IntroductionA folktale tells of a group of old, blind scholars called upon to investigate an elephant. One, feeling its leg, said that an elephant is like a tree trunk. One, feeling its ears, compared it to a fan. The one who felt its tusks thought it like a very heavy spear.

So it is with any single measure of success: It can’t tell the whole story. A tennis player can earn a good won/lost record by being very good — or by signing up for a lot of very weak events. One may play only on her favorite surfaces, another may play a balanced schedule. To truly assess a player, you need more of a picture than won/lost or points earned. Hence this document. It’s an attempt to look at all these questions: What actually happened in 2002? Who really deserved to be #1? Was the best player on hardcourts also the best player on clay? Grass? Indoors?

The first of those questions, this year, is pretty obvious: Serena Williams was the best singles player out there. She tops just about every statistical list. Sister Venus was pretty definitely #2. But below that, things get strange. Last year seemed a year of chaos — until this year came along to top it. At least five players — Jennifer Capriati, Kim Clijsters, Lindsay Davenport, Martina Hingis, and Monica Seles — could lay a reasonable claim to being #3 in 2002. And the two who, under the WTA rankings, stand highest (Capriati and Clijsters) are in many ways the weakest of the five.

Then there is doubles. Paola Suarez is #1 — but at least two players (Serena Williams and Martina Hingis) were clearly more effective when they played.

So who should be the Top Ten? If we want to list which players were actually best (i.e. list the order in which they should be seeded in 2003), the author’s opinion is that the list in singles should be 1. Serena, 2. Venus, 3. Clijsters, 4. Hingis, 5. Davenport, 6. Capriati, 7. Seles, 8. Mauresmo, 9. Hénin, 10. Rubin. In doubles, the list would be 1. Hingis, 2. Serena, 3. Ruano Pascual, 4. Suarez, 5. Raymond, 6. Stubbs, 7. Kournikova, [8. Sanchez-Vicario — retired], 9. Husarova, 10. Hantuchova.

But that’s just my perspective. You need to see the elephant for yourself. Really, the point is not to assert opinions; it’s to show you all the things on which an opinion might be based. The Statistical Abstract can’t give you every twist on the data — but it gives you more than you’ll see anywhere else. As well as let you have some statistical fun as you look up, for instance, which WTA player played the absolute most events this year, or who played the most matches — or even who suffered the most from injuries.

A bit of terminology: This document will occasionally refer to “highlight players.” These are the players we’ve paid the most attention to in what follows. Highlight players in singles include every player to spend time in the Top 25, plus a handful of others (Kournikova, Krasnoroutskaya, Likhovtseva, Martinez, Pierce) whose past or anticipated future results make them seem worthy of attention. There are 46 highlight players (though some, especially Krasnoroutskaya, drop out of some of the statistical lists because they just stood too low in the standings), and they include every player to end the year in the Top 30.

NOTE: Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the data in this document, but it’s a lot of work; neither the author nor Tennis News can assume any responsibility for any errors or their interpretation.

Top Players Analysed

All the Players in the Top Ten in 2002:The Complete Top Ten Based on WTA (Best 17) Statistics

The lists below show all players who have ranked in the Top 10 in 2002, with the highest rank achieved (total of twelve players; in 2001, seventeen players spent part of the year in the Top Ten; there were sixteen Top Ten players in 2000). We note with interest the increased stability of the rankings in 2002.

The following list shows all the players who have occupied a given position in the Top 10: 1. Capriati, Davenport, S. Williams, V. Williams2. Capriati, Davenport, S. Williams, V. Williams3.

The Complete Top Ten under the 1996 Ranking System

This list shows all players who would have been in the Top 10 under the 1996 ranking system (total points divided by tournaments, minimum fourteen), with the highest ranking achieved. (For the list of the final Top 10 under this system, see the section on Alternate Rankings.)

Note that, although there are twelve players on both the WTA and Divisor ranking lists, they aren’t the same twelve. (Hantuchova made the WTA Top Ten but failed under the divisor; Rubin was Top Ten under the Divisor only.) This parallels the situation from 2001; as noted, there were seventeen players who spent time in the Top Ten, and though both the WTA and divisor lists produced seventeen players, they weren’t the same seventeen.

Ranking FluctuationThe table below shows how each of the top players ranked in the course of the year. The tennis season is divided into half-month sections, and players’ rankings listed for the specified days. This is followed by the mean (average), median, and standard deviation (indicating how much a player’s ranking varied in the course of the year. Thus Pierce, with a standard deviation of 90.3, showed the biggest fluctuation in the course of the year, while Venus, with standard deviations of 0.6, showed the least variation).

Note: Nathalie Tauziat, #13 at the end of 2001, did not play in 2002 but was retained on the WTA rankings because she did play doubles; Anke Huber, #18 at the end of 2001, was removed on February 4. Sandrine Testud retired after Wimbledon, ranked #11, and is shown in the above list because she did play in 2002.

Top Players Sorted by Median RankingThis table lists players in order of their median ranking — that is, the ranking they spent as much of the year above as below. This indicates their typical standing in the course of the year. It should be noted that this figure takes 2001 and 2002 results equally into account, since rankings at the beginning of the year were based entirely on 2001 results, while 2002 results were the sole influence by the end of the year.

Short Summary: The Top EightyThe following table shows the entire WTA Top Eighty, with brief summary of results. In the table, Final Rank is a player’s year-end ranking (based on the November 12, 2002 rankings), Player is of course the player, Score is her Best 17 point total, # ofTrn is the number of tournaments she played, Best Rank is her highest ranking during the year 2002, Won/Lost is won/lost record (in the notes to this field, Wi=Withdrawal, WO=walkover. So Davenport, for instance, won 62 matches, lost nine, withdrew from one, and received two walkovers). Note that this figure includes only WTA main draws. Many players will have losses in wins and losses in qualifying and/or Challengers; the highest-ranked of these was Hantuchova (for qualifying results) and Stevenson (for Challengers). Titles is the list of titles the player won, if any. We list the names (or abbreviations, for top players), then the number in parentheses. So Clijsters’s line, e.g., reads Ham, Fil, Lux, LAChamp (4). This means Clijsters won four titles — Hamburg, Filderstadt, Luxembourg, Los Angeles Championships. Players marked * are “highlight” players studied extensively below; those marked † by their number of tournaments have full results with comments on the accuracy of this data.

Tournament Results

Summary of Results for Top PlayersThe list below shows all the tournaments the top players played in 2002. For these purposes, any player who spent even one week of 2002 in the Top 25 is included; a handful of others have been listed because we thought they might be in the Top 25, and why delete them now?

To explain the data in the table: The numbers in parentheses list, first, the Tier of the tournament, second, how far the player went, and third, the number of wins achieved. This is followed by a list of top players beaten en route, with the player’s rank at the time. For example, the second item in the entry for Daja Bedanova reads Australian Open (Slam, R16/S. Williams [6], 3) — Dementieva (11). This means that Bedanova’s second tournament was the Australian Open. The “Slam” means that it was a Slam; if a Roman numeral is used, it refers to the tier of the event. R16/S. Williams means that Bedanova reached the Round of Sixteen, where she was beaten by Serena Williams, then ranked #6. The 3 indicates that she won three matches prior to that defeat. Players she defeated included Dementieva (then ranked #11). (Note: only wins over Top 35 players are listed.) If a description is in bold, it means the player won the title.

The WTA in its final ranking list showed Stevenson as having 26 events.

It appears “event #26” was being an alternate at the Los Angeles Championships!

Cheap Thrills and Tough Bills: Titles against Weak and Strong OppositionIt’s one thing to win a title. It’s another to win a title against major opposition. The lists below classify tournament wins based on the level of opposition the winner faced (note: for brevity, titles are listed only once. So a player who won without facing a Top Fifteen player also obviously won without facing a Top Ten player, etc.):Won Title Beating at Least Two Top Ten Players:

Tiers of Tournaments Played and Average Tier(Note: The Slams and Munich are treated mathematically as “Tier 0,” and Challengers as “Tier 8.” That is, in taking the mean, we assign 0 points for playing a Slam or Munich, 1 point for a Tier I, 2 for a Tier II, etc. The lower the mean and median strength, the tougher one’s schedule.)

The mean is, of course, the “average” Tier of tournament played, based on the above formula; the median is the middle tournament — i.e. as many stronger as weaker. In context, the latter statistic doesn’t mean much; effectively all top players have their median tournament somewhere around the Tier I/Tier II divide.

Looking at the results on the next page, we see that the Top Five in terms of strongest (highest average tier) schedules were Capriati, Serena Williams (these two really shouldn’t be allowed to play such a top-heavy schedule), Seles, Rubin, and Hingis; the weakest schedules were played by Montolio, Nagyova (who can be forgiven since their results fell off so badly), Sanchez-Vicario, Tanasugarn, and Daniilidou. The change since last year is most dramatic for Seles, who last year had one of the weakest schedules — but this year, she managed to be healthy for the Slams and injured for almost everything else. Apart from Capriati and Serena, there really weren’t many absurd schedules this year (a significant change).

Points Earned Week by WeekThe following table shows the week-by-week point totals earned by the Top Twenty Results due to winning events are bold.

Note: Stevenson’s score fore the week of June 16 includes two events, Birmingham and the Surbiton Challenger. Also, Stevenson’s points are in error — somewhere. The WTA changed her points after publishing the ranking list — and of course did not publish the change. It totals only about 3 points, so it doesn’t really affect much.

Alternate RankingsKnowing all the above, we can try calculating revised rankings. There are, of course, many ways of reshaping the ranking data. A typical way would be to use some of the WTA’s earlier ranking systems.

Total Points Ranking (1997 Ranking System)This ranking simply adds up the total points from all the tournaments a player played, whether the number of tournaments be 13 (for Serena Williams) or 31 (for Tatiana Panova). It is essentially the system used by the WTA in 1997 (except that there were minor differences in the way points were awarded at events)

Best 17 does not differ much from Total Points; we don’t see a change from the WTA rankings until we get to #13 (though the movement there is dramatic: Silvia Farina Elia moves up four places).

If Best 17 and Total Score rankings are almost identical, the same is not true when these systems are compared with the WTA’s 1996 ranking system, Points per Tournament (minimum 14). Here the rankings are completely different. Scores are rounded to the nearest tenth of a point.

Points Per Tournament, Minimum 14 (1996 Ranking System: “The Divisor”)

We see that this produces major changes; below the top three, who simply out-earned everyone else, effectively every spot changes. The #9 and #10 player isn’t even Top Ten to the WTA!

But ththe old divisor has a problem: Players are expected to play at least 17 events — meaning they must play more weak events. The Williams Sisters blatantly ignore this, but all others try to play at least seventeen events. We should, at minimum, adjust the divisor accordingly. So we produce the “modern divisor”: same as the above, but with a minimum divisor of 17, not 14.

Points Per Tournament, Minimum 17 (“Modernized Divisor”)

If it weren’t for injuries, this would clearly be more than the preceding. But injuries exist. More on this later. We follow this with the calculations based on the past and present ATP systems

Best 14The WTA uses the “Best 17” ranking system — totalling the points earned in the seventeen tournaments where one earned the most points. For most of the Nineties, the ATP uses a related ranking system, “Best 14” — the total points earned in one’s best fourteen events. If this system were applied to the WTA, the results would be as follows:

Overall, this isn’t very different from Best 17; the first change is at #9, and you have to go all the way down to #23 to see a player move more than one position. This contrasts with last year, where the difference between Best 14 and Best 17 changed the #1 ranking: Capriati overtook Davenport for the #1 ranking. This hardly seems fair — Capriati and Davenport played the same number of events, and Davenport, the more consistent player, earned more points overall. Shouldn’t she be rewarded for that? This is the ultimate problem with best-however-many rankings: If the number of events is high, they reward players who play a lot; if the number is low; they reward a few big results over day-in-and-day-out consistency.

Slotted Best 18 (ATP Entry Rank)This is the men’s “ranking” system. I put “ranking” in quotes because of several complications — first, the fact that it has two parts, much too easily confused. And second, there is the discontinuity — top players are expected to play Masters Series events, while lower-ranked players need not. There is no provision for injuries. All in all, it’s a system in need of work.

The slotted system counts a player’s results in Slams, Masters Series (the equivalent of the Tier I tournaments on the WTA tour), and a handful of other events. (Note, what follows is not quite the same as the men’s system, because they only have eight players in their year-end event, and award points differently. Also, the WTA schedules lesser events against some of its Tier I tournaments, and I have not separated these points.) In the table below, “Slam Points, LA Champ Points, Tier I Points” refer to what the players earned at those “Required” events; “Optional Points” are what the players earned in their best other events.

The effects of this ranking system vary from year to year. This year, its effects were minimal. Last year, however, seven of the top ten positions would have changes hands, including the #1 ranking.

Total Wins

The list below shows how the top players fared in terms of wins (I also show losses for balance). The reason this deviates so far from the rankings is that some of these players (e.g. Dokic) played large numbers of low-tier (Tier III-V) tournaments. Since they faced low-level opposition, their wins, quite properly, do not count as much toward the rankings. Others simply were unwilling or unable to play many tournaments. Though their winning percentage was high (witness Hingis, Serena Williams), their total wins were relatively low. Where two players have the same number of wins, I list the player with fewer losses first.Note: As elsewhere, this list includes only official tour wins; exhibitions (e.g. Fed Cup) are excluded. Also, walkovers are not calculated as wins or losses. It should be noted, too, that this list is not formally comprehensive; it omits player who spent their time primarily in Challengers (e.g. Granville was about 35-16 but two-thirds of her wins were in Challengers or Qualifying). Only highight players have been examined to compile this list. Finally, observe that the numbers here may not match those in the section on the Top Eighty. That section listed only main draw wins; this includes Challenger and Qualifying results as well

Winning Percentage

Based on the data on wins, we find the following order for win percentage (where there is a tie, the player with the higher number of wins is listed first, with such ties not marked; it is my opinion that having the same winning percentage while playing more matches is a greater accomplishment than winning fewer):

This is frankly extraordinary. Not just that Monica Seles is #3 and Martina Hingis #4. That shouldn’t be much surprise. The surprise lies in the numbers themselves: That only two players managed to win more than 80% of their matches. Last year, six players had at least an 80% ratio, and we thought things were wide open. This year is almost incomprehensible. Apart from the Williams Sisters, anything could, and did, happen.

Divisor Rankings, No Slam BonusIn terms of strength of field, the Slams are no stronger than Miami or the Los Angeles Championships — or even San Diego. But the Slams award double points — at Miami, you earn 325 points for winning the tournament, and 100 points for beating the #1 player, while at a Slam, it’s 650 and 200 points, respectively. The following table calculates divisor rankings if this Slam Bonus (or Slam Bias, as some call it) is eliminated. We maintain that this is proper: Does winning Roland Garros really tell you three as much about who is going to win Zurich as does winning Filderstadt?

The “Majors Ranking”It is an unfortunate fact that tennis uses the word “major” as a synonym for “Slam.” It’s unfortunate because it leaves us with no good word for “the best events.” The Slams are, of course, among the strongest events on the tour — but there are half a dozen other events which are quite competitive in terms of field strength. And many of them aren’t even Tier I events; the Tier II tournaments at Sydney, San Diego, and Filderstadt have traditionally been stronger than the average Tier I.

Which gives us the basis for another ranking, the “Majors Ranking.” We take the ten best events, and count results only in those events. In 2002, our list is Sydney, Australian Open, Ericsson, Rome, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, San Diego, U. S. Open, Filderstadt, and Munich. (The list does vary from year to year; Rome this year replaces Indian Wells 2001, which replaced Philadelphia 2000) Since all these events are strong, we don’t need quality points. And we don’t care about early losses. We’ll count only semifinals and better: 1 point for a semifinal, 3 for a final, 5 for a win.

On the whole WTA Tour, only fifteen players earned any Majors points at all. It will be evident that the “Majors Ranking” is not useful as an overall ranking system — but it is a good measure of the accomplishments we might count toward Player of the Year. The list of players with at least one Majors point is as follows (we also show the Majors points earned at each event):

This is a total of fifteen players; which is about typical — though in 2001, when Indian Wells replaced Rome, we had only thirteen, despite which the leaders had lower totals: Venus Williams (22), Capriati (15), Davenport (14), Hingis (14), Serena (13), Clijsters, Hénin, Seles, Testud, Dementieva, Martinez, and Mauresmo.

In 2000, we must add Philadelphia (substituting for Filderstadt, which in 2000 had its field depleted by the Olympics) and the Canadian Open for Indian Wells. The rankings were: Hingis (24), Davenport (22), Venus (15), Seles (7), Martinez, Mauresmo, Pierce, Serena, Kournikova, Dementieva, Sanchez-Vicario, Capriati, Dokic, Frazier, Tauziat, Testud.

In 1999, Filderstadt substitutes for the Canadian Open, and we again had sixteen players: Hingis (31), Davenport (23), Venus (11), Graf (10), Serena (8), Mauresmo, Pierce, Seles, Tauziat, Coetzer, Huber, Lucic, Sanchez-Vicario, Schett, Stevenson, Testud.

Total Round PointsConsists of the total round points which a player has earned in tournaments in the last year. Note: All a player’s tournaments are included here, not just her Best 17. In general, a player who does better in this ranking than in the WTA rankings is one who is failing to beat top players, and is attaining ranking by proceeding through easy matches. A player who stands lower in this ranking than the WTA ranking is one who perhaps has bad losses but who also probably has beaten a number of higher-ranked players.

We include this because the ATP, in its folly, has ceased to reckon points for quality.

Round Points Per TournamentThis ranking measures, in effect, how far a player typically advanced in a tournament, regardless of opposition.

If, here as elsewhere, we require a minimum of 14 events, we get significant changes in the Top Ten:

Quality Points Per Tournament (“Future Potential Ranking”)The reverse of the above, this calculates the difficulty of the opposition a player has overcome. For players outside the Top Six, it is a good measure of how they stack up against other players, and how likely they are to produce upsets. For the Top Six, it is rather less meaningful, because the different levels of quality point awards for the top players (that is, the fact that a win over #1 is worth much more than a win over #4) obscures their actual results. In 2002, this “predicted” Daniela Hantuchova; in 2003, watch out for Myriam Casanova!.

Quality/Round Points Equalized: 2Q+R Per Tournament

Calculated by doubling total quality points, adding round points, and dividing the sum by tournaments. The effect of this is to make, very roughly, half of the typical player’s points come from quality and half from round points. This is, in the author’s opinion, about the best way to assess players’ actual performances based solely on WTA ranking data with no manipulation based on winning percentage or surface balance..

Consistency-Rewarded Rankings

Logarithmic Points AwardThe WTA’s Best 18 ranking cares nothing for consistency — your best results count, and nothing else. The old WTA divisor ranking took consistency more into account — but big results (e.g. from Slams) still biased the result. The Consistency-Rewarded Rankings give the greatest reward to consistent players. Under this system, it’s better to make two semifinals than to win one event and lose first round in another (the reverse is true under the WTA rankings, even though reaching two semifinals requires at least as many wins). If good results help, bad results hurt. The method is as follows: One takes the natural log — in mathematical terms, ln() — of each weekly score, takes the arithmetic mean (i.e. divide by the number of events), then take the antilog, ex or exp(x). Under this system, a player who is absolutely consistent, producing the same score at every event, will get the same score as under the divisor. A less-consistent player will get a lower score — the less consistent, the lower the score.

A consistency-punishing ranking is, of course, also possible — but is functionally equivalent to just ranking players according to their single highest score.

Interestintingly, if we require 14 tournaments, Serena’s score falls to 222.7; if we used a minimum of 15, Venus would come out #1! If we apply this rule to Hingis and Davenport also (less fair, since they were injured), Hingis falls to #7 and Davenport all the way to #13.

Worst 14A simpler, though less accurate, way of measuring consistency is to simply take a player’s worst fourteen results. Instead of paying off on good results at the top, this pays off on a lack of bad results. To keep the playing field level, players who play fewer than fourteen events lose events out of their fourteen until the total is correct. So, for instance, Serena Williams played thirteen events. That’s one less than fourteen. She therefore loses her best event for underplaying. (We don’t apply this to Hingis or Davenport as a sort of “injury ranking.” If we did apply the rule, Hingis would fall to #10 and Davenport drop to #13.)

This is a very complex ranking to calculate, and we looked only at the Highlight Players. For this reason, will only list the top 25 under this system, which we offer mostly for demonstration purposes. (Though we would ask the real question, why is Best 14/Best 17 any better than Worst 14/17? Neither one counts all results!)

For comparison, Alexandra Stevenson had 161 points, Meghann Shaughnessy had 90 points, Anna Smashnova 85.5, and Tatiana Panova only 40 points!

Middle HalfAnother variation on the theme of consistency is to count half your results — but not the best half, the middle half. So if you play twelve events, we count the middle six, omitting the best three and the worst three. If your number of events is not divisible by four, we adjust appropriately. So, e.g., if you have seventeen events, half of that is 8.5. We take the seven middle events (i. e. #6-#12), and 75% of the two around that (i.e. #5 and #13). Applying this formula, we get the following Top 20:

Idealized Ranking Systems

Idealized Rankings/Proposal 1: Surface-Modified Divisor (Minimum 16)In examining the various ranking systems used (and not used) by the Tours, one noticed that each has strengths and weaknesses. The current ATP Tour system has the advantage of enforcing surface balance, but it generally ignores smaller tournaments and has no reward for beating top players. The WTA Tour system has the advantage of encouraging players to play regularly (any good result is likely to increase a player’s ranking total) but encourages overplaying, has no surface balance, and renders losses meaningless.

Based on consideration, it seems to me that the following are the key features of an ideal ranking system:1. Both wins and losses should count.2. There should be strong rewards for quality; winning a tournament with a weak field should have

relatively little value3. There should be a minimum required number of tournaments, and incentives for playing more than the

minimum should be reduced (to prevent injury) but not entirely eliminated4. Surfaces should be balanced — players should not be allowed to “clean up” by playing more than half

their events on a particular surface.5. The Slam Bias should be reduced relative to the stronger tournaments such as Miami.

I’ll outline two proposals. The first is closer to the current WTA system:• The system is point-and-divisor based: You earn a certain number of points, and divide them by a

number of tournaments. This is probably not the best mathematical model, but it is (relatively) simple.• The minimum divisor should be 16 (in doubles, perhaps 12). This is larger than the divisor of 14 the

WTA used in 1996, but smaller than the Best 18 used from 1998 to 2000 or the Best 17 used since 2001.• The Slam Bonus should be reduced from 2 to 1.5• Quality points should be multiplied by 1.5 (Note that this, combined with the preceding point, means

that quality points at Slams will be multiplied by 2.5.)• The current WTA Round Point table may be retained• Players should play at least a certain percentage of their events on all four surfaces: 31% on hardcourts,

16% indoors, 18% on clay, 6% on grass. (This is based on a simple calculation: I took the Top 30, found the percent they played on each surface, sorted the list for each surface, and took the percentage for player #27, rounding to the nearest percent.) This is a total of 71% of one’s schedule accounted for; the other 29% may be played on any surface. If, however, you fail to play the minimum on any given surface, your divisor will be adjusted accordingly. Example: A player plays sixteen events, but only two on clay, or 12.5%. She was supposed to play 18% on clay, meaning she should have played three clay events. The difference, one, is added to her divisor; she is treated as if she had played seventeen events.

• If one plays beyond the minimum of sixteen, your divisor is reduced by one third of a tournament for each additional tournament played. So, e.g., if you play seventeen tournaments, your divisor is 16.67; if you play 19, it is 18, etc.

• Injured players who miss at least four months are exempt from balance and minimum requirements; their ranking is based simply on their points and number of tournaments.

The following table shows the result of this calculation for the WTA Top 30. The first column, “Rank,” is the player’s rank under this system. “Player” is the player involved. “# of Tourn” is the number of events the player actually played this year. “Qual Pts, Round Pts, and Slam Pts” are actual quality points, round points, and points earned in Slams. “Penalty Tourns” is the number of extra tournaments assessed for surface imbalance. “Adjust. points” is the calculated points total — equal to round points plus half of quality points minus one fourth of Slam Points. “Adjust. # Tourn” is the adjusted tournaments played — either 16 (if you played only sixteen events) or the number of tournaments plus penalty tournaments minus bonus tournaments. Score is what you get when you divide Adjusted Points by Adjusted # of Tournaments — the whole point of the exercise. WTA Rnk is the player’s WTA rank. And so, without further ado,

Idealized Rankings/Proposal 2 — Adjusted Won/LostThe previous ranking system was based on the current WTA point table. Many of our other proposals have also been based on this. But there is nothing magic about the points system. We could also use a won/lost system.

Except — a player who plays weak events may earn a much higher winning percentage than a better player who plays stronger events. Henrieta Nagyova has eight career titles because she plays a lot of Tier IV tournaments. Anna Kournikova has none, in part, because she plays mostly Tier II and up. Kournikova is the better player, but she doesn’t have the titles, or the winning percentage, to prove it.

So if we are to base our system on winning percentage, we must somehow adjust for tournament strength.And we also need to account for wins over top players.And we need to encourage players to play more, within reason.We can do all that. To accomplish the first, we simply diddle with the values of wins: If we define a win

at a Tier I or Tier II as being “one standard win,” then a win at a Slam might be 1.1 SWs (for this purpose, we’ll count the year-end championship as a Slam), and a win at a Tier III only .8, and a win at a Tier IV or V a mere .6.

To account for wins over top players, we assign bonus wins. In our system, a top four player gets you an extra .6 wins. Beating a player ranked #5-#10 is worth .4. Beating #11-#20 gets you .2. And a win over #21-#35 is worth .1.

To encourage players to play more, we do two things: First, we require you to play sixteen events, and add losses until you do (except for injured players). And second — and this is the key part — we reduce losses exponentially. Instead of calculating raw wins and losses, we take losses to the .8 power. What this means is that if two players have the same winning percentage, but one has played more, the one who has played more will have a slightly higher adjusted winning percentage. Not much — losses still count! But enough to make it worth playing more if it doesn’t drag your results down. Note: We will count withdrawals as losses in this system, but walkovers do not count as wins.

We only calculate the Top Thirty, because this ranking is work and would require significant reprogramming by the WTA staff to use as “the” ranking system. In assessing the results, we ask that you remember: This system isn’t designed to look anything like the WTA rankings; it’s a completely different way of looking at the data. You should not look at the results but rather the method. If you approve of the method, then be open to the results. If you don’t accept the method — well, we were as surprised by the results as you were.

The columns in the table are as follows:Rnk: Player’s rank under this system. Player Name: Just what it says. #Trn: The number of

tournaments the player played. Slam W, L: Wins and losses in Slams. Tier I/II W, L: Wins and losses in Tier I and Tier II tournaments. Tier III W, L: Wins and losses in Tier III events. Tier IV+ W, L: Wins and losses in Tier IV, V, and Challenger events. Adj. Wins: Adjusted winning total based on the formula abova (i.e. a Slam win counts as 1.1, etc.) Bon Wins: Bonus wins as a result of victories over top players. Pen Loss: Penalty losses assessed for not playing the full 16 events. Tot Wins: Total wins as calculated, i.e. Adjusted wins plus Bonus Wins. Adj Los: Adjusted losses as calculated, i.e. total actual losses plus penalty losses raised to the .8 power. Adj Wi%: Adjusted winning percentage: Tot Wins divided by the quantity total wins plus adj. losses, expressed as a percent. The maximum is of course 100% (possible only if you play at least sixteen events and never lose a match), the minimum 0%

And so, without further ado, the actual numbers:

Adjusted Winning Percentage, No BonusesSome may object to the application of bonus wins, or to the reduction of losses. We can still calculate this ranking without that factor — strict wins and losses, adjusted for tournament strength. This produces a noticeably different list, kinder to players who didn’t play a lot (because it eliminates the benefit of playing more, and also eliminates the effect of bonus wins — which a player who plays a lot has more chance to earn):Rank Player

Percentage of Possible Points EarnedTournaments differ in their “richness.” A win at a Slam, for instance, is worth twice as much as a win in an equivalent round of a Tier I. A player who plays mostly “rich” tournaments, such as Slams and Tier I events, will therefore earn more points than a player who has the same number of wins in lesser tournaments. We can control for this by comparing a player’s actual score with the expected results if one wins each level of tournament.

For these purposes, we must define values for each of the various tournament types. For this exercise, I have used the following values:• Slam: 1000 (650 round points + 350 quality points = 7 rounds * 25 pts/round *2 slam bonus)• Los Angeles Championship: 685 (485 round points + 200 qual points = 4 rounds * 50 pts/round)• 96 draw [Tier I] — Miami, Indian Wells: 505 (325 round points + 180 qual points = 6 rounds * 30

pts/round)• 56-Draw Tier I (=Charleston, Berlin, Rome, Canadian Open): 425 (275 round points + 150 qual

points = 5 rounds * 30 pts/round)• 28-Draw Tier I (=Pan Pacific, Zurich, Moscow): 403 (275 round points + 128 qual points = 4 rounds

* 32 pts/round)• Tier II: 320 (195 round points + 125 qual points = 4 rounds * 30 pts/round)• Tier III: 208 (120 round points + 88 qual points = 4 rounds * 22 pts/round)• Tier IV: 155 (95 round points for Tier IV + 60 qual points = 5 rounds * 12 pts/round)• Tier V: 130 (80 round points for Tier V + 50 qual points = 5 rounds * 10 pts/round)• Challenger: 70 points (very approximate, but it hardly matters)Note that other point assignments may be used, to favour those who play more higher- or lower-tier tournaments. The above is an approximation, based on the examination of several tournament fields: This is what one could typically expect to earn at such an event. Not all tournament winners would earn this precise amount. It is, of course, possible to calculate the maximum number of points a player could earn for any given tournament — but this is actually an unfair gauge, because chances are that a particular player will not play all her highest-round opponents. And this is not under the player’s own control.

Based on these numbers, we can calculate an approximate figure for the number of points a player could have earned based on her schedule. This is the “Possible Points” field. The “Actual Points” is what the player actually earned in these events (note that this does not match a player’s WTA ranking total, because all events count). The column after that, “Percent,” shows the percent of her possible points a player earned. The final column, “average richness,” is simply the possible points divided by the number of tournaments. This shows how strong a player’s schedule is. Venus Williams, for instance, played only twelve tournaments — but they included four Slams, which are obviously “rich.” Serena Williams played few, but very high-tier, events. This gave her the opportunity to earn a lot of points in a relatively small number of tournaments.

The key figure, therefore, is “percent” — this is the calculation which shows how well a player lived up to expectations. In this category, Serena is the leader, with over 85% earned. Which is simply astonishing. She’s followed by the usual suspects: Venus, Davenport, Capriati, Hingis.

For comparison, last year there were also two players (Venus, Davenport) over 60%; Capriati mafe it three in the 50% club; Serena Williams, Hingis, and Seles were over 40%; and Clijsters, Dokic, Hénin, and Mauresmo were over 25%. Thus the 25% club had ten members last year, to nine this year — and the only change from 2001 to 2002 was that Dokic dropped out!

The final column, Avg Richn(ess), measures the average available points at the events each player played. We note that Serena, Venus, and Capriati are all over 500 — implying that they are playing schedules rather unfairly rich. Serena, at least, should play more. But we knew that.

Head to Head/Results against Top Players

The Top 20 Head to HeadThe table below shows how the Top 20 fared against each other in 2002. For completeness, the Top 27 are shown on the vertical axis, although only the Top 20 can be listed across the top for space reasons.

Reading the Table: For space reasons, the names of the Top 20 players have been abbreviated in the column headings. Scores are meant to be read across the rows. So, e.g., if you look down the column headed DOKIC and the row labelled Capriati, you will see the notation “2-1.” This means that Dokic and Capriati played three times (1+2=3), with Capriati winning two and Dokic one.

Wins Over Top Players

Matches Played/Won against the (Final) Top TwentyThis table summarizes how players did against the players who would consistitute the final Top Twenty. (Note that, for the players ranked in the Top Twenty, the total number of opponents they could face is 19.) The final column,% of wins against Top 20, calculates the fraction of a player’s wins earned against the Top Twenty — a measure of the difficulty one faced to earn those wins.

Won/Lost Versus the Top Players (Based on Final Rankings)

The following table shows each player’s won/lost record against the Top 10, against the Second 10 (#11-#20), and against the Top 20 as a whole, based on final rankings. Note: This is not the same as the players’ wins over Top 10/Top 20 players, given in the previous table. What is shown here is the player’s record against the women who ended the year in the Top 10/Top 20. At the time of the matches, some of these women will not have been at their final ranks. On the other hand, it could be argued that this is a better measure of success against top players — a player who ends 2000 at #7 (e.g. Hénin) had a better 2000 than a player who began the year at #7 but ended it outside the Top Twenty (Pierce), and a win against the player with the higher final rank should therefore mean more.

The player with the best record in each category is shown in bold. WTARank

Fraction of Points Earned in Slams

The Top 25 collectively earned 58524.25 points in 2002, slightly up from 57459 points in 2001. Given the point inflation on the WTA, this actually means that they decreased their fraction of total points earned. Of those points, 18,110, or 30.9%, were earned at Slams in 2002. This compares to 16402 of these, or 28.6%, in 2001 — showing the effect of the Slam inflation. The mean of the fraction of points earned in the Slams is 26.3% (that is, this is the average of the players’ fractions). The median is Farina Elia’s 26.1%. The extremes are Stevenson’s 0.5% and Capriati’s and Serena Williams’s 51.8%

Quality Versus Round Points

Generally speaking, the higher the fraction of points one earns from quality, the better one is at pulling off “upsets.” This is especially true of lower-ranked players — top-ranked players have fewer opportunities to earn quality points.

For Comparison: The Top 25 earned an actual total of 58363.25 points (the total of their Best 17 scores is slightly lower). 20,512 of these, or 35.1%, came from quality (down slightly from 35.4% last year, probably due to point inflation). The median quality percentage for the Top 25 is also 35.1% (earned by Maleeva); the arithmetic mean (average) is 35.9%. Rubin’s 44.2% of points is the leader; the lowest players are Hingis and Davenport (due probably to their messed-up schedules).

Percentage of Points Earned on Each SurfaceThe first four numbers in this table should be fairly self-explanatory. The last column, RMS, is perhaps less clear. This is an attempt to assess a player’s balance. RMS, for Root Mean Square, measures the player’s distance from the mean. The smaller the RMS value, the more “typical” a player is. Thus, Conchita Martinez, improbably enough, is the most balanced with a score of .02, followed by Venus Williams, who is the most balanced player in the Top 25; Mary Pierce, not surprisingly given her schedule, is least balanced, with Alexandra Stevenson the least balanced player in the Top 25. For Reference: For the Top 25 as a whole, 44.2% of all points were earned on hardcourts, 21.4% on clay, 11.6% on grass, and 22.9% indoors.

ConsistencyWe often speak of a player’s “consistency,” but the term does not really have a clear definition. We can offer some models, however.

Standard Deviation of Scores by Tournament

One measure of a player’s consistency is the standard deviation of a player’s results over the tournaments she plays. The following list expresses a player’s consistency by dividing the standard deviation of her score by the mean score. In mathematical parlance, if the player’s scores are s1, s2, … sn, then the number given here is given by the formula (shown here in two forms):

Thus (for the mathematicians out there), this is not actually the standard deviation; it has been normalized by dividing by the mean. Note: This is not a ranking system; it is a measure of consistency. A player who loses in the second round of every tournament is more consistent (consistently bad) than a player who wins half of her tournaments and loses early in the other half — but the player who wins the tournaments will have, and probably deserve, a higher ranking. In the list below, the lower the score, the more consistent the player is. I have not “ranked” the players, lest this be confused with a ranking scheme, but they are listed in order from most to least consistent by the “standard deviation” measure.

STDDEV(s1, s2, … sn) --------------------------------MEAN(s1, s2, … sn)

Early-Round LossesAnother way of measuring consistency is how rarely one suffers early-round losses. The following table shows how many first-round (or, correctly, opening-round) losses each of the top players had, followed by other early-round losses (defined, arbitrarily, as cases where the player earned 50 or fewer points in the tournament or a first round loss at Los Angeles). For my convenience, this list is alphabetical. Note: First round losses at the Los Angeles Championships are not included as first-round losses; being worth 67 points,, they have been listed as early losses. Players who lost in the first round at Los Angeles are marked with an asterisk (so you may transfer the results if you like).”

Best and Worst “Worst Losses”The list below shows the ten worst losses for Top 25 players (i.e. the ten players who lost to the players with the very worst rankings), and also the ten with the least severe “worst losses.” This is followed by the name and ranking (both ranking at the time and ranking as of the end of 2002) of the player to whom she lost.

Worst “Worst Loss”1. Panova: Navratilova (never ranked in 2002)1

2. Daniilidou: M. Casanova (then #348/ended #54)3. Coetzer: Baltacha (then #295/ended #157)3. Sugiyama: Pierce (then #295/ended #52)5. Hantuchova: Pierce (then #232/ended #52)6. Maleeva: Sidot (then #211/ended #242)7. Myskina: Callens (then #203/ended #67)8. Hénin: Kapros (then #179/ended #105)8. Rubin: Vierin (then #179/ended #163)

10. Schnyder: Pierce (then #172/ended #52)11. Stevenson: Granville (then #150/ended #47)

1. Panova’s next-worst loss was to Widjaja,#91; if the loss to Navratilova is omitted, she is not in the Top Ten Worst Losses, and Stevenson gets the #10 worst loss.

Best “Worst Loss”1. Davenport: Maleeva (then #23/ended #14)1. V. Williams: Maleeva (then #23/ended #14)3. S. Williams: Schnyder (then #30/ended #15)4. Mauresmo: Daniilidou (then #51/ended #22)5. Clijsters: Bovina (then #61/ended #26)6. Capriati: Stevenson (then #61/ended #18)7. Clijsters: C. Fernandez (then #87/ended #31)8. Seles: Foretz (then #97/ended #79)9. Déchy: Benesova (then #98/ended #81)

10. Smashnova: Srebotnik (then #108/ended #41)


Fraction of Points Earned in Biggest WinIn general, the lower this number, the more consistent a player has been, as she did not use one freak result to significantly change her result. The table shows the point value of the player’s biggest win, what percentage of her (total) points this represents, what her score would have been without this win, where she would have stood in the rankings without that win, and what the win was. Players who would have retained their rankings even without their biggest wins are marked in italics. Note: A “big win” does not constitute the result that took a player deepest into a tournament, but the result that was worth the most points. In the column labelled “Big Win,” it is assumed that the player won the tournament listed unless this is followed by the round in which the player lost (e.g. “F”=final, “SF”= semifinal, “QF”=Quarterfinal).

Number of Significant ResultsFor our purposes, define a “significant result” as one which earns a player at least 100 points. The following table shows the number of significant results earned top players. (The figure in the “100+ Points” column is the number of the player’s tournaments in which she earned 100+ points; similarly in the “200+ Points” column.). We note with some surprise that Venus outperformed Serena in this regard, and even Seles topped Serena in fraction of events with 100+ points (though Serena beats Seles in the 200+ category), and that Hingis is fourth.

Points Per QuarterFor those who want trends, we can also determine how well players did in each part of the year. In the lists which follow, quarters are reckoned based on when a tournament ends. So, e.g., Wimbledon began in June but ended in July; its points are counted toward the July total. Players are ranked in order of points per tournament. A player in italics is one with too few tournaments in the quarter for the result to be considered meaningful. In a few places I have listed players outside the Top 10 for the quarter who had a high per-tournament score. Note that in a handful of instances these lists include players not in the Top 20.

Most Consistent over Four QuartersThe data in the previous section allows us to calculate another consistency ranking, based on who had the best results from quarter to quarter. All told, 24 different players ended in the Top Twelve in at least one quarter, though only Hénin, Seles, Serena Williams, and Venus Williams made it in all four quarters (Capriati missed in the last quarter, Clijsters in the third quarter, Hantuchova in the second, Mauresmo, the second, and Hingis in the third and fourth). In the list below, I have added up the player’s per-quarter score for each of the four quarters. Lowest is best, i.e. most consistent. Players not in the Top 14 in any given quarter are assigned an arbitrary value of 15 (meaning, obviously, that the maximum possible score is 60), but a player must make the Top 12 at least once to be listed. Injuries being what they are, this is a long way from perfect (e.g. Hingis didn’t really play in quarter 4, and Davenport didn’t play at all in quarters 1 and 2), but it may provide an indication. Unfortunately, there is no good way to control for underplaying players.I’ve tried; it didn’t work.

Slam ResultsFrom the standpoint of difficulty, the Slams are overrated. Slam results, e.g., are worth twice as much as the results of Tier I events, even though Tier I events are played in a shorter time against a tougher field (to win the Canadian Open, a player must win five or six matches in seven days, with every opponent probably in the Top Fifty; to win the U. S. Open requires seven matches in no less than twelve days, with probably at least two opponents outside the Top Fifty). Still, they are the events people remember, and so deserve some separate consideration. The following summarizes the top players’ slam results. The column, “Total Opponent Rank” adds up the rankings of one’s opponents. The next column divides this by the number of matches played. The lower this number, the tougher the average opponent was (note: Players ranked outside the Top 100 have been calculated as “100”). It is not properly a scheme for ranking; it simply calculated how tough, overall, the players’ draw was.Player WTA

1. Fernandez also had three wins in Australian Open qualifying. These results, and these points, are not included in the above totals.


Surface RankingsMost ratings to this point have been “overall” ratings, regardless of surface. However, players do most definitely have preferred surfaces. We may therefore compute “surface rankings.” The following tables show how the Top 25 did on each surface. Some other players have been added when their results warrant it. Results are listed in order of points per tournament on each surface.

It is effectively certain that some players outside the Top 25 have exceeded some of the lower Top 25 players on certain surfaces (especially grass). I have noted these where I have been aware of them, but have not checked this for all players.

Best and Worst Results on ClayThe following tables list a player’s best and worst results on this surface. Of these, the worst result may be the better measure of ability — a player who avoids bad losses is at least more consistent than one with a mixture of good and bad results.

Davenport did not play clay. All other Top 30 players had at least one first-round loss, though for Hénin, Maleeva, and Stevenson (who played only two clay events), that sole loss came at Roland Garros and was worth 2 points. Top 30 players with first round losses not at Roland Garros were Clijsters, Mauresmo, Hantuchova, Dokic, Myskina, Rubin, Schnyder, Smashnova, Farina Elia, Dementieva, Déchy, Coetzer, Daniilidou, Panova, Sugiyama, Kremer, Bovina, Suarez, Tanasugarn, Raymond, and Shaughnessy.


Grass

Summary of Grass ResultsThe following lists the top players, the tournaments they played on grass, the points earned on the surface, their record and winning percentage. In addition, some players who have played “grass-intensive” schedules (Asagoe, Baltacha, Jeon, Pullin) are listed even if they haven’t won all that much. (I have required them to play at least one WTA main draw match; this eliminates, e.g. Fukuoka winner Vanessa Webb, who was 7–4 on grass but had all her wins in Challengers, or Kelly Liggan, 8–3 in grass Challengers.) The list is in alphabetical order.

1. Baltacha’s score at Felixstowe may be off by a point or two; she was ranked so low that her score did not appear in my records.

2. Some matches at Surbiton, including the final which Granville lost to Lee, were played indoors. These are nonetheless counted as grass matches.

3. Point figures for Mi-Ra Jeon are approximate; she was ranked so low at the time of these results that her scores do not appear in my records; I had to reconstruct.

4. Some matches at Surbiton, including the final which Lee won, were played indoors. These are nonetheless counted as grass matches.

5. Pullin’s score at Gifu may be off by a point or two; she was ranked so low that her score did not appear in my records.6. Some matches at Surbiton, including the semifinal which Stevenson lost to Granville, were played indoors because of wet

weather. These are nonetheless counted as grass matches.


Note: Because only four WTA events are played on grass, and no top player can play more than three grass events, it is not productive to attempt a full statistical analysis.

Adjusted Points Per Tournament on GrassA blatant difficulty with grass is that so many players play only Wimbledon. This seriously biases their results, because Slams are so point-heavy. A player who wins Eastbourne and reaches the Wimbledon semifinal will probably wind up with a lower divisor score than a player who plays only Wimbledon and reaches the semifinal (this happened in 2001: Davenport won Eastbourne and reached the Wimbledon semifinal, while Capriati reached the Wimbledon semifinal without playing any other grass events. Capriati had the better per-event score. Indeed, Capriati outscored Justine Hénin, who reached the Wimbledon final and won ’s-Hertogenbosch!). Yet surely the first player has at least as much right to be considered a top grass player! To attempt to compensate for this, we produce an adjusted grass ranking, setting a minimum divisor of 1.7. This reduces the bias for those who play only Wimbledon, while still making it more important than other grass results. Using this adjusted ranking gives us the following:

Best and Worst Results IndoorsThe following tables list a player’s best and worst results on this surface. Of these, the worst result may be the better measure of ability — a player who avoids bad losses is at least more consistent than one with a mixture of good and bad results.

Note on the above: Observe that Davenport’s 67 point score is actually a first round loss at the Los Angeles Championships. Hantuchova also had a first-round loss at the Championships.

All other Top 30 players, including Venus Williams, Capriati, Hénin, Dokic, Hingis, Myskina, Rubin, Maleeva, Schnyder, Smashnova, Farina Elia, Dementieva, Déchy, Coetzer, Daniilidou, Panova, Sugiyama, Kremer, Bovina, Suarez, Raymond, and Shaughnessy, had at least one opening-round loss indoors (at an event where such a result was worth only a single point).

We should also note that Tanasugarn and Testud played only one indoor event each.


All-Surface PlayersThe above us to produce a sort of a pseudo-ranking for “best all-surface player.” For this we add up a player’s ranking on all four surfaces based on points per tournament. (Note: Because of the shortness of the grass season, grass scores have been divided in half, rounding up, and a maximum value of 9 has been used. For all other surfaces, a maximum of 16 has been used. Also, the adjusted grass scores have been used) Note that this is not a measure of who is better on all surfaces; it measures who has been an all-surface player this year. (We should note that, while this statistic has had meaning in the past, in 2000–2002 it has been rendered relatively useless by injuries) Players with the maximum score, of 57 have not been listed. It should be noted that any score in excess of about 50 is likely to indicate a surface specialist (examples: Fernandez, Stevenson, Maleeva, Suarez); even a score in the 30–40 range may indicate a specialist if the player is a two-surface specialist and very good on those surfaces (example: Davenport).

Tournament Wins by SurfaceHere are the number of tournaments each player won on the various surfaces. As elsewhere, tournaments are divided into Major (Tier II and up; note that this does not mean “Slam,” which is how some use the term) and Minor (Tier III and below). The final column lists the number of surfaces on which a player won tournaments.

Highlight players with no titles: Bedanova, Coetzer, Davenport, Déchy, Dementieva, Grande, Kournikova, Kremer, Likhovtseva, Martinez, Nagyova, Panova, Pierce, Sanchez-Vicario, Schett, Schiavone, Shaughnessy, Stevenson, Suarez, Sugiyama, Tanasugarn, Testud, Tulyaganova

Other players with titles: Black (Hard), M. Casanova (Clay), Craybas (Hard), Diaz-Oliva (Clay), Kuznetsova (Clay, Hard), Matevzic (Indoor), Mikaelian (Hard), Müller (Clay), Safina (Clay), Srebotnik (Clay), Sucha (Hard), Svensson (Clay), Wartusch (Clay), Widjaja (Hard), Zuluaga (Clay)

The overall situation for 2002 is fairly clear: Serena Williams won major titles on all four surfaces. Venus Williams won on three, missing out on grass. Only four other players managed significant titles on two surfaces: Clijsters (clay and indoors), Hénin (clay and indoors), Hingis (hardcourt and indoors), and Rubin (grass and hardcourt). All other players either won on only one surface or won only small events on multiple surfaces.

Assorted Statistics

The Busiest Players on the Tour

Total Tour Matches Played by Top PlayersThe following table shows how the Top 25, and certain other busy players, ranked in total matches played. Note that this does not correlate closely with ranking or with tournaments played; Dokic and Myskina are tops because they play a lot and win occasionally, Venus is #4 because she plays rather rarely but win a lot, and Panova #10 because she doesn’t win much but plays a ton.

The final columns show how a player did against her schedule. “Possible matches” is the number of matches the player scheduled (that is, the number she would have played had she won every match leading up to the final. So a Slam would represent seven possible matches, a Tier I between four and seven, depending on the event and whether one is seeded or not, a Tier V would represent five possible matches, etc.) The “% of possible” shows what fraction of these matches the player actually played. As a rule of thumb, a player who played 70% of her matches or more (Venus, Capriati, Serena, Seles, Hingis, Davenport) is Top Five material; 60% (Hénin, Clijsters, Mauresmo, Rubin) says Top Ten; 50% (Dokic, Hantuchova) should assure a Top 15 spot over a full schedule.

Total Tour Events Played by the Top 150The following table sorts the Top 150 (as of November 11, 2002) based on events played in the past year. All players who have played that many events are listed, along with their rankings (in parentheses). Top 25 players are shown in bold. The second column shows how many players played each number of events.

All told, the Top 150 played 3540 events in 2002, up from 3434 events in 2001. The maximum remains the same: Last year, Alina Jidkova led the Top 150 with 34 events, followed by Marissa Irvin with 33. The busiest Top 50 player in 2001 was — yes, Tatiana Panova, with 31 events.

The Strongest TournamentsTheoretically, all tournaments of the same tier are of equal difficulty. In reality, it’s not even close. Tournaments like Filderstadt and San Diego are so strong that, in some years, Top Ten players can go unseeded, while Eastbourne 2002 didn’t feature a single Top Five player.

In general, we can assume that all Slams and the Chase Championships are at maximum strength; with minor exceptions, everyone who can play will play. This is not true of Tier I and Tier II tournaments (other than Miami). Experience shows that, overall, certain tournaments are guaranteed to be strong: the Slams, the Championships, Miami, Sydney, San Diego, Filderstadt. Those are the “big eight” of the WTA Tour, consistently strong from year to year. It’s much harder to decide which tournaments are next. There is no simple way of “rating” tournaments; it is not the sort of statistic the WTA calculates. The sections below offer three proposals, each with strengths and weaknesses (weaknesses derived both from the systems themselves and from the fact that they are based on WTA rankings).


Tournament Strength Based on the Four Top Players Present

Proposal #1: This is a two-part ranking, strength and depth. For the strenth, take the total rankings of the top four players present. Add to this the scores of the top two present. (That is, count the top two twice and the #3 and #4 players once.) This gives an indication of just how tough things are when “the going gets tough”: it shows what you can expect to be up against in the semifinal and final rounds. (So, for example, the top four players at Sydney in 2001 were Hingis, ranked #1; Davenport, ranked #2; Seles, ranked #4; and Martinez, ranked #5. So the total “value” of this tournament is 1+1+2+2+4+5=15.) The lower this number (the minimum possible value is 13), the stronger the tournament

To calculate the depth, we look at the top three seeds and the bottom three seeds (or, correctly, the top three players and the players whose rankings would entitle them to the last three seeds based on the current rankings). Sum the values for the bottom three, then subtract the sum of the value for the top three, and divide by three (if the tournament has eight seeds) or by six (if it has sixteen seeds). The smaller this number (the minimum is five), the deeper the tournament, as the difference between top and bottom seeds is smallest. Again taking Sydney 2001, the top seeds were ranked 1, 2, and 4; the bottom three seeds were ranked #8, #12, and #14. So the depth of Sydney is defined by [(8+12+14)-(1+2+4)]/3 = (34-7)/3 = 27/3 = 9. Note: For purposes of calculations, only the top sixteen seeds at 32-seed events are counted.

Based on the following, we rate the tournaments on the Tour as follows (sorted by strength). Note: Tournaments below Tier II shown in italics.Where two tournaments are of equal difficulty, the one with the greater depth is listed first (but they are ranked equal). The general coherence of the WTA’s Tier system is shown by the fact that only two Tier III events (Gold Coast and ’s-Hertogenbosch) are ranked above the lowest Tier II, and only three events above Tier III (Pan Pacific, Eastbourne, Bahia) are ranked below the top Tier III.

The Top Tournaments Based on Top Players Present — Method 1Proposal #2: The following table assesses tournaments based on the top players who play. It starts with tournaments played by the #1 player, and lists the number of other Top Ten players present. Then it lists tournaments headlined by #2, etc. Only tournaments from Tier II up are listed. The difficulty with this system is that a tournament with (say) four Top Ten players headed by the #5 player might be considered stronger than a tournament with only one Top Ten player, but that one player being #2. Frankly, it’s a lousy way of rating tournaments (Filderstadt #26?!) but it makes it easy to look up who was at the top of the field.

The Top Tournaments Based on Top Players Present — Method 2Proposal #3: This method combines the above with the “Tournament Strength Index” proposed by Geert Calliauw. The Tournament Strength Index calculates the total quality points available for the top eight seeds, and calculates this as a fraction of the possible quality points if all of the Top Eight played. My modified version uses the same calculation, but counts only Top Ten players. Recall that the #1 player is worth 100 quality points, #2 is worth 75, #3 66, #4 55, #5 50, and players #6-#10 are worth 43. Thus the percentage listed below is the total quality points divided by the sum of the values for the Top Eight, 475.

As with the “Strength and Depth” measure, tournaments below Tier II are shown in italics. Although details differ slightly, this shows almost the same Tier stratification we saw in the other ranking: only thre Tier III events (Gold Coast, ’s-Hertogenbosch, Birmingham) are ranked above the lowest Tier II, and only two Tier II events (Bahia, Eastbourne) below the strongest Tier III.

Seeds and their Success RatesThe following tables summarize how successful seeded players are at holding their seeds. (It will be observed that seeding is much more accurate at the stronger tournaments.)

In the tables which follow, the heading “reached seeded round” refers to the number of seeds who made it to the round in which seeds are expected to face seeds (e.g. the Round of 32 at the Slams, or the quarterfinals at a 28-draw tournament which has only eight seeds). The column “held seed” refers to players who not only reach the seeded round but reach the level expected for their seeding — so, e.g., seeds #5-#8 are expected to reach the quarterfinal; seeds #3 and #4 should reach the semifinal; #2 should reach the final, and #1 should win. If a player goes beyond her seeding, of course, she is regarded as having held her seed.Slams (+ Munich)

Australian Open 32 21 17 66% 53%1

1. If we take only the top sixteen seeds, there were actually only fifteen (#5 seed Serena Williams withdrew and was replaced by #33 Krasnoroutskaya); of these 15, ten, or 67%, reached the seeded round; nine, or 60%, held seed.

Roland Garros 32 17 13 53% 41%2

2. If we take only the top sixteen seeds, nine, or 56%, reached the Round of Sixteen; seven, or 44%, held seed.

Wimbledon 32 19 13 59% 41%3

3. If we take only the top sixteen seeds, 10, or 63%, reached the Round of Sixteen; six, or 38%, held seed. We should note the complication that Lisa Raymond was promoted to the #16 seed; she held seed, and Patty Schnyder, the player she bumped, was in the same sixteenth and lost in the second round.

The Road to VictorySometimes earning a title is easy; sometimes it’s a long struggle. The following statistics offer perspectives on what a player had to do to earn a title (Tier II or higher).

Games Lost in Path to TitleThe following table assesses the winner’s path to victory by calculating the number of games lost on the way to the title. Since, however, some tournaments have more rounds than others, this is divided by the number of matches played to get games per match. (Note: for these purposes, a tiebreak counts as a game). The lower the number of games per match, the better the player performed.

2. Really more like three matches. In the semifinal, Clijsters played an injured Venus Williams. Venus retired trailing 5–0.

Quality Points EarnedThe following table assesses the winner’s path to victory by calculating the strength of her opponents, as measured by quality points. Since some tournaments have more rounds than others, this is divided by the number of matches played. (Note: It should be kept in mind that there are more quality points available to lower-ranked players than to higher-ranked players. This means that Serena Williams, e.g., was abnormally low-ranked at Miami and earned a high rate of points as a result.)

1 Note that Slam quality points are doubled, giving artificially high values

“Top Players” 2002Early in 2000, the challenge was issued to define what constitutes a “Top Player.” After some discussion, those involved decided that a “Top Player” was one who met two of the following three criteria:1. Has reached at least one Grand Slam semifinal in the last three years.2. Has, during one of the last three years, defeated at least five Top Ten players during a single year.3. Has, during the last three years, won at least one tournament of Tier II or higher.The following table shows how well current players have done against these goals. The column labelled “Total Ach[ieved]” lists the total number of accomplishments met — i.e. it totals Slam semifinals, Tier II or higher titles, and increments of five Top Ten players defeated (i.e. if you beat five Top Ten players in a year, it adds one to your total; beat ten and you add two, etc. Remainders do not carry; if you beat eight in one year and seven in another, that counts as two, not three.) Note: Players below the Top 20 in 2001 were skipped, as none have accomplishments. Others years have been marked “X.”

From the above table, we can list players in order of “accomplishments.” Remember that this list is compiled over three years. Venus Williams, e.g., was not the most accomplished player of 2002 (obviously that honor goes to Serena), but over the three year span, she has been the most accomplished.Top Players:Player AccomplishmentsV.

Highest (year-end) score in a 17th Tournament : 59/Hénin. Record to this point: 215 (Martina Hingis, week of February 26, 2001)

Total points “in the system” (sum of the Best 17 scores of all ranked players): 152702.63. The Top 25 have 57424.75 of these, or 37.6%.

1. Note that this is really a decline — Slams are worth 130 more points for the winner this year than last, meaning that Serena’s score is actually less than 1040 points when compared against historical records

2. Unlike the preceding, the increases in these numbers are not simply point inflation; much is due to more events being player.

3. How can there be a .6? The WTA made a mistake, that’s how. Alexandra Srndovic, #498, is shown with 25.1 points.


The Year of the InjuryWhen the WTA went to the additive (“Best N”) ranking system, it did so against the wishes of the top players. They didn’t want to have to play the extra tournaments needed to succeed under Best N.

The players appear to have been right. It took a while, but injuries to top players have become routine. 2000 was the first “year of the injury.” The WTA responded by lowering the minimum from Best 18 to Best 17. This, predictably, didn’t help — it didn’t reduce the incentive to overplay, just the reward.

The following list attempts to tabulate top players’ injuries in 2002, with their effects. It lists the player, and her assorted injuries, plus the events she missed in consequence (this list necessarily somewhat uncertain, as it is based in part on past schedules and initial sign-ups) and the effect on her rankingPlayer Injury Weeks

DoublesAnalysing doubles is much more complex than singles, because of the complications of different teams — and also because some players play doubles much more often than others. Serena Williams, for instance, played thirteen singles tournaments but only three doubles tournaments.; similarly, Martina Hingis played twelve singles and five doubles events. Janette Husarova, by contrast, played 25 singles tournaments — and 29 doubles events. The following section, therefore, only sketches the state of doubles.

Individual Results: The Top Thirty Doubles Players/ResultsThis table is generally equivalent to the table of results in the section on singles, save that the format is somewhat simplified. The list shows each tournament the player played and the partner with whom she played. This is followed, in parenthesis, by the tier of the tournament, a notation showing how far the player advanced, and the number of wins her team had to reach that point.

Head-to-Heads — Team LossesHead-to-head records in doubles don’t mean much. It’s a much bigger achievement to beat Barbara Schett when she plays with Martina Hingis than when she plays with Magui Serna. As a result, no attempt is made to compile head-to-heads for doubles. Rather, the following lists show the opponents to whom the top doubles teams have lost this year. The first line of each section shows, in bold, the names the doubles team. This is followed by a summary of their results: Events played together, titles won, won/lost record, perhaps comments about withdrawals or Challenger results. The opponents who beat them, and the event at which this occurred, follow.

Alternate Doubles RankingsFor explanations of these rankings, see the equivalent section in singles. Because quality points are far less important in doubles (constituting roughly 20% of a player’s total, rather than nearly 40% as in singles), we calculate only the 1996 rankings and points per tournament.

The problem with a divisor in doubles is that the very best doubles players — Hingis, Davenport, Kournikova, the Williams Sisters — didn’t play full schedules. In the first three cases, injury played a part; in the latter two, well, doubles isn’t the first thing on their minds. We can’t do much about Venus and Davenport, who are unranked in doubles, but we can look at Hingis and Serena and Kournikova in light of their actual per-tournament results. It shouldn’t come as too great a surprise that we see the cream rising to the top. (It’s not really clear whether Hingis or Serena is the best; Serena played a richer schedule. But there isn’t much doubt that they are the Big Two.)

Majors RankingIn the singles section, we defined the ten WTA “Majors” (tournaments effectively all the top players play): Sydney, Australian Open, Ericsson, Rome, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, San Diego, U. S. Open, Filderstadt, and Munich. We can apply the same “majors ranking” in doubles: Five points for a title at these events, three for a final, one for a semifinal. If we do this, we can rank both teams and individuals. We start with the team rankings:

Doubles Team Majors Rankings23 teams managed at least one Major showing. The following table shows both the team ranking and the results in the various events.

* Team which qualified for Los Angeles. (Hingis/Kournikova and Hantuchova/Sanchez-Vicario qualified for Los Angeles but were unable to play, allowing Lee/Prakusya and Krizan/Srebotnik to play. Krizan/Srebotnik was the only team to go to Los Angeles without a major score; in 2001, there were three such teams)

Pisnik ended 2001 by reaching the Luxembourg semifinal. Can she do it again?December 31, 2001 — Gold Coast 1R: Anca Barna (Q) def. Rita Grande (6) 6–3 1–6 6–2

Grande’s odds of repeating her Top 25 showing of 2001 look dimmer as she loses to #116 Barna.January 1, 2002 — Gold Coast 2R: Nadia Petrova def. Meghann Shaughnessy (4) 6–4 4–6 6–3

Shaughnessy’s late 2001 slump continues with a loss that will cost her at least one ranking spotAuckland 1R: Selima Sfar def. Meilen Tu (6) 6–3 6–2

Auckland 2R: Anna Kournikova def. Amy Frazier (7) 6–4 6–1Poutchek thinks about a career high as Kournikova knocks out the last seed in the top half.

January 3 — Gold Coast QF: Daja Bedanova (7) def. Tina Pisnik 6–1 3–0 retiredBedanova breaks into the Top 25 and earns herself a Top 24 seed at the Australian Open.

What a tournament! The #15, #16, #20, and #23 players in the world are all unseeded — and all get upset in a single day.

January 8 — Sydney 1R: Henrieta Nagyova def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario 6–1 2–6 6–3Nagyova breaks back into the Top 25 with a surprise win over a former champion.

January 9 — Sydney 2R: Alexandra Stevenson (Q) def. Jennifer Capriati (1) 7–6(7–5) 3–6 6–4Three of the four players who posted first round upsets on January 7 lost in the next round. Stevenson breaks the trend and posts the biggest upset of her career.

January 10 — Hobart QF: Anabel Medina Garrigues def. Rita Grande (1) 6–2 6–2Grande won’t fall out of the Top Thirty this week, but this loss makes it likely she will next week.

January 11 — Sydney SF: Martina Hingis (2) def. Kim Clijsters (3) 7–5 4–6 6–2Meghann Shaughnessy (8) def. Serena Williams (4) 5–4, retired

Can Hingis finally win another title? Can Shaughnessy post her best career result? (She has, after all, beaten both Williamses in one year, a feat last accomplished by — Hingis.) Can Serena play Melbourne? Stay tuned.

January 12 — Sydney F: Martina Hingis (1) def. Meghann Shaughnessy (8) 6–2 6–3Where have you been so long?

January 14 — Australian Open 1R: Nathalie Déchy def. Sandrine Testud (9) 7–5 4–6 6–3Can Déchy finally spring back from her terrible 2001?


January 15 — Australian Open 1R: Iva Majoli def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (14) 6–4 7–5Is Majoli back, or is Sanchez-Vicario truly running out of steam? The Spaniard is 3–4 in her last four Slams.

January 16 — Australian Open 2R: Åsa Svensson def. Conchita Martinez 6–4 6–1Martinez forced out Serena Williams, beat the seed who replaced her in the draw — and now loses to a player ranked #104

January 17 — Australian Open 1R DOUBLES: Grant/Spears def. (2) Black/Likhovtseva 6–4 3–6 6–2The world’s #2 team goes out to a pair with a combined ranking of #234.

January 18 — Australian Open 3R: Adriana Serra Zanetti def. Silvia Farina Elia 6–2 4–6 6–4An all-Italian contest produces one of the biggest surprises yet in the singles draw.

January 19 — Australian Open 3R: Marlene Weingärtner def.Meghann Shaughnessy (10) 6–2 3–6 6–3

The bottom half of the doubles draw, already weakened by the loss of #2 Black/Likhovtseva, is now a complete joke — and the top half is stronger only in that it still has Hingis/Kournikova and Raymond/Stubbs.

January 21 — Australian Open 4R: Amélie Mauresmo (7) def. Marlene Weingärtner 6–0 4–6 7–5For a one-time finalist, Mauresmo looks strangely shaky.

January 22 — Australian Open QF: Monica Seles (8) def. Venus Williams (2) 6–7(4–7) 6–2 6–3An injured Venus still can’t win the big ones on Rebound Ace. For the moment, she is out of the race for #1; it will be Capriati or Davenport.

January 23 — Australian Open QF: Jennifer Capriati (1) def. Amélie Mauresmo (7) 6–2 6–2The big match turns out to be a big fizzle.

Who says women’s tennis is boring?

January 25 — Australian Open F DOUBLES: Hingis/Kournikova (8) def.Hantuchova/Sanchez-Vicario (13) 6–2 6–7(4–7) 6–1

Hingis spent too much time in the heat, but the Spice Girls have team Slam #2 and Hingis has doubles Slam #9.

January 26 — Australian Open F: Jennifer Capriati (1) def. Martina Hingis (3) 4–6 7–6(9–7) 6–2Hingis blows a 4–0 lead in the second set to give Capriati her third Slam and first title in half a year.

January 29 — Pan Pacific 1R DOUBLES: Seles/Testud (WC) def. Black/Likhovtseva (2) 6–1 6–3What has happened to Black and Likhovtseva? They’ve turned into corpses. (And Likhovtseva will lose in singles the next day, meaning she’s on a three-match losing streak. Plus the doubles losses.)

January 30 — Pan Pacific 2R: Martina Hingis (1) def. Marlene Weingärtner 6–1 6–2Hingis springs back better than she did after Roland Garros 1999. Is that good or bad?

January 31 — Pan Pacific 2R: Tamarine Tanasugarn def. Magdalena Maleeva (6) 6–3 2–6 6–2On a day when four of eight seeds lost, this was the most painful; Maleeva had big points to defend.


February 1 — Pan Pacific QF: Silvia Farina Elia (5) def. Sandrine Testud (4) 6–4 6–3Farina Elia hits a career high of #13 by beating Testud on Testud’s best surface.

February 2 — Pan Pacific SF: Martina Hingis (1) def. Silvia Farina Elia (5)Hingis reaches her third final in three tries in 2002, and earns the #3 ranking as a result.

February 3 — Pan Pacific F: Martina Hingis (1) def. Monica Seles (3) 7–6(8–6) 4–6 6–3Has Hingis put the Australian Open behind her?

February 5 — Paris 1R: Daniela Hantuchova def. Magdalena Maleeva (7) 7–5 6–4A tough start for Maleeva threatens her Top 20 ranking, as Hantuchova makes the Top 25 for the first time.

February 6 — Paris 1R: Nathalie Déchy def. Daja Bedanova 6–3 3–6 6–4Bedanova just can’t get it on track this year; that’s three straight losses.

February 7 — Paris 2R: Francesca Schiavone def. Daniela Hantuchova 6–2 7–5Paris 2R DOUBLES: Dementieva/Husarova def. Hantuchova/Likohovtseva 6–0 7–5Is this just Likhovtseva’s continued slump, or has Hantuchova caught the Losing Bug?

February 8 — Paris QF: Monica Seles (5) def. Justine Hénin (2) 6–4 6–3An upset, of sorts, but no big surprise. This assures that Seles will overtake Hénin in the rankings.

February 9 — Paris SF: Jelena Dokic (4) def. Monica Seles (5) 6–3 3–6 6–4Dokic reaches a career-high #6 with a surprise upset over Seles, who was widely picked for the final.

What a wonderful way to end a tournament....February 11 — Doha 1R: Anastasia Myskina def. Angeles Montolio (5) 6–2 4–6 6–1

Montolio continues to search for her first win of 2002February 12 — Doha 1R: Alicia Molik def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (3) 6–4 6–3

Sanchez-Vicario, like Montolio, has yet to win this yearFebruary 13 — Antwerp 2R: Daja Bedanova def. Daniela Hantuchova (8) 3–6 7–7(7–6) 6–4

The latest “Battle of the Kids” goes to Bedanova, whose win puts her back in the Top Thirty while holding Hantuchova out of the Top Twenty.

February 14 — Doha 2R: Janette Husarova def. Sandrine Testud (2) 7–6(7–5) 0–6 6–2An rusty and perhaps injured Testud loses, threatening her #11 ranking.

February 15 — Doha QF: Tamarine Tanasugarn (4) def. Maja Matevzic 6–4 3–6 6–2This win, combined with a loss by Daja Bedanova, absolutely clinches Tanasugarn’s Top 20 spot.

February 16 — Antwerp SF: Justine Hénin (2) def. Patty Schnyder 1–6 6–3 6–4So who does this say worse things about, Schnyder for coming apart in the second, or Hénin for having so much trouble with Schnyder?

February 17 — Antwerp F: Venus Williams (1) def. Justine Hénin (2) 6–3 5–7 6–3By winning, Venus assures herself the #1 spot — though she’ll have to wait a week to get it.

February 18 — Dubai 1R: Barbara Rittner def. Iroda Tulyaganova (5) 6–2 6–2Tulyaganova still can’t seem to solve hardcourts.

February 19 — Dubai 1R: Angeles Montolio (7) def. Camille Pin (Q) 6–3 2–6 6–2Memphis 2R: Alina Jidkova def. Amanda Coetzer (1) 6–3 7–7(7–5)

Montolio breaks a nine-match losing streak and hits a career high, while Coetzer’s loss puts Jidkova — who now has beaten two #1 seeds and a #2 this year — back in the Top 100.

February 20 — Bogota 2R: Fabiola Zuluaga (WC) def. Rita Kuti Kis (8) 6–3 6–2Zuluaga, coming back after a long struggle with injuries, deals Kuti Kis’s Top 100 ranking a fatal blow.

February 21 — Bogota 2R: Catalina Castano def. Gala Leon Garcia (2) 6–3 2–6 6–2For the second straight day, a Columbian upsets a seed. And this time, it isn’t a Columbian with an artificially low ranking.


February 22 — Dubai SF: Sandrine Testud (4) def. Venus Williams (1) 1–6 7–6(7–5) 6–4Venus will make #1 next week, but she won’t win the tournament — and will almost certainly lose the ranking after no more than three weeks. Testud sets a new and curious record: The last three times a new, never-before-#1 player has ascended to the top of the rankings, Testud has beaten that player in the very tournament where she took the top spot: She beat Lindsay Davenport at Filderstadt 1998, Jennifer Capriati at Filderstadt 2001, and now Venus

February 23 — Dubai F: Amélie Mauresmo (3) def. Sandrine Testud (4) 6–4 7–6(7–3)After a long dry spell, Mauresmo looks like a player again

February 24 — Bogota F: Fabiola Zuluaga (WC) def. Katarina Srebotnik 6–1 6–4Another player makes a comeback. Zuluaga hadn’t played a WTA event since late 2000.

February 25 — Scottsdale 1R: Francesca Schiavone (7) def. Elena Likhovtseva 6–4 6–3The slump just won’t end for Likhovtseva

February 26 — Scottsdale 1R DOUBLES: Black/Likhovtseva (2) def. Grant/McQuillan 6–2 7–5About time the world #3 and #4 won a match....

February 27 — Acapulco 2R: Janette Husarova def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (2) 3–6 6–2 6–3What is with the Spaniards? Conchita Martinez lost to Emilie Loit on Monday, and now Sanchez-Vicario drops to a record of 0-4 this year.

February 28 — Scottsdale 2R: Nathalie Déchy def. Meghann Shaughnessy (4) 7–5 6–2Acapulco QF: Paola Suarez (7) def. Amanda Coetzer (3) 6–3 6–4The Scottsdale defending finalist and the Acapulco defending champ fall on the same day. Coetzer’s ranking isn’t affected (yet), but Shaughnessy will fall to no better than #13.

March 1 — Acapulco SF: Paola Suarez (7) def. Elena Dementieva (1) 7–5 6–3Acapulco SF: Katarina Srebotnik def. Anna Kournikova 5–7 6–3 6–1Scottsdale QF: Nathalie Déchy def. Francesca Schiavone (7) 7–6(7–5) 6–4

The Russians still can’t win (at least Kournikova has the excuse of injury). Meanwhile, Déchy starts a drive back to #35.

March 2 — Acapulco F: Katarina Srebotnik def. Paola Suarez (7) 6–7(1–7) 6–4 6–2Srebotnik finally wins that second title, nearly three years after winning the title in her first WTA event.

March 3 — Scottsdale F: Serena Williams (3) def. Jennifer Capriati (1) 6–2 4–6 6–4Serena keeps sister Venus #1 for another two weeks.

March 4 — Indian Wells Qualifying 1R: Evgenia Koulikovskaya def. Alina Jidkova (1) 4–6 6–2 6–1Jidkova can beat Amanda Coetzer at Memphis, but she can’t beat a non-top-100 player in the desert.

March 6 — Indian Wells 1R: Lilia Osterloh def. Anna Kournikova 6–1 6–4Kournikova posts her first pure clunk (first round loss to a non-Top Ten player) of the year.

March 7 — Indian Wells 1R DOUBLES: de Beer/de Villiers def. Coetzer/McNeil 7–5 6–4Hingis/Kournikova withdrew before play began (replaced as seeds by Po-Messerli-Pratt)The big news was the match that didn’t happen, but the loss by Coetzer/McNeil, even though they were unseeded, was also a shock.

March 8 — Indian Wells 2R: Nathalie Déchy def. Kim Clijsters (1) 6–2 7–5Indian Wells 1R DOUBLES: Middleton/Rippner def. Navratilova/Zvereva (WC) 6–4 7–5Indian Wells 1R DOUBLES: Dulko/Sharapova (WC) def. Maleeva/Svensson 6–3 3–6 6–4These days, the usual way to obtain a top ranking is to wait for someone not to defend. So it proves here: Jennifer Capriati takes the #1 spot because Venus Williams is not playing, and now the loss by Kim Clijsters means that Martina Hingis will move up to #3 and Lindsay Davenport to #4. Meanwhile, Natasha Zvereva returns to doubles, but without success, while Maria Sharapova, who two days earlier made her singles debut with a win (though she lost the next day to Seles) also earns a win in her doubles debut — though both wins involved very weak opponents.

March 9 — Indian Wells 2R: Eva Dyrberg (Q) def. Magdalena Maleeva (11) 6–2 6–3Maleeva isn’t a hardcourt player, but losing to a 22-year-old qualifier ranked #105?


March 10 — Indian Wells 3R: Anne Kremer (26) def. Jelena Dokic (5) 6–3 6–0Dokic has lost to Kremer twice this year; has she hit the wall or has Kremer found her secret?

March 11 — Indian Wells 4R: Daniela Hantuchova (18) def. Justine Hénin (3) 6–3 6–3On a day of upsets (four of eight matches were won by the lower-ranked player, including Smashnova def. Shaughnessy, Sanchez-Vicario def. Farina Elia), this was clearly the biggest

March 12 — Indian Wells QF: Daniela Hantuchova (18) def. Lisa Raymond (12) 6–4 6–2Hantuchova makes her way into the Top Twenty — bumping none other than Raymond.

March 13 — Indian Wells QF: Monica Seles (4) def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (9) 6–3 3–6 6–3Who says Sanchez-Vicario is all washed up?

March 14 — Indian Wells SF: Daniela Hantuchova def. Emmanuelle Gagliardi 4-6 6-0 6-4Indian Wells SF: Martina Hingis (2) def. Monica Seles (4) 6–3 6–2

Hingis establishes a big lead in this year’s Race with her first easy win over Seles in quite a while, while Hantuchova reaches her first-ever WTA final at one of the biggest events on the circuit.

March 15 — Indian Wells F DOUBLES: Raymond/Stubbs (1) def. Dementieva/Husarova 7–5 6–0Dementieva still can’t win anything, and Raymond/Stubbs still have only one loss this year — to Hingis/Kournikova at the Australian Open.

March 16 — Indian Wells F: Daniela Hantuchova (18) def. Martina Hingis (2) 6–3 6–4Hantuchova already had three breakthroughs in this event (best ever win, first final, first time in the Top Twenty). Make it four as she earns her first career title.

March 20 — Ericsson 1R: Vanessa Webb (Q) def. Magui Serna 6–3 6–2Serna’s up-and-down results hit a new low for a “down” as she loses to a qualifier ranked #184. Serna has lost six straight.

March 21 — Ericsson 1R: Greta Arn (Q) def. Amy Frazier 6–4 6–2Ericsson 1R: Eleni Daniilidou def. Anna Kournikova 7–5 6–3

How much longer can Frazier keep up this string of weak stuff? And what’s wrong with Kournikova this time? Or has Daniilidou taken the next step?

March 22 — Ericsson 2R: Tatiana Poutchek def. Nathalie Déchy (31) 6–3 0–6 6–0Ericsson 2R: Marissa Irvin def. Daja Bedanova (20) 7–6(7–5) 6–2

Looks like Bedanova is in another of her slumps. As for Déchy — how could we resist that score?March 23 — Ericsson 2R: Anna Smashnova def. Justine Hénin (6) 6–7(6–8) 6–3 6–4

Ericsson 2R: Cara Black def. Daniela Hantuchova 4–6 6–4 6–2Hantuchova’s celebration comes to a quick end, and Henin still has trouble on hardcourt.

March 24 — Ericsson 3R: Anne Kremer (26) def. Jelena Dokic (7) 6–3 6–1Marissa Irvin def. Meghann Shaughnessy (10) 4–6 6–3 6–4

A tired and injured Dokic suffers her third loss this year to Kremer, and who knows what’s with Shaughnessy?

March 25 — Ericsson 4R: Tatiana Panova (28) def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (11) 6–1 7–6(10–8)Panova hits the Top 25 for the first time.

March 26 — Ericsson 2R DOUBLES: Lee/Prakusya def. (2) Black/Likhovtseva 6–7(5–7) 6–4 7–5On a day when rain cancelled every singles match except a ragged win by Venus Williams over Elena Dementieva (5–7 6–3 6–2), the #2 doubles seeds once again fall to a team they should be able to handle.

March 27 — Ericsson QF: Serena Williams (8) def. Martina Hingis (3) 6–4 6–0For the first time, both Hingis and her lead in the Race start to look truly shaky. And she will bail out of the doubles (for the fourth time in five events initially entered) the next day

March 28 — Ericsson SF: Serena Williams (8) def. Venus Williams (2) 6–2 6–2Serena posts her first-ever real win over big sister — grabbing the #7 ranking with it.

March 29 — Ericsson SF DOUBLES: Raymond/Stubbs (1) def. Arendt/L. Huber 6–7(4–7) 7–5 6–2Surprise, surprise: With Hingis/Kournikova out of the doubles, Raymond/Stubbs make another final.


March 30 — Ericsson F: Serena Williams (8) def. Jennifer Capriati (1) 7–5 7–6(7–4)Having beaten Venus, Serena wasn’t about to lose the title. A Williams has won four of the last five Miami tournaments.

March 31 — Ericsson F DOUBLES: Raymond/Stubbs (1) def. Ruano Pascual/Suarez7-6(7–4) 6–7(4–7) 6–4

Will Raymond and Stubbs ever lose again? (Probably depends on whether they continue to be the only top doubles players active.)

April 1 — Sarasota 1R: Jelena Dokic (1) def. Conchita Martinez 6–2 7–5Martinez can’t even beat an injured Dokic on clay. What does that say for the future?

April 2 — Sarasota 1R: Mary Pierce def. Ai Sugiyama (7) 6–3 6–3Janette Husarova def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (3) 6–4 6–1

Pierce, it would appear, is back. As for Sanchez-Vicario, all we can say is, “Huh?”April 3 — Sarasota 2R: Patty Schnyder def. Henrieta Nagyova (9) 6–2 3–6 6–2

Nagyova continues to slide as Schnyder looks much fitter than in times past.April 4 — Sarasota 2R: Anastasia Myskina def. Mary Pierce (WC) 6–4 3–6 7–6(7–4)

Has Myskina improved, or is Pierce not come all the way back? Reports are that Pierce was fine, so Myskina must be moving forward.

April 5 — Sarasota QF: Virginie Razzano (LL) def. Paola Suarez 6–2 4–6 6–4Razzano couldn’t even get through qualifying, and now she’s beaten Déchy, Ruano Pascual, and Suarez on clay?

April 6 — Sarasota SF: Tatiana Panova (10) def. Meghann Shaughnessy (2) 7–6(11–9) 6–4Panova reaches the best final of her career as Shaughnessy continues her weak year.

April 7 — Sarasota F: Jelena Dokic (1) def. Tatiana Panova (10) 6–2 6–2Panova could have made the Top Twenty, but doesn’t even make it competitive.

April 8 — Amelia Island 1R: Iva Majoli def. Amanda Coetzer (11) 6–2 6–1It was a day so strange that Anne Kremer beat Jennifer Hopkins on a court with the service lines drawn wrong, but this has to be the biggest surprise.

April 9 — Amelia Island 2R: Anne Kremer def. Amélie Mauresmo (4) 3–6 6–2 6–3Splat! goes the defending champion. Whatever Mauresmo had last year seems to have gone missing.

April 10 — Amelia Island 2R: Nathalie Déchy def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (8) 6–2 6–2Her second straight opening lost costs Sanchez-Vicario her spot in the Top Fifteen.

April 11 — Amelia Island 2R: Jelena Dokic (3) def. Mary Pierce (WC) 6–2 6–0Dokic, with her match delayed more than a day by rain, wastes no time in showing who is the bigger big babe on clay.

April 12 — Amelia Island 1R DOUBLES: Coetzer/Steck def. Raymond/Stubbs (1) 6–3 0–6 7–6(7–5)This may be the Upset of the Year. And nobody even noticed. (Of course, two days of rain delays meant that a lot was still going on.)

April 13 — Amelia Island QF: Anne Kremer def. Sandrine Testud (5) 7–5 6–1Taking advantage of fitness and rain delays, Kremer puts herself all the way up to #21

April 14 — Amelia Island F: Venus Williams (1) def. Justine Hénin 2–6 7–5 7–6(7–5)Henin’s epic choke (she served for the match in both the second and third sets) gives Venus her fourth title of the year.

April 15 — Charleston 1R: Meilen Tu def. Tatiana Panova (15) 6–3 6–4All three seeds in action this day lost, but this was the most improbable lost — and the most lopsided.

April 16 — Charleston 1R: Ai Sugiyama def. Anne Kremer 3–6 6–4 6–3Charleston 2R: Clarissa Fernandez (Q) def. Silvia Farina Elia (9) 7–6(7–4) 6–0

For Kremer, it’s easy come, easy go; one week after hitting #21, she falls to #22. For Farina Elia, could this be reality setting in?


April 17 — Charleston 2R: Stephanie Foretz (Q) def. Conchita Martinez 6–1 6–2Six seeds fell on this day (meaning that nine of fifteen failed to reach the Round of Sixteen), but it was Martinez, a semifinalist last year, who had the most on the line. She will end barely in the Top Fifty.

April 18 — Charleston 3R: Stephanie Foretz (Q) def. Monica Seles (2) 6–4 7–6(8–6)Seles was sick, and that explains a lot — but still....

April 19 — Charleston QF: Patty Schnyder def. Serena Williams (3) 2–6 6–4 7–5Sundry conclusions: 1. Schnyder is back. 2. Serena still can’t play clay. 3. Hingis somehow manages to stay Top 4. Lindsay Davenport, though, is down to #7.,

April 20 — Charleston SF: Patty Schnyder def. Jennifer Capriati (1) 6–4 6–3With three Top Ten wins and a Tier I final, Schnyder loudly announces her return. She also boots Capriati out of the #1 ranking.

April 21 — Charleston F: Iva Majoli def. Patty Schnyder 7–6(7–5) 6–4Schnyder’s amazing run puts her in the Top Twenty, but Majoli is the one with her first title in five years.

April 27 — Fed Cup R16: Evelyn Fauth def. Jennifer Capriati, WalkoverNo one quite knows what happened, but Billie Jean King and Capriati aren’t on the best terms right now....

April 28 — Fed Cup R16: Barbara Schwartz def. Meghann Shaughnessy 4–6 7–6(9–7) 9–7And so the U. S. loses behind two heroic wins by Schwartz (who also beat Monica Seles) and a fair bit of team insanity.

April 30 — Bol 1R: Henrieta Nagyova (6) def. Maja Matevzic 7–6(7–5) 6–2Bol 1R: Anna Kournikova def. Julia Vakulenko 6–7(3–7) 6–2 6–2

Two players in dreadful slumps both take the first step toward breaking out.May 1 — Bol 1R: Maria Sanchez Lorenzo (Q) def. Angeles Montolio (5) 6–2 6–2

The defending champion falls easily — and hard; she’ll drop more than ten places in the rankings.May 2 — Bol 2R: Åsa Svensson def. Magdalena Maleeva (3) 7–5 6–3

A weak year and her standard bad clay results boot Maleeva from the Top 25.May 3 — Bol QF: Tathiana Garbin def. Elena Dementieva (1) 5–7 7–5 7–5

Dementieva boots another one.May 4 — Hamburg SF: Venus Williams (1) def. Martina Hingis (3) 7–5 6–3

Even on Venus’s worst surface, Hingis can’t make a dent.May 5 — Hamburg F: Kim Clijsters (2) def. Venus Williams (1) 1–6 6–3 6–4

It’s a bit strong to say that Venus looks vulnerable this year — but she has lost half the tournaments she’s entered!

May 6 — Berlin 1R: Angelika Roesch (Q) def. Elena Dementieva (12) 6–4 1–6 7–5No, we don’t know what Dementieva’s problem is.

May 7 — Berlin 1R: Daja Bedanova def. Amanda Coetzer (15) 6–3 1–0, retiredA bad end to a bad clay season kicks Coetzer out of the Top 30.

May 8 — Berlin 2R: Anna Smashnova def. Kim Clijsters (2) 5–7 6–4 7–5Exhaustion, or shades of 2001?

May 9 — Berlin 3R: Daniela Hantuchova (11) def. Jelena Dokic (6) 6–2 6–3Either Hantuchova continues to improve, or Dokic is really out of gas.

May 10 — Berlin QF: Serena Williams (4) def. Amélie Mauresmo (7), walkoverBerlin QF: Anna Smashnova def. Daniela Hantuchova (11) 1–6 6–2 6–3

Mauresmo falls out of the Top Ten without a struggle, while Smashnova has cut her ranking by 40%.May 11 — Berlin SF: Justine Hénin (5) def. Jennifer Capriati (1) 5–7 6–2 6–1

A rain delay in the second set gives Hénin another shot at a big title, and costs Capriati her chance to regain the #1 ranking.


May 12 — Berlin F: Justine Hénin (5) def. Serena Williams (4) 6–2 1–6 7–6(7–4)Hénin breaks her major title jinx and continues Serena’s clay jinx.

May 13 — Rome 1R: Åsa Svensson def. Meghann Shaughnessy (10) 6–3 6–3The disaster continues for Shaughnessy, who now has lost five straight.

May 14 — Rome 2R: Anna Kournikova def. Lilia Osterloh (LL) 6–1 4–6 6–1What matters is not the score, nor that it’s a win for Kournikova. What matters is who she didn’t play: Venus Williams. Williams pulled out, opening the possibility that Jennifer Capriati will regain #1.

May 15 — Rome 2R: Denisa Chladkova (Q) def. Conchita Martinez 6–4 4–6 7–5And so Martinez leaves the Top 50....

May 16 — Rome 3R: Anastasia Myskina def. Jelena Dokic (6) 5–7 6–4 6–3Myskina finally hits the Top Thirty, while Dokic fails in her first attempt at a title defence

May 17 — Rome QF: Jennifer Capriati (2) def. Amélie Mauresmo (7) 6–2 3–6 6–4Capriati regains the #1 ranking, and takes the #1 spot in the WTA Race.

May 18 — Rome SF: Serena Williams (4) def. Jennifer Capriati (2) 6–2 3–6 7–5Rome SF: Justine Hénin (5) def. Kim Clijsters (3) 7–5 6–2

Hénin cures her Clijsters problem, and gets a rematch against Serena, who reaches a career high of #3.May 19 — Rome F: Serena Williams (4) def. Justine Hénin (5) 7–6(8–6) 6–4

Serena finally gets her first clay titleMay 20 — Strasbourg 1R DOUBLES: Freye/Hiraki def. Foretz/Tauziat 6–4 6–2

Look who’s back (even if it didn’t turn out too well)!May 21 — Strasbourg 1R: Eleni Daniilidou def. Iroda Tulyaganova (4) 6–7(3–7) 7–5 7–5

Tulyaganova just can’t seem to win this year.May 22 — Madrid 2R: Chanda Rubin def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (2) 6–3 7–6(8–6)

And so Sanchez-Vicario falls out of the Top 25.May 23 — Madrid QF: Chanda Rubin def. Magui Serna 6–3 6–3

With her third straight win against players ranked above her, Rubin moves back into the Top 50.May 24 — Madrid SF DOUBLES — Navratilova/Zvereva def. C. Fernandez/Grande 7–6(7–4)

It’s been a tournament of coming from nowhere. Not only did Chanda Rubin make the final, but Navratilova and Zvereva, after disappointing results in their first few events together, do the same.

May 25 — Madrid F DOUBLES — Navratilova/Zvereva def.Neffa-de los Rios/Sanchez-Vicario 6–2 6–3

Who would have believed this? A team with a combined age of 76 winning a doubles title....May 27 — Roland Garros 1R: Paola Suarez def. Sandrine Testud (8) 2–6 7–5 6–1

Not really a huge surprise, given the surface — but still the biggest upset of a rain-interrupted day.May 28 — Roland Garros 1R: Aniko Kapros (Q) def. Justine Hénin (5) 4–6 6–1 6–0

A sick Hénin loses the match, her semifinalist points, and her Top 5 ranking.Mau 29 — Roland Garros 1R: Marta Marrero def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (15) 6–0 6–1

“Thy glory, O Israel, is slain upon thy high places! How are the mighty fallen! Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon....”

May 30 — Roland Garros 1R DOUBLES: Rittner/Vento-Kabchi def.Hantuchova/Sanchez-Vicario (4) 6–3 6–4

This pretty well clinches it: Sanchez-Vicario will never complete the career doubles Slam.May 31 — Roland Garros 3R: Clarisa Fernandez def. Kim Clijsters (4) 6–4 6–0

What is there to say except that Clijsters will be falling to #5?June 1 — Roland Garros 3R: Vera Zvonareva (Q) def. Francesca Schiavone 6–2 6–7(4–7) 7–5

One of the strangest matches of the event — Zvonareva had match points in the second, fell behind in the third, and still won. Is she a potential great, or a potential candidate for the funny farm?

June 2 — Roland Garros 4R: Paola Suarez def. Amélie Mauresmo (10) 6–2 2–6 6–4How many more strange ways will Mauresmo find to lose this year?


June 3 — Roland Garros 2R DOUBLES: Fujiwara/Sugiyama (15) def.Black/Likhovtseva (3) 7-6(7-3) 6-3

Has Sugiyama finally found a decent doubles partner?June 4 — Roland Garros QF: Clarisa Fernandez def. Paola Suarez 2–6 7–6(7–5) 6–1

The Kid from Nowhere is now #34 in the world....June 6 — Roland Garros SF: Serena Williams (3) def. Jennifer Capriati (1) 3–6 7–6(7–2) 6–2

And so Capriati goes from #1 to #3, while Serena reaches a career-high #2.June 7 — Roland Garros SF DOUBLES: Raymond/Stubbs (1) def.

Fujiwara/Sugiyama (15) 6–1 6–7(5–7) 6–2One match away from the Career Slam....

June 8 — Roland Garros F: Serena Williams (3) d. Venus Williams (2) 7–5 6–3Not only does Serena win her second Slam, but she’s threatening to take the #1 ranking

June 9 — Roland Garros F DOUBLES: Ruano Pascual/Suarez (2) def.Raymond/Stubbs (1) 6–4 6–2

No career Slam for Raymond and Stubbs, and Ruano Pascual and Suarez become the first players to defend a Slam since Hingis at the 1999 Australian Open; they’re the first team since Fernandez/Zvereva at the 1996 U. S. Open.

June 12 — Birmingham 2R: Jill Craybas def. Tamarine Tanasugarn (4) 2–6 6–4 6–2Anne Kremer (7) def. Miriam Oremans 6–4 7–5

Could several days of rain have turned the grass to clay? This loss kills Tanasugarn’s hopes of a Top 16 seed at Roland Garros, and will drop last year’s finalist Oremans out of the Top 100.

June 13 — Vienna 2R: Patricia Wartusch (Q) def. Silvia Farina Elia (1) 7–5 6–4Nowthat is home-court advantage with a vengeance (Wartusch is Austrian)

June 14 — Birmingham QF: Nicole Pratt (14) def. Anne Kremer (7) 3–6 6–2 6–3Pratt reaches only her third career semifinal, and with it earns a Wimbledon seed.

June 15 — Birmingham SF: (6) Anastasia Myskina def. (14) Nicole Pratt 6–3 7–5No mistake this time: Myskina is definitely Top Twenty.

June 16 — Vienna F: (4) Anna Smashnova def. (2) Iroda Tulyaganova 6–4 6–1Smashnova finally hits the Top Twenty.

June 17 — Eastbourne 1R: Ai Sugiyama def. Mary Pierce 6–4 6–4Not an upset, based on current rankings — but Sugiyama maintains her strange hex on Pierce.

June 18 — Eastbourne 1R: Martina Navratilova (WC) def. Tatiana Panova 6–1 4–6 6–2It means nothing, and it won’t happen again — but who would have believed it?

June 19 — Eastbourne 2R: Chanda Rubin def. Magui Serna 6–2 6–2Rubin wins her third match of the year against Serna, and drops the defending finalist out of the Top Fifty.

June 20 — ’s-Hertogenbosch QF: Tina Pisnik def. Kim Clijsters (1) 7–6(7–5) 6–2We knew Pisnik was having a good year, but this is ridiculous.

June 21 — ’s-Hertogenbosch SF: Eleni Daniilidou def. Justine Hénin (2) 4–6 7–6(11–9) 6–3Could we have a new star on our hands?

June 22 — Eastbourne F: Chanda Rubin def. Anastasia Myskina 6–1 6–3In only her fifth event of the year, due to long injury, Rubin wins her best career title and breaks back into the Top Thirty.

June 24 — Wimbledon 1R: Mary Pierce def. Alicia Molik 6–4 4–6 8–6Good grass-courter in a slump against a much better player who is on the rise but who hates grass. Pierce came in #74, Molik, #73. No wonder it was close.

June 25 — Wimbledon 1R: Angelique Widjaja def. Anna Smashnova (15) 6–3 6–2Junior Wimbledon champ vs. grass-hater. For once, Junior results meant something.


June 26 — Wimbledon 2R: Miriam Oremans def. Meghann Shaughnessy (16) 7–5 6–3This pretty well tears it: Shaughnessy is on her way out of the Top Twenty

June 27 — Wimbledon 2R: Elena Likhovtseva def. Kim Clijsters (5) 7–6(7–5) 6–2Too crazy. This opens a real chance that Clijsters will lose the #5 ranking to Jelena Dokic.

June 28 — Wimbledon 3R: Laura Granville (Q) def. Mary Pierce 3–6 6–4 6–1OK, Pierce hates grass, but this? Granville came in ranked #134. She’ll end around #91.

June 29 — Wimbledon 2R Doubles: Kournikova/Rubin def. Arendt/L. Huber (7) 6–4 7–5Martinez/Pierce def. Capriati/Hantuchova (16) 6–4 6–4

Ladies and gentlemen, we present the Wimbledon seeding committee, which took the #16 seed from Kournikova/Rubin, with a combined three Slams and 25, to give it to a team featuring Jennifer Capriati of the zero doubles Slams and one career doubles title.

July 1 — Wimbledon 3R Doubles: Po-Messerli/Tauziat (5) def. Fujiwara/Sugiyama 3-6 6-4 6-3And so Sugiyama falls out of the Top Fifteen — and maybe out of the Top Twenty

July 2 — Wimbledon QF: Justine Hénin (6) def. Monica Seles (4) 7–5 7–6(7–4)And so Seles again fails at Wimbledon

July 3 — Wimbledon QF: Amélie Mauresmo (9) def. Jennifer Capriati (3) 6–3 6–2Mauresmo breaks back into the Top Ten as Capriati’s cranky streak continues.

July 4 — Wimbledon SF: Serena Williams (2) def. Amélie Mauresmo (9) 6–2 6–1Helped by a truly feeble match from Mauresmo, Serena clinches the #1 ranking.

July 5 — Wimbledon QF DOUBLES: Williams/Williams (3) def. Krizan/Srebotnik 6–2 6–0And so, the Sisters will play semifinal doubles right after playing the singles final

July 6 — Wimbledon F: Serena Williams (2) d. Venus Williams (1) 7–6(7–4) 6–3And so Serena wins her third Slam and looks like a good bet for year-end #1.

July 7 — Wimbledon F DOUBLES: Williams/Williams (3) def. Ruano Pascual/Suarez (2) 6–2 7–5And so, another final between teams who don’t know what grass doubles means goes to the team with the power and the speed.

July 8 — Brussels 1R: Myriam Casanova (WC) def. Cristina Torrens Valero (3) 7–6(7–5) 6–2This Casanova kid sure looks like one to watch.

July 9 — Brussels 1R: Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (1) def. Denisa Chladkova 6–3 3–6 6–0Could Sanchez-Vicario actually be getting it together?

July 10 — Palermo 2R: Vera Zvonareva (5) def. Bianka Lamade 7–6(7–2) 6–0No matter what you think of her antics, the kid keeps climbing.

July 11 — Brussels 2R: Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (1) def. Gala Leon Garcia 6–2 6–3An insignificant result on an insignificant day — but it puts Sanchez-Vicario back in the Top Thirty.

July 12 — Brussels QF: Virginia Ruano Pascual (6) def. Barbara Schett (2) 6–4 3–6 6–1Is it just me, or is Schett going to pieces? She’s had three losses to players ranked below #80 — and all since Roland Garros.

July 13 — Brussels SF: Myriam Casanova (WC) def. Virginia Ruano Pascual (6) 6–2 3–6 6–2After three WTA events, Casanova has two finals and a Wimbledon third round loss to Hénin. Sound like this kid is going places?

July 14 — Brussels F: Myriam Casanova (WC) def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (1) 4–6 6–2 6–1A triumph for Casanova, who wins her first title, or a disaster for Sanchez-Vicario?

July 20 — Fed Cup Relegation: Lindsay Davenport def. Anna Smashnova 6–3 6–3One big name back.

July 22 — Sopot 1R: Joanna Sakowicz (WC) def. Cristina Torrens Valero (5) 6–2 7–6(10–8)The defending champion’s loss is likely to drop her below #60.

July 23 — Stanford 1R: Marissa Irvin (Q) def. Justine Hénin (6) 6–2 4–6 6–1Anna Kournikova def. Anna Smashnova (8) 6–3 6–2

Looks like Kournikova has found something. And Henin, perhaps, has lost it....


July 24 — Stanford 2R: Lindsay Davenport (2) def. Anne Kremer (Q) 6–3 6–0And so Davenport is truly and officially back. We might note also that Kremer hits the Top 20 for the first time.

July 25 — Stanford 2R: Venus Williams (1) def. Meghann Shaughnessy 6–4 6–1And so Shaughnessy’s year-long slump finally drops her out of the Top Twenty.

July 26 — Stanford QF: Lisa Raymond def. Monica Seles (3) 6–4 6–2Is Seles getting tired after a full year without major injury? It’s her second-world loss of the year and puts Raymond in the Top 25.

July 27 — Stanford SF: Kim Clijsters (4) def. Lindsay Davenport (2) 4–6 6–4 6–2Not properly an upset, since Clijsters is ranked higher (Davenport was seeded based on a special ranking), but perhaps evidence of improved planning and preparation by Clijsters

July 28 — Stanford F: Venus Williams (1) def. Kim Clijsters (4) 6–3 6–3And so Venus gets title #5 of 2002, bumping Clijsters to #7 — her worst ranking of the year.

July 29 — San Diego 1R DOUBLES —Rubin/Shaughnessy def. Morariu/Po-Messerli (WC) 6–2 3–6 7–5

Yes, it’s a loss, but who cares? Morariu is back.July 30 — San Diego 1R: Ai Sugiyama def. Lisa Raymond 7–5 6–0

Turnabout is fair play: Last week, Raymond beat Sugiyama. They also split matches at Memphis and Scottsdale. That’s what happens with two players with such similar careers meet four times in a year.

July 31 — San Diego 2R: Ai Sugiyama def. Daniela Hantuchova (7) 6–4 1–6 7–5In one of the all-time strangest outcomes, Sugiyama beats Hantuchova when Hantuchova, who is serving, is called for a time penalty on match point.

August 1 — San Diego QF DOUBLES: Suarez/Tulyaganova def. Raymond/Stubbs (1) 6–4 6–4Raymond/Stubbs suffer their first non-Slam non-clay loss of the year!

August 2 — San Diego QF: Jelena Dokic (6) def. Jennifer Capriati (2) 2–6 6–2 6–4The best win of Dokic’s career serves also to confirm Capriati’s miseries.

August 3 — San Diego SF: Venus Williams (1) def. Lindsay Davenport (3) 5–2 6–1Let’s hope this is a token of Davenport’s rust and not how the Williams Sisters tower above the rest of the Tour.

August 4 — San Diego F: Venus Williams (1) def. Jelena Dokic (6) 6–2 6–2It was at least as ugly as you think, but it gets Venus title #6 of the year.

Los Angeles 1R: Marie-Gaianeh Mikaelian def. Corina Morariu (WC) 3–6 6–3 7–5Morariu makes her return in singles, and if it isn’t a win, it’s a pretty good result after a year in which she almost died.

August 5 — Los Angeles 1R DOUBLES: Morariu/Po-Messerli def. (4) Krizan/Srebotnik 6–2 6–1And so, after a misfire in singles and one in doubles, Morariu wins her first match.

August 6 — Los Angeles 2R: Katarina Srebotnik def. Kim Clijsters (6) 6–4 2–6 6–4Clijsters seems to make a habit of one lousy loss on California hardcourts each year. This one drops her to #7.

August 7 — Los Angeles 2R: Eleni Daniilidou def. Daniela Hantuchova (6) 6–4 6–2More evidence of Daniilidou’s rise, or of Hantuchova’s fragility? (Answer from a day later: Well, Daniilidou beat Anne Kremer in the next round....)

August 8 — Los Angeles 3R: Ai Sugiyama def. Amanda Coetzer 6–2 6–1Sugiyama should have been a California Girl; a day after beating Dementieva, she knocks off Coetzer

August 9 — Los Angeles QF: Chanda Rubin (12) def. Serena Williams (1) 6–2 4–6 7–5Los Angeles QF: Ai Sugiyama def. Jennifer Capriati (3) 6–3 6–3

Capriati’s loss is not that surprising; she just keeps sinking. But what happened to Serena?August 10 — Los Angeles SF: Chanda Rubin (12) def. Jelena Dokic (4) 6–0 6–2

Rubin is rollin’....


August 11 — Los Angeles F: Chanda Rubin (12) def. Lindsay Davenport (3) 5–7 7–6(7–5) 6–3Clearly Rubin has taken her game to a new level.

August 12 — Canadian Open 1R: Henrieta Nagyova (Q) def. Mary Pierce (WC)7–6(9–7) 6–7(4–7) 7–5

Not technically an upset (Nagyova came in #45, Pierce #49) — but it’s three straight losses for Pierce.August 13 — Canadian Open 2R: Martina Hingis (6) def. Magui Serna (Q) 6–4 6–3

Another big name returns to the game.August 14 — Canadian Open 2R DOUBLES: Clijsters/Dokic def. Raymond/Stubbs (1) 4–6 6–2 6–3

That’s six wins in a row for the baseline bashers — but what happened to Raymond/Stubbs?August 15 — Canadian Open 3R: Barbara Schett def. Kim Clijsters (4) 6–4 6–4

Finally, Schett seems to be coming back to life.August 16 — Canadian Open QF: Jelena Dokic (3) def. Martina Hingis (6) 6–4 6–3

Not the comeback Hingis would have liked, but we’ve seen worse returns to the Tour.August 17 — Canadian Open SF: Jennifer Capriati (2) def. Jelena Dokic (3) 7–6 (7–5) 4–0

With Dokic finally paying the much deserved price for idiotic overscheduling, Capriati makes her first final since the spring.

August 18 — Canadian Open F: Amélie Mauresmo (7) d. Jennifer Capriati (2) 6–4 6–1Capriati flubs yet another one.

August 19 — New Haven 1R: Angelika Roesch (Q) def. Elena Dementieva (8) 6-3 1-6 6-3Makes you wonder how Dementieva manages to stay Top Fifteen, doesn’t it?

August 20 — New Haven 1R DOUBLES: Garbin/Husarova def. Raymond/Stubbs (1) 6–4 7–6(7–2)What is going on here? That’s three straight losses for Raymond/Stubbs

August 21 — New Haven 2R: Anastasia Myskina def. Justine Hénin (4) 7–5 6–2Hardcourt just isn’t Hénin’s surface.

August 22 — New Haven QF: Anastasia Myskina def. Martina Hingis (5) 6–7(2–7) 6–4 6–0How to give your fans heart attacks: Hingis lost the last eleven games straight.

August 23 — New Haven SF: Lindsay Davenport (2) def. Anastasia Myskina 6–2 6–2The only surprise is how routine it was.

August 24 — New Haven F: Venus Williams (1) def. Lindsay Davenport (2) 7–5 6–0Davenport had a chance, but she stopped trying. For Venus, it’s four straight titles at New Haven.

August 26 — U. S. Open 1R: Marion Bartoli (Q) def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (25) 6–3 6–1This is the worst yet for Sanchez-Vicario; Bartoli came in ranked #231!

August 27 — U. S. Open 1R: Paola Suarez (32) def. Mary Pierce 7–6(7–3) 6–3On a day when only one women’s seed (#28 Daniilidou) was upset, this was as close as the women came to news. And it wasn’t really a big surprise; Suarez in in much better form than Pierce.

August 28 — U. S. Open 2R: Elena Bovina def. Jelena Dokic (5) 6–3 6–2It couldn’t happen to a nicer Serb ultra-nationalist right-wing dimwit.

August 29 — U. S. Open 2R: Martina Hingis (9) def. Antonella Serra Zanetti (Q) 6–4 6–1You can’t see it in the score, but you could see it in her game: Hingis has to clean up the errors.

August 30 — U. S. Open 3R: Francesca Schiavone def. Tatiana Panova (22) 3–6 6–4 6–3Schiavone defeats her second straight Russian seed (she also beat Elena Dementieva) to get her year back on track. She’s almost ready to return to the Top Thirty.

August 31 — U. S. Open 3R: Amy Frazier def. Magdalena Maleeva (16) 3–6 6–2 6–2Behold the power of surfaces! On a day when all else was routine, hardcourt specialist Frazier beat indoor specialist Maleeva despite a difference of 56 ranking positions.

September 1 — U. S. Open R16: Serena Williams (1) def. Daja Bedanova (20) 6–1 6–1On a day when it rained for all but about an hour, naturally the only match completed was a blowout.

September 2 — U. S. Open R16: Daniela Hantuchova (11) def. Justine Hénin (8) 6–1 3–6 7–6(7–4)Once again, the power of Big Babedom is shown on hardcourts.


September 3 — U. S. Open R16: Monica Seles (6) def. Martina Hingis (9) 6–4 6–2Hingis will fall to #10, her lowest ranking in about six years.

September 4 — U. S. Open QF: Amelie Mauresmo (10) def. Jennifer Capriati (3) 4–6 7–6(7–5) 6–3Capriati finds another way to lose — in this case, being broken while serving for the match in the second set, then flubbing the tiebreak. It’s Slam semifinal #2 of the year for Mauresmo.

September 5 — U. S. Open SF DOUBLES: Ruano Pascual/Suarez (2) def. Petrova/Pratt 6–1 6–3One day after beating Hingis/Kournikova, the best team in the draw, the Roland Garros champions make it three straight Slam finals. Can they really win a Slam on hardcourts?

September 6 — U. S. Open SF DOUBLES: Dementieva/Husarova (6) def.Black/Likhovtseva (3) 7–5 6–1

With both Williams sisters in another boring final, this was clearly the most interesting match of the day as it puts Dementieva and Husarova at career highs.

September 7 — U. S. Open F: Serena Williams (1) def. Venus Williams (2) 6–4 6–3Will one of these two ever retire so we can get a halfway decent Slam final?

September 8 — U. S. Open F DOUBLES:Ruano Pascual/Suarez (2) def. Dementieva/Husarova 6–2 6–1

For a team that, until this year, had never won a significant title away from clay, Ruano Pascual and Suarez — who win their second Slam of the year — sure are having a great season.

September 9 — Bahia 1R: Maja Matevzic def. Tatiana Panova (6) 6–4 1–6 6–0Matevzic comes back strong from her early loss at the U. S. Open

September 10 — Bahia 1R: Amanda Coetzer def. Janette Husarova 6–1 6–1Husarova pays for her U. S. Open doubles success with quick losses in singles and doubles. We suspect she’ll take it.

September 11 — Bahia 2R: Henrieta Nagyova def. Iva Majoli (5) 6–2 6–3Nagyova, who has semifinalist points to defend, just might stay in the Top Fifty.

September 12 — Bahia QF: Eleni Daniilidou (8) def. Patty Schnyder (4) 2–6 6–2 6–4Daniilidou returns to the Top Thirty.

September 13 — Bahia SF: Anastasia Myskina (3) def. Jelena Dokic (1) 6–2 6–4Bahia SF: Eleni Daniilidou (8) def. Monica Seles (2) 6–1 7–5

Daniilidou hits the Top 25, and Myskina reaches a career high, and Dokic gets a lesson in what happens when two absurdly overworked baseliners with no variety face each other.

September 14 — Bahia F: Anastasia Myskina (3) def. Eleni Daniilidou (8) 6–3 0–6 6–2Myskina wins her first major title — though it’s the weakest Tier II this year.

September 15 — Shanghai F: Anna Smashnova (1) def. Anna Kournikova (4) 6–2 6–3Kournikova finally gets to a final where she has a beatable opponent — but she can’t overcome herself.

September 16 — Princess Cup 1R: Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (8) def. Maja Matevzic 6–2 6–0Sanchez-Vicario’s last desperate attempt to stay in the Top 40 starts well.

September 17 — Princess Cup 1R DOUBLES:Navratilova/S. Williams def. (3) Martinez/Pratt 6–1 4–6 6–2

Believe it. It’s Serena’s first doubles WTA match not with Venus.September 18 — Princess Cup 2R: Elena Likhovtseva def.

(8) Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario 6–2 6–7(1–7) 6–4We hate to rub it in, but Sanchez-Vicario is now out of the Top Forty.

September 19 — Princess Cup 2R: Black/Likhovtseva (1) def. Date/Saeki (WC) 6-3, retiredIt’s tough to come back after a six year layoff....

September 20 — Princess Cup QF DOUBLES: Kuznetsova/Sanchez-Vicario def.Navratilova/S. Williams 7–5 6–4

But believe this, too: Serena doesn’t know how to play “standard” doubles.


September 21 — Princess Cup SF: Kim Clijsters (3) def. Jelena Dokic (2) 5–7 6–2 6–3And so Dokic finally loses her unnaturally high #4 ranking.

September 22 — Quebec City F: Elena Bovina (7) def. Marie-Gaianeh Mikaelian 6–3 6–4On a day when Serena Williams won another routine title, Elena Bovina won the second of her career. She isn’t Top 30 yet, but it looks like we have another significant Big Babe on our hands....

September 23 — Leipzig 1R: Rita Grande def. Iva Majoli 7–6(7–4) 6–1If you’re looking for consistency, don’t look to Majoli!

September 24 — Leipzig 1R: Janette Husarova def. (8) Magdalena Maleeva 3–6 6–2 6–3Maleeva bids the Top Twenty goodbye.

September 25 — Bali 1R: Marta Marrero def. Angelique Widjaja 6–4 6–3Marrero can hardly win a match these days, but she knocks out the defending champion.

September 26 — Leipzig 2R: Barbara Rittner def. Silvia Farina Elia (7) 4–6 6–4 6–3Upset artist Rittner pulls off another one.

September 27 — Leipzig QF: Justine Hénin (3) def. Daniela Hantuchova (5) 6–3 7–5Hantuchova blows her chance to make the Top Ten despite playing an opponent who dislikes indoors.

September 28 — Bali F DOUBLES:(1) Black/Ruano Pascual def. (3) Kuznetsova/Sanchez-Vicario 6-2 6-3

Before this match, Kuznetsova had beaten Sanchez-Vicario in singles (7–5 6–4), a match which made the Russian very uncomfortable. It may have affected her doubles; after fourteen straight wins, Kuznetsova and Sanchez-Vicario sustained their first-ever loss.

September 29 — Leipzig F: (1) Serena Williams def. (6) Anastasia Myskina 6–3 6–2Not only is it Serena’s eighth title this year, but it earns her the Surface Sweep.

September 30 — Moscow 1R: Nadia Petrova def. Martina Hingis (5) 6–2 6–2Is Hingis really back or not?

October 1 — Moscow 1R: Nathalie Déchy def. Eleni Daniilidou 3–6 6–3 6–4Déchy foils Daniilidou’s latest attempt to hit the Top Twenty — and gives herself a shot at the Top Twenty instead.

October 2 — Moscow 2R: Amanda Coetzer def. Jelena Dokic (4) 7–6(7–1) 3–6 6–3Coetzer may at last get back into the Top Twenty as she at last puts Dokic’s ranking back to something reasonable: #7 or #8.

October 3 — Moscow 2R: Magdalena Maleeva def. Venus Williams (1) 2–6 6–1 7–6(7–3)On any normal day, the Match of the Day would have been Elena Bovina’s 6–1 4–6 6–1 win over Elena Dementieva, which makes Bovina a Top 30 player and puts Dementieva outside the Top Twenty. But this match effective knocks Venus out of the race for year-end #1 — and puts Maleeva in the Top Twenty.

October 4 — Japan Open QF: Silvija Talaja def. (1) Ai Sugiyama 3–6 7–6(7–5) 6–3So much for home field advantage — and for Sugiyama’s Top Twenty ranking.

October 5 — Moscow SF: Magdalena Maleeva def. (4) Amélie Mauresmo 7–5 6–4At this rate, Maleeva — #23 coming in — might make the year-end championship!

October 6 — Moscow F: Magdalena Maleeva def. Lindsay Davenport (3) 5–7 6–3 7–6(7–4)Maleeva denies Davenport her first title of the year while earning her own.

October 7 — Filderstadt Qualifying Final: Rita Grande (6) def. Eleni Daniilidou (1) 6–2 6–3Daniilidou still can’t solve indoors — and it again costs her a spot in the Top 20.

October 8 — Filderstadt 1R DOUBLES: Davenport/Raymond def.(1) Hantuchova/Sanchez-Vicario 6–1 6–0

It’s been almost a year since Davenport played doubles, but apparently she remembers how....October 9 — Filderstadt 2R: Alexandra Stevenson (Q) def. Jennifer Capriati (1) 7–6(7–4) 4–6 6–4

Stevenson beats Capriati for the second time this year (the first was at Sydney), and by almost the same score....


October 10 — Filderstadt 2R: Elena Dementieva def. Martina Hingis (7) 6–3 6–1It was a truly wild day — Tatiana Panova bounced Jelena Dokic in three sets, and Myriam Casanova took out Justine Hénin, also in three. But this is the historic loss: For the first time in six years, Hingis will fall out of the Top Ten, her place being taken by Daniela Hantuchova.

October 11 — Filderstadt QF: (6) Kim Clijsters def. (2) Lindsay Davenport 4–6 6–3 6–4And so all four top seeds are out of the singles — and Davenport’s chances of a year-end Top Ten spot are a lot dimmer. She still doesn’t have a title this year.

October 12 — Filderstadt SF: (6) Kim Clijsters def. (5) Amelie Mauresmo 3–6 6–3 7–5Mauresmo came very close to another final (which would have really helped her chances for a year-end #3), but instead Clijsters returns to #5.

October 13 — Filderstadt F: Kim Clijsters (6) def. Daniela Hantuchova (8) 4–6 6–3 6–4Hantuchova is in the Top Ten for the first time, but it’s Clijsters who gets title #2 of 2002

October 14 — Zurich 1R DOUBLES: Po-Messerli/Zvereva def.(2) Dementieva/Husarova 4–6 6–3 6–4

After a frustrating year, Zvereva finally wins a big match at a big tournament.October 15 — Zurich 1R DOUBLES: Davenport/Rubin def. Ruano Pascual/Suarez (1) 6–4 6–4

Lee/Prakusya def. Schnyder/Svensson 6–4 4–6 6–4Davenport hasn’t lost in doubles in over a year; playing her first match since spring 2001 with someone other than Lisa Raymond, she causes the world’s top pair to suffer only their second opening-round loss of the year. Meanwhile, Lee and Prakusya book themselves a trip to the year-end championship.

October 16 — Zurich 2R: Conchita Martinez def. Jennifer Capriati (1) 6–0 6–3All right, Capriati dislikes indoors. But so does Martinez! The chances of Capriati ending the year at #4 just got a lot stronger.

October 17 — Zurich 2R: Alexandra Stevenson (Q) def. Jelena Dokic (5) 7–6(8–6) 4–6 7–5Stevenson cements herself in the Top 25 as Dokic again fails to defend points and falls to #8.

October 18 — Zurich QF: Patty Schnyder def. Daniela Hantuchova (7) 6–7(5–7) 6–3 7–6(7–5)Schnyder not only wins a tiebreak against Hantuchova (which happens about once a year), but she is getting close to a return to the Top Fifteen.

October 19 — Bratislava SF: Iveta Benesova (Q) def. Nathalie Déchy (1) 7–5 4–6 6–1Bratislava SF: Maja Matevzic def. Rita Grande (3) 0–6 6–2 6–0

The defending champion and the top seed both crash as two young players who rely more on spin than power both reach their first finals.

October 20 — Zurich F: Patty Schnyder def. (2) Lindsay Davenport 6–7(5–7) 7–6(10–8) 6–3Davenport’s injury — which will cause her to drop out of the Top Ten next week — causes her to lose yet another final and gives Schnyder her first Tier I title.

October 21 — Linz 1R: Elena Dementieva def. Ai Sugiyama 6–1 6–4Dementieva ends Sugiyama’s Los Angeles chances and improves her own.

October 22 — Luxembourg 1R: Laura Granville def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario 6–3 6–1We hate to rub it in — but unless Sanchez-Vicario plays Pattaya, she’s going to end the year ranked below #50 for the first time since 1986.

October 23 — Linz 2R: Anna Smashnova (9) def. Elena Dementieva 6–3 3–6 7–5Amélie Mauresmo withdrew from Los Angeles this day, meaning that both players will likely be in the Championships — but with this, Smashnova clinches, and Dementieva’s tough year just gets tougher.

October 24 — Linz 2R: Alexandra Stevenson def. (6) Anastasia Myskina 6–3 7–6(7–5)Stevenson keeps a faint hope alive for Los Angeles, and effectively ends Myskina’s hopes to be Top Ten this year.

October 25 — Linz QF: Alexandra Stevenson def. Jennifer Capriati (1) 6–1 6–1It was a truly crummy match, but it puts Stevenson in the Top Twenty.


October 26 — Linz SF: Alexandra Stevenson def. (5) Daniela Hantuchova 6–4 7–6(8–6)Stevenson makes the Top 20 as Hantuchova pays the price for all the matches she’s let run too long.

October 27 — Linz F: Justine Hénin (4) def. Alexandra Stevenson 6–3 6–0Hénin wins her first indoor title, completes the career surface sweep, wins her first Tier II, and makes it to a career-high #4. Pretty good for less than an hour’s work.

November 4 — Pattaya 1R: Tamarine Tanasugarn (2) def. Rossana Neffa-de los Rios 7–5 6–1Tanasugarn can’t make the Top 25 here, but she at least wins a match at home.

November 5 — Pattaya 1R: Tatiana Panova (1) def. Maria Kirilenko (Q) 6–1 6–0No real significance to this — except that it’s event #31 (!) for Panova this year. Plus Fed Cup.

November 6 — Los Angeles Champ 1R: Monica Seles (6) def. Lindsay Davenport 2–6 7–6(8–6) 6–3Davenport blew seven match points on her way to a first round exit — assuring that she would end 2002 outside the Top Ten for the first time since 1995. It’s also the first year of her pro career that she didn’t win a title.

November 7 — Los Angeles Champ 1R: Jelena Dokic (8) def. Anastasia Myskina 6–3 6–4And so the year-end Top Ten are set: It’s Hingis, not Davenport or Myskina, at #10.

November 8 — Los Angeles QF: Kim Clijsters (5) def. Justine Hénin (4) 6-2 6-1An incredibly crummy match by Hénin at least gives her some extra time to prepare for her wedding. And yes, she’s getting married at age twenty.

November 9 —Pattaya SF: Angelique Widjaja def. Tatiana Panova (1) 2–6 6–1 6–3Los Angeles Champ 1R DOUBLES: Fujiwara/Sugiyama def.

Ruano Pascual/Suarez (1) 6–4 6–3Panova isn’t supposed to wear down like that — but then, she had to find some way to lose. As for Ruano Pascual/Suarez — well, it’s indoors. They’re still #1 in the world

November 10 — Los Angeles Champ SF: Kim Clijsters (5) def. Venus Williams (2) 5–0, retiredIt was the worst match of the day in terms of play; Venus couldn’t move. But with it, the year’s final rankings are set — and Clijsters is the year-end #4, her best ever final ranking.

November 11 — Los Angeles Champ F: Kim Clijsters (5) def. Serena Williams (1) 7–5 6–3Clijsters wins the biggest title of her career and ends the year with an eight-match winning streak.


WTA Tour HistoryWho Won What Summary — SinglesThe following list shows all active Tier II or higher titles and lists which of the top players have won them. The figures in the boxes show how many times the player has won each event and the year of her earliest win (e.g. by the Australian Open, in the column for Hingis, we see 3/97 — Hingis has won the Australian Open three times, starting in 1997). Looking at this list can give a measure both of a player’s success (Davenport, e.g., has a lot of titles) and her weaknesses (but Davenport has big holes in the clay season)

Wins at important expired tournaments: Davenport — Philadelpha (2/99), Chicago (1/97); Hingis — Philadelphia (1/97); Mauresmo — Nice 2001; Martinez — Stratton Mountain (2/93), Houston (1/93), Philadelphia (1/93), Barcelona (1/91), Tampa (1/89); Sanchez-Vicario — Washington (1/91), Barcelona (2/93), Newport (1/90); Seles — Houston (3/89), San Antonio (1/90), Tampa (1/90), Milan (1/91), Philadelphia (1/91), Essen (1/92), Barcelona (1/92), Chicago (1/93); S. Williams — Hannover (1/00). N.B.: Rubin won Linz in 1997, but it was not yet a Tier II.

Who Won What Summary — DoublesThe equivalent of the preceding, but for doubles. This is a much harder list of players to compile, as there are more doubles winners out there. I finally chose to list the Top Five (Ruano Pascual, Suarez, Raymond, Stubbs, Husarova), all Top Twelve players with 15 or more career titles (Likhovtseva, Sugiyama), the remaining Top Thirty players with the best doubles records (Sanchez-Vicario, Hingis, Davenport, Kournikova), plus Zvereva as the active (?) doubles player with the best results and the Williams Sisters since they have the career Slam.

Who Won What Part 3: 1986–1989Order of events is (approximately) as in 1990. A major change in Tier schedule occurred between 1987 and 1988, with very many $150,000 events upgrading in the interim. In 1987, $150,000 was the equivalent of Tier II; in 1988, it was not. I have listed as Tier II events only those $150,000 events which upgraded in 1988 — but marked them in italics for 1987 (not previously). TThe Tour shifted to a Calendar Year system in 1986. Note that this resulted in many events not being played in 1986.

Active Leaders in Titles (Singles/Doubles)Minimum ten titles required to be listed. Players in bold won at least one title in 2002

* Titles include at least one Slam† Excludes Olympics, Grand Slam Cup§ Retiring after 2002 season

1. Partial year; see note on 1985–1986.2. Until 1986, the Tour used a “tournament year” stretching from roughly March to March. In 1986, it switched to a calen-

dar year form, explaining why many events are omitted (but not shown as unplayed) in 19863. The 1984/1985 season was 13 months long, including March 1985 and March 1986. One tournament — Dallas — was

therefore played twice in that year, and not at all in the 1983/1984 season.4. Reduced to a $50,000 tournament in 1985, coupled with a “4-woman special” won by Evert5. Marco Island in 1986, with reduced prize money and an earlier date6. The Italian Open was “in exile” 1980-1985, held in Taranto (with a $50,000 prize) in 1985, and in Perugia in 1984 and

before (with a more normal $150,000 prize). It was not held in 1986 (not unusual given the realignment)7. In some years (e.g. 1985), there were two Indianapolis events, perhaps on different surfaces. This is the larger8. Held in Tokyo. Singles only; no doubles. Featured a third and fourth place playoff as well as winner and runner-up9. Bonaventure in 1984; Deer Creek in 1983, with reduced prize money10. Stuttgart until 198511. Held in Tokyo. Singles only; no doubles. Featured a third and fourth place playoff as well as winner and runner-up12. Listed by the WTA as a Tier I event but with $50,000 in prize money. Presumably the former is correct13. Key Biscayne: Later Boca Raton14. Held in Livingston in the 1983/1984 season15. Dallas 1984/1985: Won by Mandlikova in March 1984 and by Navratilova in March 1985

Detailed Analysis — Career Tournaments for Davenport, Hingis, Seles, WilliamsIt’s one thing to win tournaments. It’s another to win a “spectrum” of tournaments — on all surfaces, in all countries. The following list shows all the major events currently played on the tour, and lists the years in which the top players won each (years abbreviated in some cases).

Notes: Events which are no longer played are not included in this list. In some cases, none of the above players ever won the event (e.g. none has won Hannover, which was last played in 2000). Davenport also won Chicago (II) in 1997; this was the last year that event was played. The Atlanta event was won by Davenport in 1997; it moved to New Haven in 1998. Davenport has also won several Tier III events: Lucerne 1993, Brisbane 1994, Lucerne 1994, Strasbourg 1995, Oklahoma City 1997, Madrid 1999. Hingis has two Tier III titles (’s-Hertogenbosch 2000; Doha 2001). Venus Williams wonTier III events at Oklahoma City in 1998, 1999 and Gold Coast in 2002. Monica Seles won Chicago (discontinued) in 1993; Essen (discontinued), Houston (discontinued), and Barcelona (discontinued) in 1992; Houston (discontinued), Milan (discontinued), and Tampa (discontinued) in 1991; and Houston (discontinued) in 1989. Seles won the U. S. Hardcourts (later Atlanta, later New Haven) in 1990 when it was in San Antonio. Seles has won many small events in recent years: In 2001, Oklahoma City (III), Japan Open (III), and Shanghai (IV); in 2002, Doha (III) and Madrid (III). Serena Williams won Hannover 2000 (discontinued). Philadelphia has been suspended but is to be resumed and so remains in the list.

Career Results for Leading PlayersThe following tables summarize the performances of certain top players, both current and recently retired. The criterion used is that a player must have retired since 1996, and must have, or be projected to have, at least 20 career singles titles. The table then attempts (probably with some inaccuracy) to break out a player’s titles by year, surface, and tier. Tiers have been translated, to the extent possible, to the current Slam-Champ-I-II-III-IV-V system, even though the system has changed dramatically over the years (e.g. events now titled Tier II might have had prizes of $225,000 or $350,000 in the early Nineties; similarly, in the late Eighties the moneygap between Tier I and Tier II was only 3:2, compared to the 2:1 ratio of today. The list below does not represent the nomenclature at the time but what appears to me to be the best approximation to the nomenclature of today). Tournaments of Tier II or higher are shown in bold; lesser results in plain text.

Note: Here as elsewhere, events which do not follow WTA admission rules (Olympics, Fed Cup, Hopman Cup, Grand Slam Cup) are not listed. Since some (not all) WTA lists include the Olympics, their totals for Capriati, Davenport, Graf, and Venus Williams may be one tournament higher.

Strongest Career Rankings ShowingsBased on the above statistics, we can produce a career “ranking of rankings.” In the system below, one point is awarded for a year in which a player ends at #8. Two are awarded for #7, 3 for #6, 4 for #5, 6 for #4, 8 for #3, 12 for #2, and 16 for #1.Note: for purposes of reckoning, Monica Seles is omitted from the rankings for 1995, but is treated as #2 for 1996, with all players below her demoted one position.

Titles With Multiple Partners, Single Year, Open EraAccording to the WTA, only 7 players have won doubles titles with five or more partners in a year in the WTA Era.* The following lists these players, their partners, and the number of titles with each partner.*

* The WTA list for this statistic is extremely inaccurate — it omits Neiland, gets Sanchez-Vicario’s record wrong, and shows Paz with only four titles in 1989; I discovered her result with Tarabini by accident. This is a corrected list, but may be incomplete.

Slams With the Most Partners, Open EraThe following list shows all women who have won Slams with four or more partners in the Open Era, listing the partners and the number of Slams with each*.

* Note: Billie Jean King won titles with 5 players, but only three in the Open Era: Casals (5), Navratilova (4), Stove (1). Counting wins before the Open Era, Court won with 7 players: The above plus Ebbern, Reitano, and Turner.

Comings and Goings: On and Off the RankingsThe following lists compare the ranking tables for 2001 and 2002, noting how many players have been added and subtracted. Note that this is not the same as the number of players who have turned pro or retired. Some players may go off the rankings because of injuries, others may reappear because they have recovered from injuries. And some have changed their names, and so will disappear from one list to reappear on the other (I have corrected some of these, e.g. Åsa Carlsson became Svensson. But there are bound to be some low-ranked players I’ve missed). In other cases, the WTA simply changes players’s names, presumably because they were misspelled when first entered in the database. I detected 17 such changes in 2002, but my “similarity checker” is not perfect and the WTA does not issue lists of these changes. So chances are that at least some players slipped past me. But this gives a general overview of how the numbers of ranked players has changed. Overall, the number of players is increasing, but the increase is not constant — there were 1079 ranked players at the end of the season in 1999; in 2000 there were 1242, an increase of 15%. But in 2001 the number fell again, to 1214. In 2002, the total rose again, to 1253.

Note that the old WTA rankings lists clipped players’ names at 22 letters, and I have had to maintain this convention (for the most part) to allow comparison of old and new lists. Clipping, if it occurs, takes place in the first names, not the surnames.

The first list, of players ranked only in 2001, shows the players in alphabetical order with their 2001 year-end rankings shown in parenthesis. The second list, of players ranked only in 2002, is similar: An alphabetical list, with 2002 final rankings in parenthesis.

The final list, of players ranked in both years, is more complicated, as it allows ranking comparison. The list shows each player’s name, her 2002 final ranking, the net change in her ranking from 2001 to 2002, and the percent change. As an example of what we mean, take the first player on the list to end 2000 in the Top 100. That’s Greta Arn, and her entry reads

Greta Arn (91, +27, +23%)This means that Arn’s year-end 2002 ranking was #91. What’s more, she improved her ranking 27 spots (“+27”) from the end of 2001 to the end of 2002 (she had ended 2001 ranked #118). A positive number means the player moved up the rankings; a negative number means she moved down. The third number in the parentheses is her percentage movement — the real indicator of how the player did in the course of the year. Arn cut her ranking by 23%. If the number is negative, that means the player’s ranking increased (worsened) by the percentage shown.

If it matters, the biggest percentage improvements in ranking in 2002 were: Libuse Prusova, 89%; Vera Zvonareva, 88%; Myriam Casanova, Sybille Bammer, 84%; Svetlana Kuznetsova, Serena Williams, Dinara Safina, 83%; Anna Smashnova, 82%; Anastasia Myskina, 81%; no others better than 80%.

The biggest percentage hits were suffered by Lindsay Davenport (ranking increased 1100%!), Joannette Kruger (876%), and Miroslava Vavrinec (719%) — all induced largely by injury.
