg or two below the European standard. Australia is also not producing.
A good idea in a bad era. It is too skewed.

[Suliso]

Sure, but it needn't stay that way forever. Once upon time US and Australia dominated Davis Cup. It will take some time, though. From the immediate upcoming generation only FAA and Shapovalov are not from Europe.

If they did make Navratilova cup or equivalent it would be far more equally balanced.

Maria Sakkari will be making her top 10 debut Monday. Deservedly so I say.

It's true that Lenin hasn't been active for a long time...
But his influence remains.

[Suliso]

Osaka out of the top ten in a week (no higher than #12) and will be replaced by Bencic regardless of this week's results.

Twitter doesn't allow editing of Tweets but I laughed at that too.

Twitter doesn't allow editing of Tweets but I laughed at that too.

People have been begging for edits since the beginning of time, have come up with great ideas that stay true to the brand while letting small things like that get corrected, but Twitter continues to ignore any and all suggestions as they roll out unwanted updates in favor of the most requested feature in their history.

Q: How many players ranked 101-200 have been in the top 100 before.
A: WTA 45, ATP 46

[Suliso]

Hubert Hurkacz will make his top 10 debut next Monday.

[ponchi101]

Jabeur too. Good for her.

I understand Roger will be exiting the Top 10 Monday
