The story in 2022 was Iga Swiatek’s dominance of the WTA tour after the sudden retirement of Ash Barty. Within that narrative was yet another very messy year of musical chairs in the top 10. Year after year, there seems to be a lack of dominance at the very top of women’s tennis. For example, ... Read more
2022 will be remembered for Ash Barty’s retirement as much as for Iga Swiatek’s total dominance of the tour. Many will be left to wonder if there would have been an epic Swiatek vs. Barty rivalry similar to other great rivalries of the past. We’ll never know. What we do know is that as soon ... Read more

Just one of these narratives would have left me satisfied with the Australian ... Read more
There are two women left standing. Ash Barty will play Danielle Collins for a shot at the title. Australia will be 100% behind Barty, while Collins will attempt to ice the crowd with her blistering groundstroke game from the baseline. Collins looked unstoppable against Iga Swiatek, making the World #7 and French Open champ look ... Read more

It was a great week for American tennis as our top players not just featured prominently in the last two tournaments of the year, but also won them in style.

The big surprise in the first couple of days was Naomi Osaka pulling out of the French Open after a standoff with event organizers over her reluctance to participate in press conferences.
