ATP & WTA rankings

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.

Maybe should be an annual exercise .
No. Of wta titles won
(Not counting Venus with 49)

Kvitova 30
Halep 24
Sabalenka 19
Swiatek 14
Garcia 11
Bencic 8
Osaka 7
Krejcikova 6
Rybakina 5
Ostapenko 5
Jabeur 4
Samsonova 4
Alexandrova 4
Andreescu 3
Gauff 3
Badosa 3
Pegula 2
Sakkari 1
Muchova 1

Certainly gives a perspective...

Svitolina recently won her title #17 in Strasbourg.
Pliskova also did not retire yet. And she has 16
Pavlyuchenkova has 12

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.

I knew I had forgotten a bunch of people!

[ashkor87]

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 .

[ashkor87]

Osta has 6 now...

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

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

Hana Mandlikova would like to have a word with you

WELL. How NICE of you to remember Kvitova FINALLY!!!!!....

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.

Bencic had a bunch of years lost to injury.

[skatingfan]

He will, but a top player with two straight Slam titles is still someone else.

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