Your 2015 WTA Top 10 Plus Year-End Rankings Statistics

“the last three finishing in the Top 10 for a first time.”

would’ve thought both lucie and angelique would’ve been in the top 10 before. surprising.

hoping petra gets it together next year and that bencic continues to rise.

9/10 top 10 players have reached a slam final. That’s a great stat. That actually matches the men’s current top 10.

November 10th, 2015 at 11:07 am

and 4/10 have won a slam – i think that’s right?

how about on the men’s?
(fed, novak, andy, rafa, stan) 5/10 have won slams, and yep, based on the current top 10, they’ve all made a slam final except for gasquet, so 9/10

@jane – I think “the last three” refers to the last 3 in that sentence: Muguruza, Pennetta and Safarova

November 10th, 2015 at 11:43 am

Average age WTA top ten is 28.2 – even with Serena, Venus, and Flavia, it’s a younger av. age than ATP, but hopefully Bencic and Pliskova will make it into top 10 2016 list.

4 GS winners outside top 10 — still within top 30 — Azarenka, Ivanovic, Jankovic, and Stosur.

It’s been a long time since Tsonga and Berdych made a GS final — wonder if either of them, or Ferrer/Nishikori can do that again.

Jalep…FYI…Jankovic has never won a slam…but, Svetlana Kuznetsova has and she’s also in the top 30.

November 10th, 2015 at 12:42 pm

Oh thanks, SG1. Still 4 there.

November 10th, 2015 at 12:48 pm

Hope Eugenie can pull together a great 2016.

November 10th, 2015 at 12:53 pm

rz – thanks. shouldn’t post b.c. (i.e., before coffee). :)

jalep i hope the same re: genie, though i know she’s not popular.

November 10th, 2015 at 1:20 pm

I’ve had too many days off, jane. Fortunately I go back to work tomorrow.

Meanwhile, in spare time, did the average age of WTA top 50 = 25.32. Without the top 1-10, which includes Williams sisters and Pennetta, the av. age of 11-50 =24.6

I guess my point is that the top 10 WTA isn’t too representative of the top 50 av. age — Williams sisters and Pennetta throw it off. 28.2 = top 1-10 av. age; but, 24.6 = 11-50 av. age. A quick glance at names and ages of 51-100, only see a couple older than 30 — more younger than older. I don’t know, what my question today was: is the av. age of WTA aging like ATP?

Too cold and wet outside to ride my bike.

Hi Jalep hope you enjoyed your weekend with your friends ;)….

November 10th, 2015 at 3:07 pm

We went out and enjoyed good food and drink, Gypsy. And we were all still friends in the morning ;) We’re talking about another get-together around Christmas/New Years’

Thanks for asking. Hope your making good progress in your studies, Gypsy.

November 10th, 2015 at 3:16 pm

Jalep lol yeah not too bad regards the studying slow but getting there,glad you had a good time,hubby and i will be both working christmas most likely,but i dont mind as its a lovely atmosphere,and after all this is over we are going to renew our wedding vows and have whats called a handfasting,i dont know if youve heard of that?….

November 10th, 2015 at 3:27 pm

ATP top ten = 29.6 av. age. (this week)
WTA top ten = 28.2

ATP top 50 av. age = 27.84
WTA top 50 av. age = 25.32

ATP top 100 av. age = 27.5
WTA top 100 av. age = 24.9

November 10th, 2015 at 6:05 pm

GG, handfasting? What I think about is a scene in Braveheart. Is that right?

November 10th, 2015 at 6:08 pm

Jalep i did see Braveheart but it was many years ago so i cant remember too much about it,anyway its like a pagan wedding ceremony which is done outside performed by a high priest or priestess,you wear robes and have your hands tied together with a red ribbon,its not legal in the eyes of the law,but its a tradition in our worlds thats becoming more popular….

November 11th, 2015 at 12:43 pm

My favorite scene in Braveheart, Gypsy. Movie goes downhill from there though, imo.

Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XrsQp9BQZo

Sounds beautiful. I’ll be thinkin’ of you and your hubby. When are you having the ceremony?

You know, if courbon reads your post though, don’t you think he’ll be thinking about naked dancing? :D

November 11th, 2015 at 2:47 pm

Jalep thanks for the link,i remember the film now,that is quite similar to what we will be doing but with red ribbon,and there will be a crowd of people watching,and a big feast of food….

And Courbon(AHEM)yeah lol….

November 11th, 2015 at 3:01 pm

Your welcome. Well, think I’ve done my best. I’m outta here for a few days, Gypsy. London will be interesting. Honestly do think Rafa has as good a chance as ever there this year, considering his Asian Swing, Basel, Paris, and general attitude. And I wish him well – the final would be nice. Will be fun to finally see the who is in what groups.

cheers.

November 11th, 2015 at 4:19 pm

Cheers Jalep speak soon ;)….
