IntroductionI’ve always been amazed to look at huge scholarly volumes, such as concordances, filled with hundreds or thousands of pages of facts and representing hundreds or thousands of hours of work and yet without any real introduction. After doing all that work, you’d think the author would want to tell us all why.

And yet, here I am trying to convince you of the significance of this Statistical Abstract, and I find I have relatively little to say. Nonetheless, I think this Statistical Abstract serves a useful function. In team sports, it’s easy to learn what you need to learn about the teams: You look at the standings. As long as they play a sufficient and balanced schedule (as, say, baseball and basketball do, though American Football does not), the standings tell you who is best and who needs work.

Tennis isn’t like that. Players play different numbers of events, and they play different levels of events; a 5-0 record at an event means a lot more if it’s at Filderstadt (where your every opponent is Top 25) than if it’s a low-level Challenger. And even if two players were to play all the same events — which they won’t — they won’t play the same opponents. And tournaments come in all sorts of grades and tiers; they also are played on a variety of different surfaces; a player who is great on clay may well be quite uncomfortable indoors; one who is good at singles may be bad at doubles; one who can demolish the competition in Tier V events may be overmatched at the Tier II level. It’s a very complicated world.

Hence this Statistical Abstract. It can’t cover everything, of course. But we can look at the top players (mostly the final Top 30, with other players who achieved Top 25 status during the year, plus a handful of others such as Mary Pierce and Daja Bedanova and Anna Kournikova, who didn’t but who had solid enough histories that one might hope they could do it again if healthy). We look at their rankings, their overall results, the players they faced, and so forth. We also look at the state of the sport: Which tournaments are strong, which are weak, which feature the most top players.

And, of course, we look at doubles, a subject almost forgotten these days.At times this can give a very different perspective. The “alternate rankings,” for instance, give us a look

at the strongest players in various categories. I’d expected either Serena Williams or Justine Hénin-Hardenne to win all of these, depending mostly on whether the statistic set a minimum number of events or not. It didn’t turn out that way. In several categories, such as those based on wins over top players and in results at the ten biggest events, Kim Clijsters comes out on top (in fact, Clijsters has the biggest Majors result posted in the last four years). Obviously Clijsters had real trouble in pressure matches. But the numbers say clearly that her game was good enough for #1; the problem lay elsewhere. On the whole, if I were asked to vote the #1 singles player of the year, I guess I would have to list the players in the WTA order: Justine Hénin-Hardenne #1, then Clijsters, then Serena Williams. The doubles PoY list, though, wouldnot follow the rankings; I’d say Ai Sugiyama #1, Clijsters #2, and Martina Navratilova #3. And that, at least arguably, makes Clijsters the true all-around Player of the Year.

Revealing things like that is one of the major purposes of the Abstract (the other being to record useful facts about the 2003 season, and also about the seasons before that). The WTA rankings, for instance, present only the most elementary picture of players’ results; even if you agree with the method (and, speaking as a mathematician, I find it utterly perverse, since it counts wins but ignores losses), it’s just a number. There is more to be said, and you can find at least some of that additional information here.

Please note that this document is based on “Tour Year 2003,” which ended with the year-end championships in the second week of November. No Tour events were played after that time, but Challengers were. These have not been included in the data in this document.

I have, of course, tried very hard to assure that this information is accurate, and have applied various cross-checks on it where possible. But I can only do so much, particularly given the shortness of the tennis off-season as well as the more than occasional errors produced by the WTA. Therefore I can offer no guarantees of the accuracy of this information. You’re getting it free; how much can you expect? I still hope it will be useful.

1. The former Anna Smashnova took the married name “Pistolesi” at the end of 2002, and then switched it to “Smashnova-Pistolesi” after her last tournament of 2003. Because most of our data was compiled before she re-changed her name, and because “Pistolesi” was the name she used during all her tournaments, she will generally be referred to as “Pistolesi” in this Statistical Abstract.

Top Players Analysed

All the Players in the Top Ten in 2003:The Complete Top Ten Based on WTA (Best 17) Statistics

The lists below show all players who have ranked in the Top 10 in 2003, with the highest rank achieved. A total of fifteen players spent time in the Top Ten in 2003, far more than the twelve in 2002, but rather less than the seventeen in 2001 or the sixteen in 2000.

The following list shows all the players who have occupied a given position in the Top 10: 1. Hénin-Hardenne, Clijsters, S. Williams2. Clijsters, Hénin-Hardenne, 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 were fifteen Top Ten players in the WTA rankings, and sixteen under the divisor, we don’t find fifteen players in common to both lists. Dokic was Top Ten only in the WTA rankings; Petrova and Zvonareva made the Top Ten only under the divisor.

Ranking FluctuationThe table below shows how highlight players ranked in the course of the year. The season is divided into half-month sections, with 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 during the year. So Kremer, with a standard deviation of 102.7, showed the biggest fluctuation in the course of the year, while Mauresmo, with standard deviations of 0.8, showed the least variation).

Top Players Sorted by Median RankingThis table lists our highlight 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 2002 and 2003 results equally into account, since rankings at the beginning of the year were based entirely on 2002 results, while 2003 results were the sole influence by the end of the year.Median

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 11, 2003 rankings), Player is of course the player, Score is her Best 17 point total, # ofTrn is the number of tournaments she played (including Challengers), Best Rank is her highest ranking during the year 2003, Won/Lost is won/lost record (in the notes to this field, Wi=Withdrawal, WO=walkover. So Hénin-Hardenne, for instance, won 72 matches, lost eleven, received one walkover, and did not withdraw from any). 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 Petrova (for qualifying results) and Krasnoroutskaya (for Challengers). Titles is the list of titles the player won, if any. We list the names (sometimes abbreviated), then the number of titles in parentheses. So Mauresmo’s line, e.g., reads Warsaw, Philadelphia (2). This means Mauresmo won two titles — Warsaw and Philadelphia. Players marked * are “highlight” players studied extensively below.Final # of BestRank Player Name Score Trn Rank Won/Lost Titles

Tournament Results

Summary of Results for Top PlayersThe list below shows all the tournaments the highlight players played in 2003. 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 Elena Bovina reads

Sydney (II, 2R/Barabanschikova [184], 1) — Myskina (11)

This means that Bovina’s second tournament of 2003 was the Sydney. The “II” means that it was a Tier II event; if a Roman numeral is used, it refers to the tier of the event; the other possibilities are “Slam” for the Grand Slams, “Champ” for the year-end Championships, and a dollar amount, e.g. $50K, for a Challenger. 2R/Barabanschikova means that Bedanova reached the second round, where she was beaten by Olga Barabanschikova, then ranked #184. The 1 indicates that she won one match prior to that defeat. Players she defeated included Myskina (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.

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.):

Number of Tournament Wins for Top 25 PlayersThe following table shows tournament wins by the Top 25. Tournaments are categorized as major (Tier II or higher) or minor (Tier III or lower). The tournaments are listed, with their level, on the next line.

Seven year-end Top 25 players did not win any WTA events in 2003: Bovina, Dokic, Hantuchova, Martinez, Petrova, Schiavone, Schnyder (there were five title-less Top 25 players in 2001 and eight in 2002). Other highlight players without titles were Bedanova, C. Fernandez, Kournikova, Krasnoroutskaya, Kremer, Kuznetsova, Majoli, Panova, Pierce, Schett, Seles, Stevenson, and Tulyaganova; highlight players below #25 with titles were Daniilidou (Auckland/IV), Déchy (Gold Coast/III), Maleeva (Birmingham/III)), Raymond (Memphis/III), and Tanasugarn (Hyderabad/IV)

Fraction of Tournaments WonSorted in descending order of percent won. Includes all Top Thirty players, plus all players with WTA titles. Note that Challenger titles do not count as titles but do count as events (e.g. Sharapova won Sea Island; this is not counted as a title, but does count toward her event total).

Tiers of Tournaments Played and Average TierThe goal of this statistic is to determine just how “rich” each player’s schedule was, expressed as a number correlating with the tier. The Slams and the Los Angeles Championships are treated mathematically as “Tier 0,” and Challengers as “Tier 8.” That is, in taking the mean (average), we assign 0 points for playing a Slam or the Championships, 1 point for a Tier I, 2 for a Tier II, etc. The lower the mean and median strength, the tougher one’s schedule.) In each category, we list the number of events the player played at that level, and then the percentage of her total she played at that level.So Bedanova, for instance, played four Slams, and nineteen total events, so the four events represent 21% of the events she played this year.

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 Serena Williams, Venus Williams (both injured for much of this year, but who always play absurdly rich schedules anyway), Capriati (who last year was #1 in richness-of-schedule), Hénin-Hardenne, and Davenport. The weakest schedules were played by Kremer, Kournikova (those both influenced by injury), Tulyaganova, Tanasugarn, and Majoli; if we look only at year-end Top 25 players, those with the weakest schedules were Serna, Zvonareva, Schiavone, Schnyder, and Suarez. Overall, except for the Williams Sisters and perhaps Capriati and Tanasugarn, there weren’t many absurd schedules played.

If we wish to look at the “typical” player, based on the highlight players, we find that she played 19.7% of her events at Slams, .9% at the Championships, 28.9% at the Tier I events, 32.6% at the Tier II level, 9.9% at the Tier III level, 4.8% at the Tier IV level, 1.6% at the Tier V level, and 1.7% at the Challenger level. The table below shows how many events would be “expected” of a player with 6, 8, 10, 12, events, etc. Note that, once we get to 24 events, players are “expected” to play five Slams, which is obviously impossible; players’ schedules inevitably get weaker as they play more events.

We can, incidentally, determine who has the most and least deviant schedules on this basis. (The method used, for those who care, is RMS distance: Square root of the sum of the squares of the fraction of events played at each tier divided by the average fraction of events played at each tier.) By this standard, the most deviant schedule, unsurprisingly, was turned in by Kremer (who didn’t have much choice), followed by Venus, Serena, Tulyaganova, and Hantuchova (that one surprised me. But she’s too heavy on Tier II events). The players with the most typical schedules were Myskina (who, except for the Championships, had deviations of less than one part in thirty for all tiers), Schnyder, Bedanova, Rubin, and Bovina.

But enough of this. The actual data follows:

Tournament Results (Points Earned), Sorted from Most to LeastThe table below sorts the results for the Top Twenty from most points per tournament to least. Thus, the row labelled “1” lists each player’s best result, the row “2” lists the next-best, and so on. The seventeenth tournament (the last to count toward the WTA rankings) is highlighted.

Alternate RankingsThere is nothing magic about the WTA’s Best 17 rankings; . they emphasize a certain sort of results. Alternate rankings simply slice the data other ways. A typical way would be to use some of the WTA’s earlier ranking systems, such as “Best 17”: This system adds up the total points from all the tournaments a player played, whether the number of events be 7 (for Serena Williams) or 30 (for Jelena Dokic or Tina Pisnik). It is essentially the system used by the WTA in 1997, except for minor differences in the point table.

Total Points Ranking (1997 Ranking System)

Best 17 usually not differ much from Total Points, but it does this year: Note that we have a change at the very top, there Kim Clijsters overtakes Justine Hénin-Hardenne. But we don’t see another change until #9.

If Best 17 and Total Score rankings are almost identical (since both are additive rankings), the same is not true when either is 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”)

Most years, this ranking produces major changes; there have been years (e.g. 1998, 2001) when it changed the top ranking, and it consistently changes the Top Ten. This time, surprisingly, we see no changes in the Top Five. But we do see a big change in the Top Ten as Venus Williams moves up to #6, bouncing Elena Dementieva down to #11. We also see that Monica Seles, #60 in the WTA rankings, is around #35. But perhaps the biggest shock is at #14. Notice where Maria Sharapova stands!

But ththe old divisor has a problem: Players these days are expected to play at least 17 events — meaning they must play more weak events. The Williams Sisters blatantly ignore this, but most 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”)

This ranking typically resembles the preceding except that injured players lose ground. So it is here; note, e.g. that Venus Williams falls from #6 under the minimum-14 divisor to #7 here.

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 the related “Best 14” system — the total points earned in one’s best fourteen events. If applied to the WTA, the result would be as follows:

Overall, this isn’t very different from Best 17; the first change is at #9. This contrasts with 2001, where the difference between Best 14 and Best 17 changed the #1 ranking: Capriati overtook Davenport for the #1 ranking. This is the ultimate problem with best-however-many rankings: If the number of events is high, it rewarsd players who play a lot; if the number is low; it rewards a few big results over consistency.

Slotted Best 18 (ATP Entry Rank)This is the men’s “ranking” system. I put “ranking” in quotes because of several complications — the most notable being the discontinuity (top players are expected to play Masters Series events, while lower-ranked players need not). It’s very hard to rank on this system if players aren’t playing to it. But anyway....

The slotted system counts a player’s results in Slams, Masters Series (the equivalent of the WTA’s Tier I events), and five other events, plus the year-end Championships if one qualifies. 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.

Because it is so very different, the effects of this ranking system vary from year to year. This year and last, its effects were minimal. In 2001, 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, apart from the top two, is that some of these players (e.g. Zvonareva, Petrova) played large numbers of low-tier (Tier III-V) tournaments and qualifying rounds. 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 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 and non-point-bearing tournaments (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. Karolina Sprem, who had something like 30 Challenger wins this year but had only 16 WTA main draw wins plus some wins in qualifying). Only the Top 35 plus highlight 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

As a final footnote, we must mention the curiosity of Alicia Molik. She is listed by the WTA as having won the Gifu Challenger this year. This appears to be by confusion with 2001, when she did win it. Molik did not receive points for that event. The list below shows what I calculate must have been her record, based on actual results, in order to earn the points she earned.

Winning Percentage

Based on the data on wins above, we can also calculate these players’ win percentages. This of course shows Serena Williams as #1 — hardly a surprise. It’s perhaps a little more startling to find Venus Williams at #4, since she won only one title — but she tended to go deep at the few tournaments she played. Bigger surprises come at #6 (Sharapova, though that is largely the result of Challenger and qualifying wins; she probably won’t get that many cheap wins next year, and even her titles were both Tier III events) and #13 (Molik). We also see Monica Seles at #24 — though the surprise there is that she isn’t higher. We do note some high-ranked players with rather miserable percentages: Daniela Hantuchova is Top 20 according to the WTA but no better than #35 in win percentage, while Jelena Dokic is Top 15 but has a losing record.

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. Surfaces being what they are, I 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? We note that, as so often this year, the Top Five are the same as the WTA’s, but Venus is back in the Top Ten.

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 2003, our list is Sydney, Australian Open, Miami, Rome, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, San Diego, U. S. Open, Filderstadt, and the Los Angeles Championships. (The list does vary from year to year;, as described below) 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.

By definition, no more than forty players can earn majors points in a year, and in practice fifteen is about normal. 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 fourteen players; which is at the lower end of the typical range. In 2002, we had fifteen players: Serena Williams of course led with 29 points, then Venus Williams (16), Clijsters (13), Capriati (11), Hingis (8), Hénin (4), Dokic (3), Hantuchova (3), Mauresmo (3), Shaughnessy (3), Davenport (2), Seles (2), Dementieva (1), C. Fernandez (1), and Kournikova (1).

In 2001, when Indian Wells replaced Rome, we had only thirteen Majors point-scorers, 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. We had sixteen players that year; 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.

It is fascinating to note that Kim Clijsters, criticised for her lack of big results in 2003, has the highest Majors total recorded since I invented the statistic! Though, to put this in perspective, Martina Hingis earned 43 points in 1997,

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 less meaningful, because the varying levels of quality point awards for the top players (that is, the fact that a win over #1 is worth more than a win over #4) obscures their results. In 2002, this “predicted” Daniela Hantuchova, though, to be fair, in 2003 it “predicted” Myriam Casanova. This year, apart from known quantities Seles and Pierce, Maria Sharapova is our one to watch.

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 17 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.

Serena’s and Venus’s scores would, of course, fall dramatically if we required a minimum of 14 events; Serena would end up at #18 (remember, this punishes bad results, and a “did not play” is the worst possible result in this context), with Venus around #30. I don’t even know where Seles would end up.

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. This is a very complex ranking to calculate, and we looked only at the Highlight Players. For this reason, I will only list the top 30 under this system, which I offer mostly for demonstration purposes. (Though I would ask the real question, why is Best 14/Best 17 any better than Worst 14/17? Neither one counts all results!)

The real problem with this sytem, of course, is that it encourages underplaying; Serena comes out ahead of Hénin-Hardenne because she gets to count all of her best events while Hénin-Hardenne loses her best four. As a proposed solution, for every three events a player is short of fourteen (rounding high), we will subtract one event. So Serena, with seven events, loses her best three. (We’d subtract more if it weren’t for injuries.) Under that system. the Top Fifteen are: 1. Hénin-Hardenne (3599), 2. Clijsters (3219), 3. Davenport (2219), 4. Mauresmo (2015), 5. Capriati (1393), 6. Serena Williams (1252), 7. Rubin (922), 8. Déchy (581), 9. Zvonareva (485), 10. Raymond (455), 11. Pierce (443), 12. Sugiyama (435), 13. Venus Williams (376), 14. Coetzer (374), 15. Kuznetsova (368)

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 30:

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 notices 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 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 (slightly) 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 at least three clay events. The difference, one, is added to her divisor; she is treated as if she had played seventeen events. Note: A player cannot be penalized more than two tournaments per surface (only one for grass).

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

• Injured players who miss at least four months are exempt from balance requirements; their ranking is based simply on their points and number of tournaments, assuming they played enough events when they played (which all players except the Williams Sisters did; they still suffer penalties)

The result of this calculation are given below. The first column, “Rank,” is the rank under this system. “Player” is self-esplanatory. “# of Tourn” is the number of events the player actually played. “Qual Pts, Round Pts, and Slam Pts” are actual quality points, round points, points in Slams. “Penalty Tourns” is the number of extra events assessed for surface imbalance. “Adjust. points” is the adjusted points total — round points plus 1.5xquality 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 basis of the ranking. WTA Rnk is the player’s WTA rank. Hence:

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 WTA points table — as witness the fact that it gets changed almost every year. 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 nine career titles because she plays a lot of Tier IV tournaments. Anna Kournikova has none, in part, because in her heyday she played mostly Tier II and up. Kournikova was 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. Qualifying results are demoted one level (i.e. a win at Tier I qualifying is treated as a Tier III main draw win, a win at Tier III qualifying is treated as Tier IV, etc.)

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 calculate only a limited list of players, 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. Note, however, that this is not a true percentage; while the minimum is zero, the bonus wins man it’s not directly based on won/lost — though the maximum value does not exceed 100%.

And so, without further ado, the actual numbers:

Adjusted Winning Percentage, No BonusesSome may object, in the above table, 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 somewhat different list (note e.g. that Venus Williams has risen from #6 under the preceding to #5 here), kinder to players who didn’t play a lot (because it eliminates the benefit of playing more, and also eliminates 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: 735 (485 round points + 200 qual points = 5 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: 327 (195 round points + 132 qual points = 4 rounds * 33 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: 120 (80 round points for Tier V + 50 qual points = 5 rounds * 8 pts/round)• Challenger: 60 points (very approximate, since Challengers vary, but it hardly matters)Note that the above point totals are approximations, based on the examination of several tournament fields, and is what one could typically expect to earn at such an event. Actual tournament winners will not 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 six tournaments — but they included three Slams, which are obviously “rich,” so she played the richest schedule of any player. 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. We note that both Williams Sisters have totals over 600 — an impossibly high figure; anyone over 525 should probably be sanctioned.

The key figure, though, 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 83% earned — but that’s down from 85% last year. But even 83% is simply astonishing. She’s followed by the usual suspects: Hénin-Hardenne, Clijsters, Venus, Mauresmo, Davenport, with Hénin-Hardenne just over 70% and Clijsters not much below. That’s an interesting change from last year, when only two players (Venus, Serena) were over 60%, and Venus barely topped that figure. No other player topped 50% in 2002; Davenport, Capriati, and Hingis exceeded 40%. In 2001, Davenport and Venus were over 60%; Capriati was over 50%; Serena, Hingis, and Seles were over 40%. There were nine players over 25% last year (Serena, Venus, Davenport, Capriati, Hingis, Seles, Mauresmo, Clijsters, Hénin); note that we have only seven this year, but it’s the same seven, less the retired Hingis and the often-injured Seles.

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, more players 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 DAVENPO(rt) and the row labelled Capriati, you will see the notation “1-2.” This means that Davenport and Capriati played three times (1+2=3), with Capriati winning one and Davenport two.

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.We note with interest that the leader in this category is not Serena (47.2%) but Clijsters (48.8%), with Serena second and Seles third at 40%. Hénin-Hardenne is fourth, Capriati fifth, Mauresmo sixth, Venus seventh, Bovina (!) eighth, and Hantuchova , who never beat a final Top 20 player, dead last.

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 2003 at #2 (e.g. Clijsters) had a better 2003 than a player who began the year at #2 but ended it outside the Top Ten (Venus Williams), 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

How They Earned Their PointsThe following tables evaluate the manner in which players earn points, breaking them up, e.g., by points earned on each surface, points earned from quality versus round points, points earned in Slams....

In assessing the first table, Fraction of Points Earned in Slams,note that the Top 25 collectively earned 58028.25 points (total actual points; the total of their Best 17 scores is of course somewhat lower) in 2003; this is down very slightly 58524.25 points in 2002 and only 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 in both 2002 and 2003. Of the points earned in 2003, 19444, or 33.5%, were earned at Slams — up dramatically from 18110, or 30.9%, earned at Slams in 2002 and 16402, or 28.6%, in 2001 (the latter rise showing the effect of the Slam point inflation). The mean of the fraction of points earned in the Slams in 2003 is 31.1% (that is, this is the average of the players’ fractions). The median is Capriati’s 29.9%. The extremes are Dementieva’s and Pistolesi’s minimum of 9.7% and Venus Williams’s maximum of 74.4%.

The next table is 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, as noted above, earned an actual total of 58028.25 points. 20210 of these, or 34.8%, came from quality, down from 35.1% in 2002 (this may be due to the extremely limited schedules played by so many of the top players) and down even more from 35.4% in 2001 (that shift is probably due to round point inflation). The median quality percentage for the Top 25 is higher: Magui Serna had 35.8% of her points from quality. the arithmetic mean (average) is 35.1%. Bovina’s 42.9% leads Top 25 players, slightly ahead of Petrova’s 41.8% and well ahead of Shaughnessy’s 39.0%; Hantuchova’s 28.1% is the worst, followed by Rubin (29.3%) and Capriati (30.2%). At least two top-50-or-nearly players had higher ratios than Bovina, though: Ashley Harkleroad earned 43.7% of her points from quality, and Shinobu Asagoe had 43.0%. Hantuchova’s 28.1%, however, is a legitimate lower bound; the only significant player to play a full schedule with a lower quality ratio was Alexandra Stevenson (19.2%); Monica Seles was at 27.1%.

The final table, Percentage of Points Earned on Each Surface, assesses surface balance. The first four numbers in this table (% on hard, clay, grass, indoor) should be fairly self-explanatory: They represent the fraction of each player’s points that she earned on the particular surface. 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, Daniela Hantuchova, improbably enough, is the most balanced with a score of .02, followed by Justine Hénin-Hardenne, who was the most successfully balanced, and Elena Dementieva. Anne Kremer, not surprisingly given her schedule, is least balanced, with Silvia Farina Elia the least balanced player in the Top 25. For Reference: For the Top 25 as a whole, 41.1% of all points were earned on hardcourts, 25.2% on clay, 11.3% on grass, and 22.5% indoors (this represents a slight shift toward clay and away from hardcourt from last year — though the shift is small enough that it may well represent simply the injuries to the Williams Sisters. Grass and indoors were hardly affected at all).

QUALITY ROUND


Percentage of Points Earned on Each SurfaceThe first six columns in this table should be self-explanatory. The last column, RMS, attempts 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. For addition information, see the introduction to this section.

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. In other words, Kim Clijsters (who after all reached the semifinals of every tournament she played except one) was the most consistent, while Tatiana Panova (whose results were badly skewed by injury) was the least consistent.

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 (correctly, opening-round) losses each playes had, followed by other early-round losses (defined, arbitrarily, as cases where the player earned 50 or fewer point or a round robin loss at Los Angeles). Note: Round robin losses at the Los Angeles Championships are not included as first-round losses but as early losses and noted in the “other early losses” column; this is partly because they are against such tough players but mostly because even a player who loses all her matches earns 67 points.

Best and Worst “Worst Losses”In the tables on the following page, the list on the left shows, in order based on badness of loss, the worst single loss for our highlight players based on the ranking at the time (the same figure used in the previous table). Both the opponent’s ranking at the time and her final ranking are shown. The column on the right ranks losses based on the opponent’s final ranking. Players in bold had their worst at-the-time and year-end losses to different players.

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 worth the most points..

Kim Clijsters won 17 straight WTA matches at Luxembourg 2002, Los Angeles Championships 2002, Sydney 2003, Australian Open 2003, but between the Los Angeles win and the Sydney win, she suffered a loss at Hopman Cup. If this is excluded, her longest winning streak of 2003 is the 11 straight wins she posted at Rome and Roland Garros; she also had a ten match strigh at Indian Wells and Miami

3. Elena Dementieva’s longest losing streak of events in 2003 is Berlin 1R, Strasbourg 1R, Roland Garros 1R (following her win at Amelia Island, so that’s only three losses), but she had a four-match losing streak starting in 2002: Linz 2002 2R, Los Angeles Championships 2002 1R, Sydney 2003 1R, Australian Open 1R. She also lost four straight matches at the end of the year: Filderstadt QF, Zurich 1R, Los Angeles Round Robin 1, Los Angeles Round Robin 2 — but of course this is only three events.

4. Justine Hénin-Hardenne did not suffer a single first-round loss in 2003; she did, however, lose back-to-back matches at the Los Angeles championships. Having qualified for the Los Angeles semifinal by winning her first two matches, she proceeded to lose to Ai Sugiyama in her final Round Robin match and then lost to Amélie Mauresmo in the semifinal.

5. Anne Kremer came into 2002 with a loss at the Luxembourg 2R, so she formally had two 2-match losing streaks: The one listed, plus Luxembourg 2002 2R, Auckland 2003 1R

6. In addition to losing streaks of 4 matches and 5 matches, Majoli also had a streak of 3 non-wins: Withdrew from Budapest 2R, lost Warsaw 1R, lost Berlin 1R

7. In addition to the three-match losing streak shown, Anastasia Myskina had a three-match streak starting in 2002: Linz 2R, Los Angeles 2002 Championships 1R, Sydney 2003 1R

8. Ai Sugiyama, in addition to the three-match losing streak shown, had a five match streak starting in 2002: Japan Open 2002 QF, Zurich 2002 1R, Linz 2002 1R, Gold Coast 2003 1R, Sydney 2003 1R. She also had a three-match losing streak at Philadelphia SF, Los Angeles Round Robin 1, Los Angeles Round Robin 2 — but of course this is only two events.


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 by highlight players. So, e.g., 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 that Hénin-Hardenne matches Serena Williams in having 100% of results exceeding 100 points, with Clijsters third, then Venus and Mauresmo.

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. Experience shows that there is almost always a big gap, somewhere around #11 or #12, in points per tournament scores in each quarter; I’ve generally listed enough players to show the gap.

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 six (Clijsters, Hénin-Hardenne, Mauresmo, Davenport, Capriati, and Rubin) made it in all four quarters (actually a rather high figure; only four players managed it last year). 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; it was particularly problematic (as usual) for the Williams Sisters. More in desperation than anything else, I assigned them arbitrary scores of 3 (Serena) and 5 (Venus) for the third quarter, during which they played only Wimbledon; they of course get no fourth quarter points. We note with interest that, for the Top Five at least, this is effectively identical to the WTA rankings (yes, Clijsters and Hénin-Hardenne are tied for #1 — but they’re nearly tied in the rankings, too).

Consistency Rank Name WTA Rank Consistency Score 1 Clijsters 2 81 Hénin-Hardenne 1 83 Williams, Serena 3 224 Mauresmo 4 235 Davenport 5 266 Williams, Venus 11 277 Capriati 6 298 Rubin 9 349 Myskina 7 3710 Sugiyama 10 4611 Dementieva 8 4711 Petrova 12 4713 Bovina 21 5014 Dokic 15 5215 Seles 60 5315 Suarez 14 5315 Zvonareva 13 5318 Shaughnessy 17 5419 Coetzer 25 5619 Kuznetsova 36 5619 Martinez 18 5622 Hantuchova 19 5722 Serna 22 5724 Pierce 32 58


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 Rome, a player must win five or six matches in seven days, with every opponent probably in the Top Fifty; to win Roland Garros 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.

Because there is so much data here, we obviously need some analysis. The most wins in Slams were posted by Hénin-Hardenne (24), followed by Clijsters (22), Serena (19), Petrova (17), Davenport and Venus (15), Capriati and Myskina (12), and Suarez (11); no one else exceeded ten Slam wins. In terms of winning percentage, though, Serena leads with 95%, followed by 92% for Hénin-Hardenne, 85% for Clijsters, 83% for Venus, 81% for Petrova, and 80% for Mauresmo; no one else reached 880% (Davenport was at 79%, Capriati and Myskina at 75%).

The lowest number of wins at a Slam for a Top Thirty player was Krasnoroutskaya’s 2, followed by Pistolesi’s 3. The lowest for a Top Ten player was Dementieva’s 6.

In terms of points per Slam, it’s the same old Usual Suspects: Serena, then Hénin-Hardenne, then Clijsters well back, followed closely by Venus, then Davenport, Mauresmo, and Petrova with averages less than half of Venus’s.

Looking at Top Ten wins and losses, Hénin-Hardcenne had the most (7), followed by Serena (6) and Venus (4); much is revealed about Clijsters by her overall record of 2–4 against Top Ten players in Slams — and yet even that represents more wins over Top Ten players than were scored by any other highlight player. In terms of winning percentage against the Top Ten, ignoring players such as Harkleroad who faced only one Top Ten player and beat her, Serena’s 6-1 record is best, followed by Hénin-Hardenne’s 7–2 and Venus’s 4–2.

In terms of average opponents, we can’t see much that is revealing. Serena had it the toughest (average of 30), but the next few names aren’t exactly the players we’d have expected: Petrova had it next (34), then Kournikova, Sharapova, and Molik effectively tied at 36 (meaning they might be ranked much higher had they had easier draws), then Venus. We note that Hénin-Hardenne, despite two Slam semifinals and two titles (meaning that she had to face a lot of high-ranked players in late rounds), was a mere #12 on the difficulty list; she clearly had a lot of luck of the draw and fortunate upsets on her side!

Note: Harkleroad’s Points Earned include points earned in Australian Open qualiyfing (hence the non-even number of points), as do Krasnoroutskaya’s and Sharapova’s, but their won/lost do not count toward their 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 highlight players 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 — Asagoe is a fine example of this; she would probably be Top 15 if all events were suddenly put on grass). I have noted these players where I have been aware of them, but have not checked this for all players.

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 (Obata) 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. Surbiton winner Kristina Brandi) The list is in alphabetical order.

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.

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, injuries make it a little less meaningful at this time — e.g. Mauresmo was hurt by being unable to play Wimbledon; Davenport may have suffered for not playing much indoors. Ironically, the Williams Sisters probably benefitted from being injured.) 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; 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.

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: Petrova, Dokic, Martinez, Hantuchova, Schiavone, Bovina, Schnyder, Krasnoroutskaya, Pierce, Kuznetsova, Tulyaganova, Seles, Schett, Stevenson, C. Fernandez, Panova, Majoli, Bedanova, Kournikova, Kremer

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; Hénin-Hardenne is near the top of the list of matches played because she plays relatively little but wins a lot; Dementieva is #3 and Sugiyama #4 because they play moderately heavy schedules and win fairly regularly, and Pisnik is Top Ten because she wins only a little but plays a ton.

We note an interesting change in this regard. Last year, the player with the most matches was Jelena Dokic, with 79, followed by Anastasia Myskina, with 77 — two players with absurd schedules and moderate success. This year, the maximum number of matches has risen dramatically (to the highest number in three years), and is scored not by the insane overplayers (the top play-everything-in-sight player was Elena Dementieva, #3 in this list, who played 27 events in 2003). Rather, our top two in matches played were our top two players, Clijsters and Hénin-Hardenne. This breaks a three-year trend of busy players leading the list; the last time one of the Top Two in the WTA rankings stood higher than #4 in matches played was 2000, when Martina Hingis was the WTA #1 and her 87 matches played led the tour by far (Anna Kournikova was second, with a mere 73). It’s not clear if this is a trend, but it’s certainly a change.

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 — or ten, if a player were in Slam qualifying — 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 (Serena, Clijsters, Hénin-Hardenne, Venus, Mauresmo, Davenport) is Top Five material; 60% (Capriati) says Top Ten; 50% (Rubin, Zvonareva, Myskina, Petrova, Dementieva) should assure a Top 15 spot over a full schedule.

If you wish to see the players ordered based on % of matches played, the list is: Serena Williams (95%), Clijsters (92%), Hénin-Hardenne (92%), Venus Williams (83%), Davenport (73%), Mauresmo (73%), Capriati (65%), Rubin (57%), Zvonareva (52%), Myskina (51%), Dementieva (50%), Petrova (50%), Sugiyama (49%), Sharapova (49%), Seles (47%), Molik (45%), Pistolesi (45%), Déchy (44%), Raymond (44%), Suarez (43%), Tulyaganova (43%), Martinez (42%), Krasnoroutskaya (42%), Schiavone (42%), Hantuchova (42%), Coetzer (42%), Pierce (41%), Shaughnessy (41%), Serna (41%), Daniilidou (40%), Schnyder (40%), Tanasugarn (39%), Maleeva (39%), Kuznetsova (39%), Zuluaga (39%), Bovina (39%), Dokic (38%), Farina Elia (37%), Pisnik (35%), Likhovtseva (34%), Panova (29%), Clarisa Fernandez (29%), Schett (28%), Stevenson (27%), Kournikova (25%), Majoli (24%), Kremer (24%), Bedanova (21%)

Total Tour Events Played by the Top 150The following table sorts the Top 150 (as of November 11, 2003) 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 3568 events in 2003, up slightly from 3540 events in 2002, and dramatically from 3434 events in 2001. This even though the most typical result has gone down (the most popular number of events last year was 25, played by 18 players; this year, it’s 24). For the third straight year, the maximum was the same, at 34; last year, Ansley Cargill and Lubomira Kurhajcova reached that figure; the year before that, Alina Jidkova led the Top 150 with 34 events. After two years in which Tatiana Panova led the Top 50 with 31 events, thought, the Top 50 has a new leader: Jelena Dokic and Tina Pisnik, each with 30.

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 (before it expanded to a 48-draw) 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 year-end 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 “Super Nine” of the WTA Tour, consistently strong from year to year (compare the Majors rankings above). 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 (the latter 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 seeds #1-#3 and seeds #6–#8 (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. The smaller this number, 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.

Based on that, 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 (’s-Hertogenbosch, which is of course “home” for Clijsters and Hénin-Hardenne, and Strasbourg) are ranked above the lowest Tier II.

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 rather weak way of rating tournaments (is Leipzig, with three Top Ten players but those two including the world’s #1 and #2, really stronger than Berlin, which had seven though it lacked #1 and #2?) 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 25 players. (This is a change from 2002, when only Top Ten players counted; the purpose is to allow us to assess the sorts of events with only a handful of top 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. Players below #10 are counted at a discounted rate: 15 points for those ranked #11-#16, 10 for those ranked #17–#25. 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. .

Overall, these three systems agree fairly closely: If we look at the Top Ten events under each ranking, we find that no fewer than eight tournaments are Top Ten under all three: Australian Open, Filderstadt, Los Angeles Championships, Miami, Roland Garros, Rome, U. S. Open, and Wimbledon — all eight of which, naturally, we include among our ten “major events” for each year. Other tournaments which are Top Ten in one list or another but not in all are Antwerp, Berlin, Leipzig, San Diego, and Zurich.

Assessing the weakest tournaments is harder, but we note that the last three under the “Strength and Depth” ranking — Pattaya City, Tashkent, and Casablanca — also stand at the bottom of the Modified TSI list above. (We also note that, as usual, the weakest events are isolated geographically and in terms of time zones.)

All told, thirteen (and only thirteen) players earned a 350 point result, with fully half of them (18 of 36) being earned by Clijsters and Hénin-Hardenne. The list, with the number of 350+ point results, is Clijsters (9), Hénin-Hardenne (9), S. Williams (4), Davenport (2), Mauresmo (2), Myskina (2), V.

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 (+ Los Angeles Championships)

Lucky LosersAll told, there were 62 instances of Lucky Losers making WTA main draws in 2003 (an average of just more than one per tournament). Highlight players who were Lucky Losers were:

Silvia Farina Elia — New Haven (lost 1R of main draw)Magui Serna — Zurich (lost 1R of main draw)

Interestingly, Lucky Losers often came in bunches — that is, if a player managed Lucky Loserhood once, she was likely to have it happen more than once. The most extreme Lucky Loser was Katalin Marosi, who managed it three time (Budapest, Warsaw, Helsinki), and even won a main draw match at Budapest. Other multiple Lucky Losers:

Maria Elena Camerin (Casablanca, Roland Garros; won 1 main draw match)Gisela Dulko (Estoril, Birmingham; won 2 main draw matches)Tathiana Garbin (Charleston, Berlin; won 1 main draw match)Alina Jidkova (Amelia Island, Stanford; won 1 main draw match)Saori Obata (San Diego, New Haven; won 0 main draw matches)Arantxa Parra (Wimbledon, Bali; won 1 main draw match)Adriana Serra Zanetti (Birmingham, U. S. Open; won 1 main draw match)Vanessa Webb (Memphis, Birmingham; won 0 main draw matches)Marlene Weingärtner (Canberra, Amelia Island; won 3 main draw matches)

One-time Lucky Loser were: Maki Arai (Pattaya City), Olga Blahotova (Bol), Els Callens (Berlin), Caralina Castano (Madrid), Jill Craybas (Shanghai), Evie Dominikovic (Miami), Maureen Drake (Charleston), Stephanie Foretz (Scottsdale), Maria Goloviznina (Memphis), Anna-Lena Grönefeld (Philadelphia), Angela Haynes (Philadelphia), Janette Husarova (Canadian Open), Jin-Hee Kim (Japan Open), Sandra Kleinova (Estoril), Lubomira Kurhajcova (Sydney), Janet Lee (Philadelphia), Emilie Loit (Rome), Marta Marrero (Helsinki), Seda Noorlander (Wimbledon), Tatiana Perebiynis (New Haven), Wynne Prakusya (Birmingham), Nicole Pratt (San Diego), Libuse Prusova (Sopot), Samantha Reeves (Roland Garros), Maria Emelia Salerni (Casablanca), Claudine Schaul (Antwerp), Tina Schiechtl (Pattaya), Julia Schruff (Palermo), Sandra Klemenschits (Pattaya), Lydia Steinbach (Pattaya), Tian Tian Sun (Hyderabad), Elena Tatarkova (Estoril), Pichittra Thongdach (Pattaya), Meilen Tu (San Diego), Julia Vakulenko (Stanford), Andreea Vanc (Budapest), Renata Voracova (Warsaw), Angelique Widjaja (Los Angeles), and Zi Yan (Japan Open).

These 62 Lucky Losers compiled an overall record of 25-62 in main draw matches. No Lucky Loser compiled more than two main draw wins in a tournament; players who managed that were Dulko (Estoril), Loit (Rome), Weingärtner (Canberra), and Yan (Japan Open).

If we look at tournaments with the most Lucky Losers, the records were as follows:5 — Pattaya City4 — Birmingham3— Estoril, New Haven, Philadelphia, San Diego2 — Amelia Island, Berlin, Budapest, Casablanca, Charleston, Helsinki, Japan Open, Memphis, Roland

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.

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.)

1 Note that Slam quality points are doubled, giving artificially high values2 It should probably be noted that Capriati earned two-thirds of her points in matches where her opponent retired.

“Top Players” 2003Early 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.)

From the above table, we can list players in order of “accomplishments.” Remember that this list is compiled over three years. Serena Williams, e.g., was not the most accomplished player of 2003 (that honor is a tie between Clijsters and Hénin-Hardenne), but over the three year span, she has been the most accomplished.

The difficulty of even a single accomplishment is shown by the fact that nearly a third of the Top 25 (eight all told: Bovina, Coetzer, Farina Elia, Martinez, Pistolesi, Schiavone, Shaughnessy, Zvonareva) have no accomplishments in the past three years combined, and only eight players have managed as many as five in that whole time. (We note with interest that everyone with five has at least nine, and every one except Hingis, who played only about one and a half years of the past three, has a dozen or more; clearly, if you’ve got it, you’ve got it; if you don’t, you don’t.)Top Players:Player AccomplishmentsS.

Total points “in the system” (sum of the Best 17 scores of all ranked players): 150539.45 (152702.63 in 2002). The Top 25 have 56990 of these, or 37.9%.

1. Due to a change in the rankings rules for $10K Challengers, a number of players who would have been ranked in the past were not ranked in 2003. The sharp decline in the number of ranked players is due to this change.

2. This decline is due to the loss of half a dozen small tournaments from the schedule.3. How can there be a .45 and a .6? The WTA made a mistake, that’s how. In 2003, #164 Evgenia Kulikovskaya had

190.45 points; in 2002, Alexandra Srndovic, #498, was 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. They were 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 2003, with their effects. It lists the player, her assorted injuries, the events she missed in consequence (a somewhat uncertain list, based on past schedules) and the effect on her rankingPlayer Injury Events Missed Entirely Withdrew or played w/injury Start/End Rnk

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 — though, ironically, that was less of a factor this year than usual; the Williams Sisters didn’t play much doubles, but they also played less singles than usual; Martina Hingis is retired; that leads Lindsay Davenport as our top part-time doubles player. Still, the disparity is such that the following section only sketches the state of doubles.

Doubles Ranking FluctuationThe table below is similar to the Ranking Fluctuation Table for Singles, except that rankings are recorded monthly rather than twice monthly. All players who were in the Top 25 at any time during the year, and those who ended the year in the Top 30, are listed, with the exception of players who were retired and did not play (Hingis, Sanchez-Vicario), along with a handful of other players (e.g. Morariu) who had had solid past results or who came close to the Top 25.

As with the equivalent table for singles, the month-by-month ranking numbers are followed by statistics about the players’ rankings: mean (average), median, and standard deviation (indicating how much a player’s ranking varied during the year. So Arendt, with a standard deviation of 85.3, showed the biggest fluctuation in the course of the year, while Ruano Pascual, with a standard deviations of 0, showed the least variation).

For purposes of these calculations, players who were unranked for part of the year (Davenport, Serena Williams) are assumed to have had a ranking of 175 during that part of the year.

Note: Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario, ranked #7 at the end of 2002, retired at the end of that year but was still ranked until January 27; Kimberly Po-Messerli, #20 at year-end, also retired but was allowed to simply drop off the rankings two weeks after the U. S. Open (she is retained on the list because she remained high-ranked until fairly late in the year); Martina Hingis, #15 at year-end, did not formally retire but did not play and fell off the rankings after Miami (she was #15 on January 1, #74 on February and March 1, unranked thereafter)

Venus Williams, despite winning the Australian Open, was not ranked at any time during 2003, and so is omitted from the list.

Individual Results: The Top 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. For the players each team lost to, see the after this, “Head-to-Heads — Team Records and Losses.”

Head-to-Heads — Team Records and LossesHead-to-head records in doubles don’t mean much. It’s a much bigger achievement to beat Magdalena Maleeva when she plays with Liezel Huber than when she plays with Daja Bedanova. 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. Regular teams (defined somewhat arbitrarily as those with six or more events together) are shown in plain text; all others in italics

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 calculation of the latter is required because, in recent years, the best doubles players — Hingis, Davenport, Kournikova, Morariu, the Williams Sisters — didn’t play full schedules. Hingis, of course, no longer matters. In the other five cases, injury of course played a part — though, in the case of the Williams Sisters, the real problem is that doubles isn’t the first thing on their minds. (Even assuming that tennis is). With Hingis gone, the Williams Sisters no longer have any real competition for the title of “best active doubles team”; the points per tournament with no minimum reflects it — though it is not really a fair assessment of their ability; since they play only Slams, their score is artificially inflated. Put them on a normal schedule, and looking at their results this year and in the past, they would probably end up with a per-tournament score of about 280 (which would make them #2, trailing Clijsters but ahead of everyone else). But Clijsters would probably have a lower point total in that case (since the Sisters would have grabbed some of her points). It’s possible that they would have been #1 in doubles. But we’ll never know unless they start playing more, will we?

This calculation also moves Kournikova up to an at-least-respectable ranking; it will be most interesting to see where she ends up in 2004. Can she play? She won’t be as good without Hingis as she was with — but her Hingis-less numbers still say she just might be Top Ten on her own.

Note: the totallpoints for Marion Bartoli may be slightly off, since she was ranked so low at the start of the year, it has been impossible for me to determine her exact quality points. The error should not exceed five points, meaning that it should not affect her standings in the following lists.

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 Rankings22 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. (Black/Lihovtseva qualified as alternates, replacing Davenport/Raymond)

To put this in perspective, Martina Hingis’s Grand Slam year of 1998 earned her 36 points — 26 with Novotna, 5 with Lucic, 5 with Sukova. In 2002, the leader was Paola Suarez, with 25 points (21 with Virginia Ruano Pascual and four with others). The 2001 leader was Lisa Raymond, with 28 points (22 with Rennae Stubbs and six with others).

The following Top 30 singles players are not in the Top 100 in doubles: Justine Hénin-Hardenne (unranked in doubles), Serena Williams (unranked), Amélie Mauresmo (unranked), Jennifer Capriati (unranked), Venus Williams (unranked), Anna Smashnova-Pistolesi (unranked), and Amanda Coetzer (#138). That’s a total of seven Top 30 singles players below #100 in doubles — up from only three in 2001; there were nine in 2002. Even more noteworthy is the fact that six of the Top 30 are completely unranked in doubles (meaning that they played fewer than three events); last year, only four of the Top 30 were unranked.

The following Top 30 doubles players are not in the Top 100 in singles: Martina Navratilova (unranked in singles), Rennae Stubbs (unranked), Liezel Huber (#765), Janette Husarova (#125). This number, fascinatingly, has declined sharply; there were nine such doubles specialists in 2002, eight in 2001. And even of these four, Husarova was Top 50 in singles in 2002, and might yet return if she can stay healthy.

Historical Significance: Clijsters collapses again in an attempt to win a Slam; Hénin-Hardenne wins Slam #2 of the year and of her career after winning an unbelievable three-set semifinal win over Capriati; Martina Navratilova can’t quite win another Slam as Ruano Pascual and Suarez break their four-match losing streak in Slam finals

1. In a clear violation of WTA rules, #4 seed Venus Williams withdrew three days before the Open began, but seeds were not promoted; instead, Katarina Srebotnik was inserted into Venus’s spot as the #33 seed, meaning that #6 seed Jennifer Capriati would not have to face a Top Ten player or seed on her way to the semifinal.

The Tennis Almanac 2003A day-by-day account of what are, in the editor’s opinion, the most significant match(es) of each day of the year. Note that the comments, apart from later proofreading, are what I said at the time.December 29, 2002: Gold Coast Qualifying F — Nadia Petrova (8) def. Tatiana Poutchek (4) 6–1 6–0

Last year, Petrova made the semifinal at Gold Coast before hurting herself. Could she do it again?December 30, 2002: Auckland 1R — Vera Zvonareva def. Tatiana Panova (3) 6–4 6–1

Panova’s time in the Top 25 ends even before 2002 does.December 31, 2002: Gold Coast 1R — Lina Krasnoroutskaya (Q) def. Fabiola Zuluaga 6–3 6–1

Gold Coast 1R — Nadia Petrova (Q) def. Barbara Rittner 6–3 1–6 6–3Last year’s Russian injury victims both seem intent on coming back strong.

January 1, 2003: Gold Coast 2R — (4) Elena Bovina def. Nadia Petrova (Q) 5–7 6–3 6–3Not this again: Petrova at least managed to play through her match this year, but was injured even so, and had to withdraw from the doubles.

January 2: Gold Coast QF — Patty Schnyder (1) def. Meghann Shaughnessy (6), walkoverWith just one week left before her Sydney final (her last really good result), Shaughnessy is out with a left ankle sprain.

January 3: Auckland SF — Yoon Jeong Cho def. Anna Pistolesi (1) 7–6(7–2) 2–2, retiredCho’s third straight upset (over a heat-exhausted Pistolesi) gives her a final and a career high; Pistolesi sees her career-high #16 ranking start to drop.

January 4: Gold Coast F DOUBLES — Kuznetsova/Navratilova def. Déchy/Loit 6–4 6–4Career doubles title #167 for Navratilova ties her singles record.

January 5: Canberra 1R — Laura Granville (7) def. Dinara Safina 6–1 3–6 6–1Granville continues her slow but steady progress at the expense of a more-hyped player

January 6: Sydney 1R DOUBLES — (4) Kournikova/Rubin def. Davenport/Raymond 6–4 4–6 6–3The Davenport/Raymond reunion gets off to an unspectacular start.

January 7: Sydney 2R — Tatiana Panova def. Jennifer Capriati (1) 4–6 6–4 7–5For the third straight year, Capriati loses in the Sydney second round. (It’s the second straight year she’s lost her opener to a non-Top 25 player). Does that mean she’ll win a third Australian Open?

January 8: Sydney 2R — Chanda Rubin (7) def. Alexandra Stevenson 6–1 6–3And so Stevenson drops out of the Top 20 — at least for two week s — putting Eleni Daniilidou in (for that same two weeks).

January 9: Sydney QF — Lindsay Davenport (6) def. Daniela Hantuchova (4) 6–4 3–6 7–6(7–3)It ended on a double-fault, but it puts Davenport at #11, and after she beats Tatiana Panova in the semifinal, she’ll be #10.

January 10: Hobart F: Alicia Molik def. Amy Frazier (2) 6–2 4–6 6–4Frazier seems to be rediscovering her form, but it’s Molik who wins — her first WTA title.

January 11: Sydney F: Kim Clijsters (2) def. Lindsay Davenport (6) 6–4 6–3Clijsters’s win streak stretches to 12 in WTA matches (excluding Hopman Cup, where she lost) as Davenport blows another final.

January 13: Australian Open 1R — Marlene Weingärtner def. Jennifer Capriati (3) 2–6 7–6(8–6) 6–4A monumental collapse from 6–2 3–0 costs the defending champion her title and drops her to #5.

January 14: Australian Open 1R — Barbara Schwartz def. Elena Dementieva (17) 5–7 6–4 6–2Dementieva may well be on her way out of the Top 20.

January 15: Australian Open 2R — Nadia Petrova def. Ai Sugiyama (21) 6–4 6–4Petrova isn’t back in the Top 100 (quite) — but it looks like it won’t be long.

January 16: Australian Open 2R — Klara Koukalova (Q) def. Monica Seles (6) 6–7(6–8) 7–5 6–3Seles injured herself in the second game, and it cost her the match and the #7 ranking.

January 17: Australian Open 3R — Gagliardi/Mandula def. Dementieva/Husarova (3) 6–2 3–6 6–0In a word: Huh? Did someone hurt herself? (Later answer — no, but Dementieva/Husarova are done.)


January 18: Australian Open 3R — Amanda Coetzer (19) def. Anna Pistolesi (14) 6–0 6–2Let there be no doubt as to who remains Top Munchkin on the WTA Tour....

The first is A Tale of Two Chokers: Hénin led 7-5 3-0, and blew it, then Davenport let it slip away. The second puts Hantuchova at a career-high #5.

January 20: Australian Open 3R DOUBLES — Pierce/Stubbs def. Black/Likhovtseva (4) 6–3 2–6 6–1The bottom-heavy draw gets bottom-heavier as the top-ranked pair in the top half loses (the #1 seeds in the top half were Williams/Williams, who needed a wildcard even to get into the main draw but were seeded first by Grand Slam Fiat).

Williams/Williams didn’t earn the #1 seed, but they justified it anyway.January 25: Australian Open F — Serena Williams (1) def. Venus Williams (2) 7–6(7–4) 3–6 6–4

The “Serena Slam” becomes a reality.January 28: Pan Pacific 1R — Silvia Farina Elia (6) def. Mary Pierce (WC) 3–6 6–1 6–0

Pierce has her second meltdown of the year (earlier, she lost a match to Rubin in which she won the first set 6–0). And she has only two wins. Not a good start....

February 4: Paris 1R — Rita Grande def. (6) Silvia Farina Elia 6–3 1–6 7–5Grande has seemed down and out lately, but with this result she puts Farina Elia’s Top 20 ranking in jeopardy.

February 8: Hyderabad F — Tamarine Tanasugarn (2) def. Iroda Tulyaganova (5) 6–4 6–4A year ago, Tanasugarn was working on a spot in the Top 20. This year, she’s not that close — but she does win her first career title.

February 10: Antwerp 1R — Maja Matevzic def. Daja Bedanova 6-3 6-3Bedanova has only one main draw win this year; this loss will drop her out of the Top 40, and things are only getting worse.

February 14: Doha QF — Elena Likhovtseva (5) def. Magdalena Maleeva (3) 6-4 6-2Could Likhovtseva finally be breaking out of her slump?

February 15: Doha SF — Elena Likhovtseva (5) def. Lina Krasnoroutskaya (WC) 6–4 6–3Not only does Likhovtseva earn her first singles final since Leipzig 2000, she also puts herself back in the Top 30.

February 18 — Bogota 1R: Ivana Abramovic (Q) def. Cristina Torrens Valero (3) 7-5 2-6 6-3Torrens Valero’s troubles continue; this may drop her out of the Top 80.

February 24 — Scottsdale 1R: Francesca Schiavone def. Elena Bovina (7) 6–1 6–4Bovina had a fine hardcourt summerlast year, but she is having trouble getting started this year.

February 25 — Acapulco 1R DOUBLES: Krizan/Srebotnik (2) def.Kruger/M. J. Martinez 2–6 6–2 6–2

Not really much of a result, but interesting; last week Krizan and Srebotnik played separately for the first time in over a year, but here they are together again.

February 26 — Acapulco 2R: Shinobu Asagoe def. Elena Dementieva (1) 5–7 6–3 6–3Asagoe is looking like her old self. Dementieva is looking like — well, like her simple game has been solved. Maybe this loss was the one that would fire her up to fix things. (See Amelia Island.)


February 27 — Scottsdale 2R: Ai Sugiyama def. Lindsay Davenport (3) 7–6(7–5) 4–6 6–3On a truly wild day on which Serena Williams withdrew and Jelena Dokic and Chanda Rubin were upset, this has to be the biggest surprise

February 28 — Scottsdale QF: Ai Sugiyama def. (6) Eleni Daniilidou (6) 7–5 7–5Having to play two singles matches in one day doubtless did not help Daniilidou. But she still hits a career high of #15. Sugiyama, #25 coming in, is up to #22 — and if she can win her semifinal against Alexandra Stevenson, she’ll be Top 20.

March 1 — Scottsdale SF DOUBLES: Raymond/Davenport def. Shaughnessy/Stubbs 7–5 6–2In their first meeting this year, in Tokyo, Stubbs beat Raymond. Now Raymond returns the favour.

March 2 — Scottsdale SF: Ai Sugiyama def. Alexandra Stevenson 6–7(2–7) 6–2 7–6(9–7)Scottsdale F: Ai Sugiyama def. Kim Clijsters (2) 3–6 7–5 6–4Scottsdale SF DOUBLES: Clijsters/Sugiyama (2) def. Bartoli/Cohen Aloro 7–5 6–0Scottsdale F DOUBLES: Clijsters/Sugiyama (2) def. Davenport/Raymond 6–1 6–4

In what is surely the most amazing day of tennis recorded in recent memory, Sugiyama plays four matches, wins them all, takes home her first-ever Tier II title, and hits the Top Twenty. Plus she and Clijsters now have three doubles titles this year.

March 5 — Indian Wells 1R: Stephanie Cohen Aloro (WC) def. Barbara Schett 4–6 6–1 6–3Cohen Aloro hits the Top 100 as Schett’s slump continues

March 6 — Indian Wells 2R: Svetlana Kuznetsova def. Anastasia Myskina (7) 6–4 6–7(7–9) 6–3An all-Russian battle puts Kuznetsova in the Top Forty and may cost Myskina a shot at the Top Ten.

March 7 — Indian Wells 2R: Barbara Rittner def. Jelena Dokic (6) 6–1 5–7 6–3Indian Wells 2R: Cara Black def. Anna Pistolesi (11) 7–6(7–3) 6–3

It looks more and more like people have solved Dokic (not hard to do) — but it’s Pistolesi who is on the verge of falling out of the Top 20.

March 8 — Indian Wells 3R: Vera Zvonareva def. Svetlana Kuznetsova 3–6 7–6(7–5) 6–4On a dull day almost completely devoid of surprises, Zvonareva overcomes her slowcourt prejudice to surprise her fellow Most Impressive Newcomer candidate.

March 9 — Indian Wells 3R: Ai Sugiyama (21) def. Magdalena Maleeva (10) 6–4 6–3That makes it seven straight wins for Sugiyama.

March 10 — Indian Wells R16: Vera Zvonareva def. Meghann Shaughnessy (23) 6–3 4–6 6–2And Shaughnessy started the year so well! This was pure and simple inconsistency.

March 11 — Indian Wells R16: Amanda Coetzer (16) def. Daniela Hantuchova (3) 6–4 6–4Indian Wells R16: Chanda Rubin (8) def. Ai Sugiyama (21) 0–6 6–4 6–4

Coetzer’s continued hot streak means that Daniela Hantuchova will fall to no better than #8, while Chanda Rubin will finally hit the Top Ten as she stops Ai Sugiyama’s seven match winning streak.

March 12 — Indian Wells QF: Lindsay Davenport (4) def. Amélie Mauresmo (5), WalkoverIndian Wells SF DOUBLES:

Clijsters/Sugiyama (3) def. Ruano Pascual/Suarez (1) 6–1 1–1, retired (Suarez/Flu)Indian Wells Flu, which cancelled or shortened half a dozen men’s matches, messes up all but one women’s match also.

March 13 — Indian Wells QF: Conchita Martinez (26) def. Amanda Coetzer (16) 6–2 6–1Two comeback players trying to catch up with today’s game. Coetzer had looked better lately, but Martinez had history on her side, having dominated their previous matches.

March 14 — Indian Wells SF: Lindsay Davenport (4) def. Jennifer Capriati (2) 6–4 4–6 6–4The top contenders for third-best American showed how close that contest is.

March 16 — Indian Wells F: Kim Clijsters (1) d. Lindsay Davenport (4) 6–4 7–5Ho-hum. Another event, another Clijsters win over Davenport. It gives Clijsters her first Tier I title.

March 19 — Miami 1R: Alicia Molik def. Barbara Schett 6–7(5–7) 6–2 7–6(7–3)Molik’s return to action hands Schett her sixth straight loss and drops the Austrian out of the Top Fifty.


March 20 — Miami 1R: Dinara Safina def. Anna Kournikova 6–1 6–4Kournikova is back, but her serve made its usual post-injury disappearance — eight double faults in the first set!

March 21 — Miami 2R: Alicia Molik def. (5) Daniela Hantuchova 2–6 7–5 6–0It’s only Molik’s second match back, but even so, she records her first-ever Top Ten win after saving match points. Hantuchova really needs to look at what is going on....

March 22 — Miami 2R: Sarah Taylor (WC) def. Anastasia Myskina (11) 7–5 6–4The worst loss of Myskina’s year is the best win of Taylor’s career, and removes the last significant Russian from the draw.

March 23 — Miami 3R: Marlene Weingärtner (Q) def. Eleni Daniilidou (15) 7–6(8–6) 6–3Miami 3R: Sarah Taylor (WC) def. Ai Sugiyama (17) 2–6 6–4 6–3Miami 3R: Alicia Molik def. Elena Likhovtseva (28) 7-6(9-7) 6-3

We have no fewer than four players ranked below #80 in the Round of Sixteen (these three plus Marion Bartoli), and these three have all pulled off two upsets!

March 24 — Miami 4R: Meghann Shaughnessy (23) def. Venus Williams (2) 7–6(7–2) 6–1Shaughnessy is now guaranteed a return to the Top 20 — and suddenly Kim Clijsters looks almost sure to become #2 this spring. It could even happen at Miami if Clijsters wins the event.

March 25 — Miami 2R DOUBLES: Asagoe/Miyagi def. Hantuchova/Shaughnessy (4) 6–2 6–1Not a formal upset — but look at the score and ask, what is wrong with Hantuchova?

March 26 — Miami QF: Chanda Rubin (10) def. Justine Hénin-Hardenne (4) 6–3 6–2Miami QF DOUBLES:

Kuznetsova/Navratilova def. Ruano Pascual/Suarez (1) 7–6(9–7) 6–7(5–7) 6–3Rubin is up to #8, and Navratilova may yet get back to the Top 20 in doubles.

March 27 — Miami SF: Serena Williams (1) def. Kim Clijsters (3) 6–4 6–2On a day when almost all play was stopped by rain, Serena temporarily ends Clijsters’s run at #2.

March 28 — Miami SF: Jennifer Capriati (6) def. Chanda Rubin (12) 6–2 6–4Capriati reaches her third straight Miami final and gives herself a shot at remaining #5.

March 29 — Miami F: Serena Williams (1) def. Jennifer Capriati (6) 4–6 6–4 6–1Same old, same old; Serena still undefeated, Capriati still unable to win titles.

March 30 — Miami F DOUBLES: L. Huber/Maleeva def. Asagoe/Miyagi 6–4 3–6 7–5And so Maleeva, who is almost entirely a singles player, wins the biggest event of her life — in doubles!

March 31 — Sarasota 1R: Ansley Cargill (WC) def. Patty Schnyder (3) 6–4 2–6 6–4Looks like Schnyder may be back in Slump Mode.

April 1 — Sarasota 1R: Paola Suarez def. Jelena Dokic (1) 6–2 6–3Sarasota 1R: Iroda Tulyaganova def. Tatiana Panova (8) 6–3 7–5

Both last year’s winner and last year’s finalist are out on the same day, and both may pay: Panova will fall out of the Top 30, and Dokic may lose her #10 spot to Anastasia Myskina

April 2 — Sarasota 2R: Ansley Cargill (WC) def. Tamarine Tanasugarn 6-1 4-6 6-4Thanks to Tanasugarn’s clay weakness, Cargill has her first WTA quarterfinal — and a Top 100 ranking.

April 3 — Sarasota 2R: Alicia Molik (Q) def. Conchita Martinez 6–2 6–1I didn’t think Molik could extend her hot streak to clay — but she has.

April 4 — Sarasota QF: Alicia Molik (Q) def. Clarisa Fernandez 6–3 4–3, retiredAnd still Molik marches on....

April 5 — Casablanca F: Rita Grande (2) def. Antonella Serra Zanetti 6–2 4–6 6–1A breakthrough for both finalists: Serra Zanetti finally reaches a final, and Grande at last looks like she might be recovering her 2001 form.

April 6 — Sarasota F: Anastasia Myskina (2) def. Alicia Molik (Q) 6–4 6–1Myskina is Top Ten again — and this time it’s likely to last a while.


April 7 — Charleston 1R: Dally Randriantefy (Q) def. Tamarine Tanasugarn 6–1 7–5Tanasugarn’s clay troubles give Randriantefy her first win of the year to bring her close to a career high.

April 8 — Charleston 2R: Vera Zvonareva def. Patty Schnyder (8) 6–2 4–6 6–4Zvonareva is getting close to the Top 30, and Schnyder may be out of the Top 20 when Charleston 2002 comes off.

April 9 — Charleston 3R: Elena Dementieva (13) def. Iva Majoli 3–6 7–5 6–1It wasn’t the day’s biggest upset (that came when #101 Ashley Harkleroad beat #16 Elena Bovina); indeed, it wasn’t an upset at all — but it will hit defending champ Majoli good and hard in the rankings.

April 10 — Charleston 2R: Mary Pierce def. Anastasia Myskina (7) 6–4 1–6 6–2Charleston 3R: Mary Pierce def. Amanda Coetzer (10) 6–3 1–6 6–0

With the rains finally relenting (well, almost), it was a day for wild results: Harkleroad pulled off her second big upset as she beat Meghann Shaughnessy; Vera Zvonareva hit the Top 30 with a win over Paola Suarez — and then this. Pierce finished the first match (resumed from the day before at 2–0 for Pierce in the final set), and then won another three-setter to put herself firmly back in the Top 40.

April 11 — Charleston QF: Ashley Harkleroad (WC) def. Daniela Hantuchova (WC) 6–2 6–1Yes, Hantuchova had played three matches the day before, but this is ridiculous. Harkleroad’s first Top Ten win should put her in the Top Sixty.

April 12 — Charleston SF: Serena Williams (1) def. Lindsay Davenport (3) 6–1 7–5If someone is going to finally beat Serena, she’s going to have to put up a better effort than Davenport did for most of this match!

April 13 — Charleston F: Justine Hénin-Hardenne (2) def. Serena Williams (1) 6–3 6–4Not only does Hénin-Hardenne win her second title of the year, and the second Tier I of her career, but she ends Serena’s winning streak at 21.

April 14 — Amelia Island 1R: Julia Vakulenko (Q) def. Amy Frazier 6–2 6–4Frazier hadn’t played since the Australian Open due to an injury — and it showed.

April 15 — Budapest 1R: Iveta Benesova def. Martina Müller 6–2 4–6 6–2It’s no big surprise that Müller lost, but the defending champion’s ouster will cost her her Top 100 ranking.

April 16 — Charleston 2R: Monica Seles (6) def. Anca Barna 2–6 7–6(7–5) 6–3Seles, plagued by a stiff neck as well as the effects of her foot injury, was unimpresssive, but she’s back.

April 17 — Budapest 2R: Jelena Jankovic (Q) def. Iva Majoli (1), walkoverAnd so Majoli leaves the Top Fifty without even a whimper of a match.

April 18 — Charleston QF: Lindsay Davenport (2) def. Patty Schnyder (7) 6–1 6–1In one of the best displays of power and accuracy I’ve ever seen, Davenport kicks Schnyder out of the Top Fifteen.

April 19 — Charleston SF: Elena Dementieva (10) def. Justine Hénin-Hardenne (1) 3–6 6–4 7–5Not only does Dementieva stop Hénin-Hardenne’s winning streak at eight (plus a walkover) and reach another final, she also puts herself in the Top Fifteen.

April 20 — Charleston F: Elena Dementieva (10) def. Lindsay Davenport (2) 4–6 7–5 6–3Dementieva overcomes nerves and her serve to win her first career title.

April 28 — Warsaw 1R: Anna Pistolesi (7) def. Barbara Schett 6–4 6–2That’s nine straight losses for Schett.

April 29 — Warsaw 1R: Arantxa Parra (Q) def. Magdalena Maleeva (5) 6-7(0-7) 6-4 6-1Parra scores her first WTA win as Maleeva suffers her worst loss of the year.

April 30 — Warsaw 1R: Denisa Chladkova def. Iva Majoli 6–1 6–4And so Majoli fails to defend her last decent result of 2002.

May 1 — Bol 2R: Gala Leon Garcia (Q) def. Patty Schnyder (1) 7–6(7–4) 6–4Leon Garcia, ranked #137, knocks Schnyder out of the Top Twenty


May 2 — Warsaw QF: Jelena Dokic (4) def. Magui Serna 7–5 6–2No real surprise, but it ends Serna’s winning streak at twelve (fourteen counting Fed Cup).

May 3 — Bol F DOUBLES: Mandula/Wartusch (1) def. Gagliardi/Schnyder (2) 6–3 6–2That’s twelve straight matches, and three straight titles, for Mandula

May 4 — Warsaw F: Amélie Mauresmo (2) def. Venus Williams (1) 6–7(6–8) 6–0 3–0, retiredNot only does Mauresmo beat Venus for the first time, she threatens Venus’s #2 Roland Garros seed.

May 5 — Berlin 1R: Dinara Safina (Q) def. (10) Elena Dementieva 2–6 6–2 1–0, RetiredDementieva was the top player who had to play in the first round, and ended up with a left foot strain. A crummy way to celebrate her first WTA match since winning her first title.

May 6 — Berlin 2R: Denisa Chladkova def. (11) Magdalena Maleeva 6–7(1–7) 6–1 6–4Maleeva’s struggles continue as Chladkova hits a career high.

May 7 — Berlin 2R: Vera Zvonareva def. Anastasia Myskina (9) 6–1 6–2For the fourth time in six weeks, Jelena Dokic and Anastasia Myskina swap the #10 ranking, with Dokic gaining it back as a result of this Myskina loss.

May 8 — Berlin 3R: Iroda Tulyaganova def. Jelena Dokic (8) 4–6 6–2 7–6(7–0)Once Myskina fell, could Dokic be far behind? The win puts Tulyaganova back in the Top 40.

May 9 — Berlin QF DOUBLES: L. Huber/Maleeva def. (4) Dokic/Petrova 6–4 7–5Are Huber and Maleeva ever going to lose? Talk about a team that’s more than the sum of its parts.

May 10 — Berlin SF: Kim Clijsters (1) def. Jennifer Capriati (4) 6–4 6–7(2–7) 6–4Clijsters came uncomfortably close to muffing it, blowing four match points in the second set, and seeming to be losing control in the third, but turned it around to again move up to #2 in the rankings.

May 11 — Berlin F: Justine Hénin-Hardenne (3) def. Kim Clijsters (1) 6–4 4–6 7–5Hénin-Hardenne defends the best title of her career, and Clijsters will have to wait another week to know if she will be the #2 seed at Roland Garros.

May 12 — Rome 1R: Laura Granville def. Meghann Shaughnessy (15) 7–5 6–3Granville earns herself a Roland Garros seed — and costs Kim Clijsters enough potential quality points that she may end up the #2 French Open seed.

May 13 — Rome 2R: Emilie Loit (LL) def. (6) Chanda Rubin 6–2 1–6 6–3Loit breaks into the Top Fifty for the first time; Rubin still hasn’t won a match on clay this year.

May 14 — Rome 2R: Nadia Petrova def. Monica Seles (10) 6–3 4–1, retired (Left Foot Injury)Here we go again — reports are that this foot injury may be the one that ends Seles’s career

May 15 — Rome 3R: Conchita Martinez def. Daniela Hantuchova (7) 6–3 6–3Rome 3R: Ai Sugiyama (13) def. Patty Schnyder (17) 6–2 6–1

Hantuchova crashes again, meaning she won’t get the #8 Roland Garros seed, but Sugiyama continues her strange success at Rome and earns the #16 seed.

May 16 — Rome QF: Callens/Loit def. Ruano Pascual/Suarez (1) 7–5 6–0It’s been a while since Els Callens has looked like a top doubles player. This will help a lot.

May 17 — Rome SF: Amélie Mauresmo (4) def. Serena Williams (1) 1–6 6–5 6–3 Rome SF: Kim Clijsters (2) def. Ai Sugiyama (13) 6–3 6–2

Mauresmo rises to #5 and, by becoming the only player to beat both Williameses this year, ensures that Serena will go into Roland Garros without a clay title this year; Clijsters clinches the #2 French Open seed, meaning that Serena might have to face her sister in the semifinal. Not a good Williams day....

May 18 — Rome F: Kim Clijsters (2) def. Amélie Mauresmo (4) 3–6 7–6(7–3) 6–0After collapsing in the Berlin final, and being two points from defeat this time, Clijsters puts things together. She now finds herself with a shot at the #1 ranking at Wimbledon

May 19 — Madrid 1R: Barbara Schett def. Rita Grande 6–3 6–2Schett has won matches for two weeks straight. It’s been a while.

May 20 — Strasbourg 1R: Maja Matevzic def. (5) Elena Bovina 6–3 6–4Matevzic spoils Bovina’s comeback and reaches a career high.

May 23 — Strasbourg SF: Karolina Sprem (Q) def. Vera Zvonareva (6) 3–6 6–3 6–4Sprem, playing her first WTA main draw, makes the final and keeps Zvonareva from the Top 20.

May 24 — Strasbourg F: Silvia Farina Elia (7) def. Karolina Sprem (Q) 6-3 4-6 6-4Madrid F: Chanda Rubin (1) def. Maria Sanchez Lorenzo (WC) 6-4 5-7 6-4

Rubin completes the surface sweep, and Farina Elia threepeats at Strasbourg. A pretty historic week for one with two Tier III events....

May 26 — Roland Garros 1R: Clarisa Fernandez (28) def. Mary Pierce 6–2 6–3Fernandez keeps her hopes of staying in the Top 50 alive, but Pierce will fall below #80.

May 27 — Roland Garros 1R: Nadia Petrova def. Monica Seles (12) 6–4 6–0You have to wonder how much longer Monica Seles can keep playing on that foot.

May 28 — Roland Garros 2R: Ashley Harkleroad def. Daniela Hantuchova (9) 7–6(7–2) 4–6 9–7Roland Garros 2R: Barbara Schett def. Clarisa Fernandez (28) 6–4 5–7 6–1

Schett returns to the Top 50, and Harkleroad threatens the Top 40, as Fernandez plummets to around #60 and Hantuchova manages another bad loss.

May 29 — Roland Garros 1R DOUBLES: Dementieva/Krasnoroutskaya def.Morariu/Stubbs 6–1 7–6(7–2)

Last year’s finalist (Stubbs) loses in the first round and will likely fall out of the Top Ten.May 30 — Roland Garros 3R: Ai Sugiyama (16) def. Meghann Shaughnessy (18) 6–1 6–4

On a day almost completely without upsets, Sugiyama clinches a career high.May 31 — Roland Garros 3R: Kim Clijsters (2) def. Paola Suarez (30) 6–2 6–1

It wasn’t much of a match, but it drops Suarez to no better than #50.June 1 — Roland Garros 4R: Vera Zvonareva (22) def. Venus Williams (3) 2–6 6–2 6–4

Roland Garros 4R: Conchita Martinez (24) def. Lindsay Davenport (6) 6–4 2–0, retiredRoland Garros 4R: Nadia Petrova def. Jennifer Capriati (7) 6–3 4–6 6–3

After six days in which the top seeds generally weren’t even threatened (all eight of the top seeds made the fourth round), things suddenly start jumping. Venus may lose the #3 ranking; Capriati will lost the #7 spot, and Martinez and Zvonareva are in the Top 20.

June 2 — Roland Garros 3R DOUBLES: Bovina/Molik def. Davenport/Raymond (3) walkoverDavenport’s latest injury will cost Raymond the #3 doubles ranking; she may fall as low as #6.

June 3 — Roland Garros QF: Justine Hénin-Hardenne (4) def. Chanda Rubin (8) 6–3 6–2Hénin-Hardenne’s win moves her to a career-high #3 and drops Venus Williams to #4.

June 4 — Roland Garros QF DOUBLES: Ruano Pascual/Suarez (1)def. Husarova/Schett (11) 6–1 6–3

That’s sixteens straight Roland Garros wins for the top seeds.June 5 — Roland Garros SF: Justine Hénin-Hardenne (4) def. Serena Williams (1) 6–2 4–6 7–5

Not only do we have two Belgians, and two non-Williamses, in the finals (Kim Clijsters beat Nadia Petrova to make the final also), but suddenly Serena’s #1 ranking is in actual danger.

June 6 — Roland Garros SF DOUBLES: Ruano Pascual/Suarez (1)def. Hantuchova/Rubin (9) 6–2 7–6(7–5)

Make it seventeen straight for Ruano Pascual/Suarez at Roland Garros.June 7 — Roland Garros F: Justine Hénin-Hardenne (4) def. Kim Clijsters (2) 6–0 6–4

Showing no nerves at all, while Clijsters played like a club player, Hénin-Hardenne wins her first Slam and ends a streak of seventeen straight Slam titles for big hitters.


June 8 — Roland Garros F DOUBLES: Clijsters/Sugiyama (2)def. Ruano Pascual/Suarez (1) 6–7(5–7) 6–2 9–7

Clijsters does a fine job of making up for the singles final, winning her first doubles Slam. She also moves up to #4 in the world in doubles, with Sugiyama #3 — and they’ll have a chance for the top spot at Wimbledon.

June 9 — Birmingham 1R: Els Callens def. Nicole Pratt (15) 6–3 6–2Last year’s semifinalist will lose about a dozen ranking spots.

June 10 — Birmingham 2R: Shinobu Asagoe def. Elena Bovina (4) 6–3 6–3Asagoe returns to the Top 100 as Bovina’s post-injury struggles continue.

June 11 — Vienna 2R: Karolina Sprem (Q) def. Anna Pistolesi (3) 6–4 3–6 7–5Sprem’s win over the defending champion will drop Pistolesi out of the Top 25.

June 12 — Birmingham 3R: Tamarine Tanasugarn (10) def. Lisa Raymond (6) 6–2 6–2A rerun of the 2000 final reverses the outcome of that final.

June 13 — Birmingham QF: Maria Sharapova (Q) def. Elena Dementieva (1) 2–6 7–6(7–4) 6–2Sharapova, who earlier beat Déchy and Mikaelian, posts her best win yet, hits the Top 100, reaches her first WTA semifinal, and leaves Dementieva ranked no better than #15.

June 14 — Vienna F: Paola Suarez (6) def. Karolina Sprem (Q) 7–6(7–0) 2–6 6–4Deja vu: At Strasbourg, Sprem qualified for a clay Tier III, beat a seed early on, beat Vera Zvonareva in the semifinal, and lost a three set final. Spooky.

June 15 — Birmingham F: Magdalena Maleeva (3) def. Shinobu Asagoe 6–1 6–4Maleeva’s tenth career title earns her the #12 Wimbledon seed and the surface sweep; Asagoe loses her first career final — but at least she got there; counting the Gifu Challenger, that’s ten straight grass wins.

June 16 — Eastbourne 1R: Silvia Farina Elia def. Clarisa Fernandez 6–2 6–1Reality continues to pound at Fernadez.

June 17 — Eastbourne 1R: Anna Pistolesi def. Eleni Daniilidou 6–2 7–6(7–2)A rare Pistolesi grass win costs Daniilidou her Top 20 ranking

June 18 — Eastbourne 2R: Silvia Farina Elia def. Lindsay Davenport (1) 6–4 3–6 7–6(7–3)’s-Hertogenbosch 2R: Barbara Rittner (Alt) def. Amélie Mauresmo (3) 6–7(1–7) 6–0 7–5

Wind, injury, and indifference cost Davenport, but she’ll keep her #5 ranking as Mauresmo suffers her worst loss in more than three years.

June 19 — ’s-Hertogenbosch QF DOUBLES: Petrova/Pierce def. Ruano Pascual/Suarez (1) 6–4 6–4Huh? It was a crummy day for top doubles seeds (#1 Likhovtseva/Sugiyama also lost, to Capriati/Serna, at Eastbourne) — but this is hard to believe.

June 20 — Eastbourne SF: Chanda Rubin (2) def. Jennifer Capriati (3) 2–6 7–6(7–5) 6–2Rubin saves two match points to extend her winning streak at Eastbourne to eight.

June 21 — ’s-Hertogenbosch F: Kim Clijsters (1) def. Justine Hénin-Hardenne (2) 6–7(4–7) 3–0, Retired (Left Wrist Sprain)It wasn’t much of a final, but it stops Hénin’s streak at fifteen, gives Clijsters the career surface sweep, and improves the odds of her gaining the #1 ranking.

June 23 — Wimbledon 1R: Chanda Rubin (7) def. Iva Majoli 6–3 6–0Rubin’s run reaches five matches as she dumps Majoli below #75.

June 24 — Wimbledon 1R: Akiko Morigami def. Tamarine Tanasugarn (32) 6–4 6–3Tanasugarn’s five-year streak of making Wimbledon fourth rounds ends; she may fall below #35.

June 25 — Wimbledon 2R: Shinobu Asagoe def. Daniela Hantuchova (9) 0–6 6–4 12–10By the end, Hantuchova had tears in her eyes. The audience probably was checking its blood pressure. Asagoe will gain nearly 20 ranking spots, but Hantuchova has a lot to think about.

June 26 — Wimbledon 2R: Alicia Molik def. Elena Likhovtseva (31) 6–3 6–4And so Molik goes back into the Top Fifty, and Likhovtseva goes out.


June 27 — Wimbledon 3R: Silvia Farina Elia (27) def. Chanda Rubin (7) 7–6(8–6) 6–3A fine match by Farina Elia, and a few ill-timed mistakes by Rubin, and we lose our first high seed.

June 28 — Wimbledon 2R DOUBLES: Bedanova/Voracovadef. Hantuchova/Rubin (9) 6–7(4–7) 6–1 6–3

Yet another long-match collapse by Hantuchova is going to cost Rubin dearly in the doubles rankings.June 30 — Wimbledon 3R DOUBLES: Mandula/Wartusch (12)

def. Black/Likhovtseva (5) 3–6 7–6(8–6) 6–2This upset will cost at least Likhovtseva, and possibly Black also, her Top 10 doubles ranking.

July 1 — Wimbledon 3R DOUBLES: Dementieva/Krasnoroutskaya (15)def. Williams/Williams (3) 6–3 3–6 7–5

Unbeatable? Hah. All right, Venus and Serena haven’t lost since 2001 — but it’s only their third tournament in that time. It will drop Serena out of the doubles Top 20 (Venus remains unranked)

July 2 — Wimbledon QF DOUBLES: Ruano Pascual/Suarez (1)def. Mandula/Wartusch (12) 6–2 7–6(7–5)

This doesn’t quite guarantee that Ruano Pascual and Suarez will stay #1, but it comes close.July 3 — Wimbledon SF: Venus Williams (4) def. Kim Clijsters (2) 4–6 6–3 6–1

Another Clijsters meltdown — Venus was injured and hardly able to play — means Serena Williams will stay #1.

July 4 — Wimbledon SF DOUBLES: Ruano Pascual/Suarez (1)def. Dementieva/Krasnoroutskaya (15) 3–6 6–1 6–2

The sixth straight Slam final for Ruano Pascual and Suarez ensures that Suarez will stay #1 — for now.July 5 — Wimbledon F: Serena Williams (1) def. Venus Williams (4) 4–6 6–4 6–2

With Venus injured, it was about as ugly as it could get — but Serena wins Slam #6.July 6 — Wimbledon F DOUBLES: Clijsters/Sugiyama (2)

def. Ruano Pascual/Suarez (1) 6–4 6–4It was ugly, especially for a grass doubles match, but it gives Clijsters and Sugiyama their second straight Slam, and will probably cost Ruano Pascual and Suarez the top rankings in the near future.

July 7 — Palermo 1R: Ludmila Cervanova def. Rossan Neffa-de Los Rios 6–4 6–2The struggles continue for de Los Rios, who will end the year far below #100.

July 8 — Palermo 1R: Henrieta Nagyova def. Gala Leon Garcia 4–6 7–5 6–1It’s true: Nagyova won a match!

July 9 — Palermo 2R: Ludmila Cervanova def. (1) Magui Serna 6–3 6–1Clearly Magui Serna still suffers from Serna-itis.

July 10 — Palermo 2R: Henrieta Nagyova def. (7) Emilie Loit 6–3 6–2Two in a row for Nagyova. It’s only the second time this year.

July 11 — Palermo QF: Dinara Safina (9) def. Francesca Schiavone (3) 6–3 6–2Safina obviously had one of her better days, and by so doing, significantly hurts Schiavone’s chances of earning a U. S. Open seed.

July 12 — Palermo SF: Katarina Srebotnik (4) def. Anabel Medina Garrigues 6–3 6–2So much for Medina Garrigues’s latest comeback attempt

July 13 — Palermo F: Dinara Safina (9) def. Katarina Srebotnik (4) 6–3 6–4Safina wins title #2 and hits a career high

July 21 — Stanford 1R: Marion Bartoli def. Laura Granville 6–4 4–6 6–3Granville remains in her sophomore slump, but Bartoli may hit the Top 50.

July 22 — Stanford 1R: Maria Vento-Kabchi (Q) def. Nadia Petrova (8) 6–1 7–6(7–4)When Petrova wins, she wins big. When she loses... well, suffice it to say that this is her fourth loss this year to a player ranked below #100.

July 23 — Stanford 2R: Amy Frazier def. Daniela Hantuchova (4) 6–2 6–4Frazier’s California magic strikes again; this may put her back in the Top 40.


July 24 — Stanford QF DOUBLES: Ashley/Spears def. Shaughnessy/Stubbs (2) 6–4 6–2Teryn Ashley earlier lost her first WTA main draw singles match (to Stevenson), but she does pick up a nice doubles win.

July 25 — Stanford QF: Maria Vento-Kabchi (Q) def. Jelena Dokic (5) 6–4 6–3Jelena Dokic has six straight losses to non-Top Fifty players — but this is arguably the worst.

July 26 — Stanford SF: Jennifer Capriati (3) def. Maria Vento-Kabchi (Q) 6-4 6-4Vento-Kabchi is back in the Top 100, but it’s Capriati who is in her first final since Miami.

July 27 — Stanford F: Kim Clijsters (2) def. Jennifer Capriati (3) 4–6 6–4 6–2Capriati might have made the final, but she did what she always does any more: Lose.

July 28 — San Diego 1R: Magui Serna def. Laura Granville 6–3 6–3More Sophomore Slump for Granville.

July 29 — San Diego 2R: Marion Bartoli def. (14) Meghann Shaughnessy 3–6 7–6(7–5) 7–5Shaughnessy continues to slump as Bartoli firmly entrenches herself in the Top 50.

July 30 — San Diego 2R: Lisa Raymond def. Ai Sugiyama (8) 6–0 2–6 6–4Sugiyama loses a chance to hit the Top Ten.

July 31 — Sopot QF: Petra Mandula (8) def. Anastasia Myskina (1) 6-4 3-0 Retired (Illness)Illness was the story of the day at Sopot; three of four matches ended with a player unable to finish. This was the biggest upset, and cost Myskina a chance to move above #10.

August 1 — San Diego QF: Lindsay Davenport (4) def. Chanda Rubin (6) 6–3 6–3Davenport passes Venus Williams to regain the #4 ranking. And, with the announcement that Serena Williams needs knee surgery and will miss the U. S. Open (and so lose the #1 ranking), Davenport might just be able to take advantage of that situation.

August 2 — San Diego SF: Kim Clijsters (2) def. Lindsay Davenport (4) 6–3 6–3One more win, and Clijsters guarantees herself the #1 ranking after San Diego.

August 3 — San Diego F: Justine Hénin-Hardenne (3) d. Kim Clijsters (2) 3–6 6–2 6-3San Diego F DOUBLES: Clijsters/Sugiyama (2) def. Davenport/Raymond (3) 6–4 7–5

Clijsters once again melts down in the singles final, costing her a guaranteed #1 ranking — but does gain the #1 spot in doubles.

August 4 — Los Angeles 1R: Tamarine Tanasugarn def. Mary Pierce (WC) 7–6(7–2) 6–3Tanasugarn stays Top Forty (probably); Pierce stays inconsistent.

August 5 — Los Angeles 2R: Maria Sharapova def. Nadia Petrova (14) 6–2 2–6 7–5Sharapova sets out to prove her grass season was no fluke.

August 6 — Los Angeles 1R DOUBLES: Black/Likhovtseva (2) def. Asagoe/Sugiyama 4–6 7–5 6–1An so the fate of the #1 doubles ranking is entirely in the hands of Virginia Ruano Pascual and Paola Suarez

August 7 — Los Angeles 3R: Svetlana Kuznetsova def. Silvia Farina Elia (11) 6–7(4–7) 6–4 7–5Despite having title points from Helsinki to defend, Kuznetsova won’t fall below #26.

August 8 — Los Angeles QF DOUBLES: Pierce/Stubbs (WC)def. Ruano Pascual/Suarez (1) 3–6 7–6(7–4) 6–3

And so Virginia Ruano Pascual and Paola Suarez lose their chance at the #1 ranking — probably definitively and finally, given what they have to defend. Ai Sugiyama regains the top spot, and will probably keep it well into 2004.

August 9 — Los Angeles SF: Kim Clijsters (1) def. Francesca Schiavone (16) 7–5 6–4And so Clijsters gets another chance at the #1 ranking.

August 10 — Los Angeles F: Kim Clijsters (1) def. Lindsay Davenport (1) 6–1 3–6 6–1Clijsters finally nabs the #1 ranking — though she tried to blow it in the second set.

August 11 — Canadian Open 1R: Virginia Ruano Pascual def. Laura Granville 6–3 6–3There goes Granville’s chance (barring withdrawals) of a U. S. Open seed.


August 12 — Canadian Open 1R: Paola Suarez def. Svetlana Kuznetsova (16) 6–4 7–6(7–1)The moral seems to be, even kids get tired. Kuznetsova won’t make the Top 25 just yet.

August 13 — Canadian Open 2R DOUBLES: Dokic/Morariu def. Ruano Pascual/Suarez (1) 6–3 6–4Morariu wins her second doubles match of the year. But the key point is — what’s with Ruano Pascual and Suarez? Not only have they lost the top rankings, they’ve collapsed since Wimbledon.

August 14 — Canadian Open 3R: Lina Krasnoroutskaya def. Kim Clijsters (1) 1–6 6–4 6-1Even on a mad day which saw Jelena Dokic fall out of the Top 20 and Daniela Hantuchova get bagelled by Paola Suarez to fall to #10, this result takes the cake. It’s the first time this year Clijsters has lost before the semifinal. Of course, playing 16 matches in 22 days will do that to you.

August 15 — Canadian Open QF: Elena Dementieva (9) def. Amélie Mauresmo (3) 3–6 6–4 6–2Not a good sign for Mauresmo’s chances of defending her U. S. Open semifinal

August 16 — Canadian Open SF: Lina Krasnoroutskaya def. Paola Suarez 6–4 4–6 7–5Whatever has gotten into Krasnoroutskaya, it’s gotten her all the way into the Top 30.

August 17 — Canadian Open F: Justine Hénin-Hardenne (2) def. Lina Krasnoroutskaya 6–1 6–0Hénin-Hardenne could actually threaten the #1 ranking at the U. S. Open....

August 18 — New Haven 1R: Myriam Casanova (Q) def. Laura Granville 6–1 6–1And so Granville finds herself on the verge of falling out of the Top 50.

August 19 — New Haven 2R: Anna Pistolesi def. Vera Zvonareva 0–6 7–6(7–5) 6–2Pistolesi wins her twelfth straight match and puts herself back in the Top 20.

August 20 — New Haven 2R: Magui Serna def. Magdalena Maleeva (6) 7–6(7–4) 6–3Serna beats Maleeva for the second time in two weeks, breaking into the Top 30 and nearly killing Maleeva’s hopes of hitting the Top Ten this year.

August 21 — New Haven QF: Elena Dementieva def. Cara Black (Q) 6–1 6–1Dementieva is now one win away from the Top Ten

August 22 — New Haven SF: Jennifer Capriati (3) def. Amélie Mauresmo (2) 6–3 3–1, Retired/illnessIt took some unknown bug to make it happen, but Capriati finally reaches another final

August 23 — New Haven F: Jennifer Capriati (3) def. Lindsay Davenport (1) 6–2 4–0, retiredDavenport will probably have surgery after the U. S. Open — but it still gives Capriati her first title in a year and a half.

August 25 — U. S. Open 1R: Maria Vento-Kabchi def. Chanda Rubin (8) 6–4 6–4U. S. Open 1R: Maria Elena Camerin def. Daja Bedanova 6–4 6–0

An injured and rusty Rubin becomes the first major Open casualty, and Bedanova’s slump finally drops her out of the Top 100

August 26 — U. S. Open 1R: Ludmila Cervanova def. Elena Bovina (16) 4–6 7–6(7–3) 6–4Bovina, who earned over 300 points at the Open last year, is likely bound out of the Top 30

August 27 — U. S. Open 2R: Alicia Molik def. Conchita Martinez (12) 7–5 6–4Molik will hit the Top 40 for the first time.

August 28 — U. S. Open 2R: Mary Pierce def. Jelena Dokic (22) 6–2 6–7(5–7) 7–6(7–5)It looks like Pierce really is becoming a force on the Tour again.

August 29 — U. S. Open 3R: Tamarine Tanasugarn def. Daniela Hantuchova (9) 6–2 6–4Another rather sorry showing by Hantuchova will finally cause her to fall out of the Top Ten.

August 30 — U. S. Open 2R DOUBLES: Kuznetsova/Navratilova (4) def.Raymond/Sharapova (WC) 6–2 6–2

This day saw no upsets on the women’s side; indeed, so many had been the earlier upsets that not one seeded singles player faced a seed in the third round. This is perhaps the most interesting match simply because it showed that Maria Sharapova still has some hype to live up to.

August 31 — U. S. Open 4R: Paola Suarez (24) def. Elena Likhovtseva 6–2 3–6 7–5U. S. Open 3R DOUBLES: Bovina/Stubbs (5) def. Petrova/Pierce (10) 6–1 7–6(7-3)

Suarez hits the singles Top Twenty as Petrova falls out of the doubles Top Ten.


September 1 — U. S. Open 4R: Jennifer Capriati (6) def. Elena Dementieva (11) 6–2 7–5Due to rain, only two matches were completed, neither particularly thrilling. This one was bigger because it drops Venus Williams to (no better than) #6.

September 4 — U. S. Open 4R: Francesca Schiavone (29) def. Ai Sugiyama (15) 6–7(5–7) 7–5 6–2U. S. Open 2R DOUBLES: McShea/Musgrave def. Clijsters/Sugiyama (1) walkoverThat singles match took four days to complete, and Sugiyama seemed to lose something with each delay, including all six games in the final resumption; the loss means she won’t make the Top Ten. The withdrawal from doubles doesn’t matter to her ranking; she’ll still be #1. But she and Clijsters end their Slam winning streak at 13; no non-calendar Slam for them.

September 5 — U. S. Open SF: Justine Hénin-Hardenne (2)def. Jennifer Capriati (6) 4–6 7–5 7–6(7–4)

And so this year’s four Slams have featured two Williams/Williams finals and two all-Belgian finals (in the other semifinal, Kim Clijsters beat Lindsay Davenport easily). Hénin-Hardenne won’t have much left for the final, though, after a match generally called the year’s best.; Capriati was two points from the final eleven times.

September 6 — U. S. Open F: Justine Hénin-Hardenne (2) def. Kim Clijsters (1) 7–5 6–1It was just plain ugly; Clijsters once again wasn’t up to the task, and so Hénin-Hardenne — despite a three hour match the night before, despite needing IV fluids that night, despite not enough sleep — wins her second Slam of 2003

September 7 — U. S. Open F DOUBLES: Ruano Pascual/Suarez (2)def. Kuznetsova/Navratilova (4) 6–2 6–3

It was short and not very pretty, but it ends a year-long Slam drought for Ruano Pascual and SuarezSeptember 8 — Bali Qualifying F DOUBLES: Yayuk Basuki/Diana Julianto (WC) def.

Ivana Abramovic/Seiko Okamoto (1) 1–6 6–4 6–3It doesn’t mean anything, but it’s interesting to see Basuki again, isn’t it? (Though Basuki/Julianto would lose badly the next day against no one in particular.)

September 9 — Bali 1R: Tathiana Garbin def. Jelena Dokic (4) 7–5 6–3So much for the idea that Dokic was getting things together.

September 10 — Bali 2R: Chanda Rubin (1) def. Maria Sanchez Lorenzo 6–2 6–2A very dull day sees Chanda Rubin get back in form after several rather bad weeks.

September 11 — Bali 2R: Maria Vento-Kabchi def. Conchita Martinez (3) 6–1 6–3At the rate she’s going, Vento-Kabchi will be back in the Top Fifty by year-end. (Later footnote: Believe it; she ended 2003 ranked #44, having started they year at #172.)

September 12 — Bali QF: Saori Obata def. Angelique Widjaja 4–6 7–5 6–1Let’s hope this isn’t another choker developing: Widjaja served for the match at 5–4 in the second.

September 13 — Bali F DOUBLES: Vento-Kabchi/Widjaja (1) def. Loit/Pratt (2) 7–5 6–2It was a dull day in singles, with the top two seeds in the final — but one of the losing semifinalists was Vento-Kabchi, and she made up for it with her third career doubles title (it’s #2 for Widjaja)

September 14 — Bali F: Elena Dementieva (2) def. Chanda Rubin (1) 6–2 6–1Dementieva finally wins a title without facing Lindsay Davenport. She also moves up to #8.

September 15 — Shanghai 1R: Ashley Harkleroad def. Cara Black (8) 6–1 6–4It wasn’t even an upset, actually; Harkleroad came in ranked #51 and Black #56. But it’s probably the match everyone watched on a day when nothing whatsoever happened....

September 16 — Shanghai 1R DOUBLES: J. Lee/Morariu def. Mandula/Schett (3) 7–6(7–4) 6–7(8–10) 6–3

It’s not much of an upset, the way Schett has been playing lately, but it’s nice to see Morariu win.September 17 — Shanghai 2R: Dinara Safina def. Jelena Dokic (5) 6–1 6–4

And so Dokic finally falls out of the Top 25.


September 18 — Shanghai 2R: Maria Sharapova def. Maria Sanchez Lorenzo 4–6 6–3 6–4Sharapova hits the Top 50 for the first time.

September 19 — Shanghai QF: Ai Sugiyama (3) def. Dinara Safina 6–4 7–6(9–7)One more win and Sugiyama is Top Ten. (But she wouldn’t get it; she lost to Elena Dementieva in three sets in the semifinal)

September 20 — Shanghai SF DOUBLES: Loit/Pratt def. Gagliardi/Rubin (4) 3–6 6–4 6–3For the second straight week, Loit/Pratt are in a final (which they would go on to win). What does this say about the future of Déchy/Loit?

September 21 — Shanghai F: Elena Dementieva (1) def. Chanda Rubin (2) 6–3 7–6(8–6)Dementieva is up to eight straight wins — the longest streak of her career.

September 22 — Leipzig 1R: Daniela Hantuchova (5) def. Svetlana Kuznetsova 7–5 6–2Hantuchova finally posts a good win — and Kuznetsova falls out of the Top 30.

September 23 — Leipzig 1R: Els Callens (Q) def. Meghann Shaughnessy (7) 7–6(7–4) 7–6(7–4)Callens puts herself firmly back in the Top 100, but Shaughnessy will fall to #19 or lower.

September 24 — Leipzig 2R: Sandra Kleinova (Q) def. Magdalena Maleeva (4) 6–4 6–4Maleeva still may make the Top Ten this week — but her odds of staying there don’t look good.

September 25 — Leipzig 2R: Els Callens (Q) def. Alexandra Stevenson 6–4 4–6 6–2Callens had watched her ranking fall all the way to #103. This will help a lot.

September 26 — Leipzig QF: AnastasiaMyskina (3) def. Nadia Petrova (6) 6–7(5–7) 6–1 6–1In a match where nerves were probably the real winner, Petrova blows her chance to make the Top 10.

September 27 — Leipzig SF: Anastasia Myskina (3) def. Kim Clijsters (1) 5–7 4–4, retiredHelped immensely by Kim Clijsters and her “I Can Slide on Concrete” attitude, Myskina saves her Top 10 ranking.

September 28 — Leipzig F: Anastasia Myskina (3) def. Justine Hénin-Hardenne (2) 3–6 6–3 6–3Myskina probably shouldn’t have been here, but she definitely took advantage.

September 29 — Moscow 1R: Vera Zvonareva (7) def. Amanda Coetzer 4–6 6–1 6–2Zvonareva may hit a career high, and she certainly knocks Coetzer out of the Top 20.

September 30 — Moscow 1R: Dinara Safina (WC) def. Magdalena Maleeva (5) 6–4 3–6 7–5Safina scores the best win of her career and drops Maleeva to no better than #20.

October 1 — Moscow 2R: Elena Bovina def. Jennifer Capriati (1/WC) 4–6 6–4 7–6(7–3)Almost makes you wonder why Capriati came....

October 2 — Japan Open QF: Arantxa Parra def. Jill Craybas 3–6 6–4 6–2It was a wild day in Tokyo, where only one seed (#5 Maria Sharapova) is still in the draw; #1 Ai Sugiyama was injured and #2 Tamarine Tanasugarn fell to #122 Jie Zheng. But this is probably the toughest loss; Craybas was defending champion and will end up just barely above #100.

October 3 — Moscow SF DOUBLES: Myskina/Zvonareva (WC) def.Kuznetsova/Navratilova (1) 6–7(8–10) 6–2 6–4

This ends a six-match winning streak for the top seeds.October 4 — Moscow SF: Amélie Mauresmo (2) def. Elena Dementieva (3) 6–4 6–1

Had Dementieva won this, she would have been #6 in the world. As it is, her ten-match winning streak ends and she has to settle for #8 while Mauresmo is in the final trying to knock Venus Williams out of the #6 spot.

October 5 — Moscow F: Anastasia Myskina (4) def. Amélie Mauresmo (2) 6–2 6–4Myskina earns back-to-back titles and picks up her first-ever Tier I win.

October 6 — Filderstadt Qualifying Final: Myriam Casanova def. Eleni Daniilidou (5) 6–3 4–6 6–4Casanova, who has almost 160 points to defend, saves enough to ensure her Top 100 ranking.

October 7 — Filderstadt 1R: Daniela Hantuchova def. Lisa Raymond (Q) 6–3 6–4Hantuchova, with 200 points to defend, keeps her hopes of staying in the Top 15 alive.


October 8 — Filderstadt 1R: Anastasia Myskina (8) def. Alexandra Stevenson 0–6 6–1 4–0, RetiredMyskina wins her ninth straight match, despite admitted exhaustion, when Stevenson’s back acts up; Stevenson will fall from #30 to barely above #40.

October 9 — Filderstadt 2R: Kim Clijsters (1) def. Daniela Hantuchova 6–1 6–1Last year’s finalist Hantuchova will stay Top 15, barely, but very possibly for only one more week.

October 10 — Filderstadt QF: Elena Bovina def. Lindsay Davenport (3) 6–3 6–2Davenort evidently still isn’t right (she finally gave in and had her foot surgery five days later) — and Bovina is close to a return to the Top 25.

October 11 — Filderstadt SF: Justine Hénin-Hardenne (2) def. Elena Bovina 6–2 6–4Filderstadt SF: Kim Clijsters (1) def. Mary Pierce (WC) 7–6(7–2) 6-0

And so Clijsters and Hénin-Hardenne meet once again, with the winner to be #1. Be glad you aren’t the Clijsters psychotherapist....

October 12 — Filderstadt F: Kim Clijsters (1) def. Justine Hénin-Hardenne (2) 5–7 6–4 6–2And so Clijsters does retain the #1 spot — at least for now.

October 13 — Zurich 1R: Amy Frazier (Q) def. Conchita Martinez 4–6 6–4 6–1Frazier, it seems, has one last comeback in her; she drops Martinez out of the Top 15.

October 14 — Zurich 1R: Paola Suarez def. (8) Daniela Hantuchova 7–6(7–2) 7–5Suarez once again works her mastery on a hard-hitting slow player. She’ll hit the Top 15 as a result; Hantuchova will fall to #16, her worst ranking this year.

October 15 — Zurich 2R: Jelena Dokic def. Alexandra Stevenson 4–6 7–5 6–1And so Stevenson falls out of the Top 40; she may fall below #50 next week.

October 16 — Zurich 2R: Patty Schnyder def. Amélie Mauresmo (3) 6–2 6–2Not only was Schnyder very impressive, but she guarantees that she will stay Top 30. And that Mauresmo, once again, will fail to pass Venus Williams to grab the #6 ranking.

October 17 — Zurich QF: Jelena Dokic def. Patty Schnyder 6-0 6–3Dokic puts herself back in the Top 20 as Schnyder falls below #25. Dokic also scores her first bagel over a year. Bigger news, though, came off-court, as Justine Hénin-Hardenne withdrew from Linz, meaning that even if she wins Zurich and gains the #1 ranking, she will lose it a week later. In addition, Lisa Raymond and Rennae Stubbs lost the first match of their reunion, losing in three to Molik/Serna.

October 18 — Zurich SF: Jelena Dokic def. Kim Clijsters (1) 1–6 6–3 6–4Dokic loudly announced her return by reaching her first final of the year, putting herself in the Top 15 — and giving Justine Hénin-Hardenne an opportunity to take the #1 ranking against someone other than Clijsters.

October 19 — Zurich F: Justine Hénin-Hardenne (2) def. Jelena Dokic 6-0 6–4Finally, after some months of waiting, Hénin-Hardenne grabs the #1 ranking — though she will lose it next week.

October 20 — Luxembourg 1R: Milagros Sequera def. Katarina Srebotnik (6) 7–5 6–3Srebotnik last week rose to #32. This may cause her to fall below #40.

October 21 — Linz 1R: Jelena Dokic def. Daniela Hantuchova (5) 6-4 6–1It won’t affect the rankings much, but it’s pretty clear who is and isn’t out of her slump.

October 22 — Linz 1R: Tina Pisnik def. Alexandra Stevenson 6–2 6–3And so Stevenson falls probably below #80, and with the fastcourt season nearly over....

October 23 — Linz 2R: Ai Sugiyama (2) def. Tina Pisnik 6-3 7–5This may have been the dullest day in the history of women’s tennis: Seven seeds up, seven seeds through; I hardly had to update the Abstract. This match at least keeps Sugiyama’s Championships hopes alive and drops Pisnik out of the Top 30 spot she held for one week.

October 24 — Linz QF: Patty Schnyder (8) def. Anastasia Myskina (1) 6–1 6–1Schnyder returns to the Top 25 and keeps Myskina from quite clinching for the Championships


October 25 — Linz SF: Ai Sugiyama (2) def. Vera Zvonareva (3) 6-3 3–6 6–4Linz SF: Nadia Petrova (4) def. Patty Schnyder (8) 6–2 6-2

The Race remains hot, with Sugiyama having the chance to pass Chanda Rubin if she wins this final (and Rubin loses). Petrova, meanwhile, has a chance at a title, and passes Zvonareva in the Race.

October 26 — Linz F: Ai Sugiyama (2) def. Nadia Petrova (4) 7–5 6–4Sugiyama wins her second title of the year, and takes a slight lead in the race for the final Championships spot.

Ocrober 27 — Philadelphia 1R DOUBLES: Navratilova/Raymond (1) def. Bachman/Kloesel 6–3 6–2No surprise, but it’s our first look at what may be next year’s U. S. Olympic team

October 28 — Philadelphia 1R: Lisa Raymond def. Vera Zvonareva (6) 6–2 2–6 6–2And so Zvonareva’s (already very faint) hopes of making the Championships end.

October 29 — Philadelphia 2R: Chanda Rubin (4) def. Alexandra Stevenson 6–2 6–4Rubin raises the Championships stakes; this moves her back ahead of Ai Sugiyama, who hasn’t yet played her opening match. Stevenson, who is suffering from pneumonia, ends the year below #80.

October 30 — Philadelphia 2R: Ai Sugiyama (5) def. Tathiana Garbin 6-4 6–7(3-7) 6-3Now Sugiyama is ahead of Rubin in the Race again. All will be settled Friday.

October 31 — Philadelphia QF: Nadia Petrova (7) def. Chanda Rubin (2) 7-6(7-5) 7–5Petrova drops Rubin out of the year-end Championships; barring further withdrawals, the list will be Hénin-Hardenne, Clijsters, Capriati, Mauresmo, Dementiava, Myskina, Venus Williams, Sugiyama. (Of course, Venus Williams did withdraw, letting Rubinin.)

November 1 — Philadelphia SF: Amélie Mauresmo (2) def. Ai Sugiyama (5) 3-6 7–6(8–6) 7-5Sugiyama had a 5–1 lead in the second, but lost it, and her six match winning streak, and her shot at the Top Ten. She’ll have another chance in Los Angeles, though.

November 2 — Philadelphia F: Amélie Mauresmo (2) def. Anastasia Myskina (3) 5-7 6–0 6–2Mauresmo moves up to #6 and wins her second title of the year

November 3 — Pattaya City 1R: Henrieta Nagyova def. Ludmila Cervanova (5) 6–2 7–6(7–5)An actual sign of life from Nagyova?

November 4 — Pattaya City 1R: Tamarine Tanasugarn (1) def. Ilke Gers (Q) 3–6 6–2 6–0Can Tanasugarn finally win Pattaya? This wasn’t the prettiest start.

November 5 — Los Angeles Championships RR: Kim Clijsters def. Elena Dementieva 6–2 6–2Clijsters gets off to a good start in her last stand to defend the #1 ranking.

November 6 — Los Angeles Championships RR: Kim Clijsters def. Chanda Rubin 6–4 6–4Clijsters becomes the first player to qualify for the semifinal, again keeping her #1 hopes alive.

November 7 — Los Angeles Championships RR: Justine Hénin-Hardennedef. Jennifer Capriati 6–2 6–1

Capriati looked like she didn’t even want to be there, but no matter; Hénin-Hardenne (who the day before thought herself almost too sick to play) won, earning her way to the semifinal and clinching the year-end #1 ranking.

November 8 — Los Angeles Championships RR: Ai Sugiyama def. Justine Hénin-Hardenne 6-2 6–4With the Belgian already having clinched a semifinal spot, perhaps she lost some intensity. The loss doesn’t hurt her — but it gives Sugiyama her best-ever win, and puts her in the Top Ten, with Venus Williams falling to #11.

November 9 — Pattaya City F: Henrieta Nagyova def. Lubomira Kurhajcova 6–4 6-1Nagyova breaks her three-year title drought and puts herself back in the Top 100.


November 10 — Los Angeles Championships F: Kim Clijsters def. Amélie Mauresmo 6–2 6-0It wasn’t much of a final, but Mauresmo reaches a year-end ranking of #4. Clijsters ends the year at #2, but wins her second straight Championships. Though she blew the chance to win both singles and doubles; she and Ai Sugiyama fell to Ruano Pascual and Suarez, letting the latter two earn the year-end #2 and #1 rankings for the second straight year — a rather amazing result, given their complete lack of indoor previous indoor titles.


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 Capriati, we see 2/01 — Capriati has won the Australian Open twice times, starting in 2001). 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) The players listed are the Top Ten, plus the major players of recent years — plus Hingis, because, if she comes back, I don’t want to have to redo her, and she is a good basis for comparison as the most well-rounded player since Graf.

Past Tier IIs: Clijsters — Hamburg (1/02); Davenport — Chicago (1/97), Princess Cup (1/99); Hingis — Hamburg (2/98); Mauresmo — Nice (1/01); Martinez — Barcelona (1/91), Hamburg (1/95), Houston (1/93), Stratton Mountain (2/93), Tampa (1/89); Myskina — Bahia (1/02); Pierce — Princess Cup (1/95); Seles — Bahia (1/01), Barcelona (1/92), Chicago (1/93), Essen (1/92), Houston (3/89), Milan (1/91), Princess Cup (5/91), San Antonio (1/90), Tampa (1/90); S. Williams — Hannover (1/00), Princess Cup (2/00); V. Williams — Hamburg (2/99). N.B.: Rubin won Linz 1997, Martinez Paris 1990; neither was then Tier II.

Who Won What Summary — DoublesThe equivalent of the preceding, but for doubles. It’s harder to pick these players, as there are more doubles winners out there. I finally chose to list the Top Twelve excluding Navratilova (the WTA doesn’t publish the data to do this right), meaning Black, Clijsters, Davenport, Liezel Huber, Kuznetsova, Likhovtseva, Raymond, Ruano Pascual, Stubbs, Suarez, and Sugiyama — plus Serena Williams as the other active player with the Career Slam (Venus has an exactly identical record except that she didn’t win Leipzig 2002), Anna Kournikova as a past #1 with two Slams who is still active, and Hingis and Sanchez-Vicario as the most successful players of recent years. The final lines of the table differ slightly from the singles table. The line “Events won” lists the distinct active Tier II titles each player has won. Serena, for instance, has won eight titles at these 31 events — but she has two Wimbledons and two Australian Opens, so she has only six distinct titles. The next line, “To 2000,” lists each player’s titles at these Tier II+ events in the years leading up to 2000 (inclusive), and the number after the / is her total Tier II+ titles whether the events still exist or not. We then show her total for the 2001, 2002, 2003, and the grand total.

Who Won What Part 4: 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§ Allegedly retired. We’ll see. ‡ Retired, but played three events in 2003** Probably retired, since she hasn’t been adding events lately, but no official WTA announcement

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.

Notes: Events which are no longer played are not included in this list. Davenport also won Chicago (II) in 1997; this was the last year that event was played; she also won the discontinued Princess Cup in 1999. The Atlanta event was won by Davenport in 1997; it moved to New Haven in 1998. She has won several Tier III events: Lucerne 1993, Brisbane 1994, Lucerne 1994, Strasbourg 1995, Oklahoma City 1997, Madrid 1999. Hingis won Hamburg (discontinued) twice (1998, 2000), plus two Tier III titles (’s-Hertogenbosch 2000; Doha 2001). Venus Williams Hamburg in 1999 and 2001; she also wonTier III events at Oklahoma City in 1998, 1999 and Gold Coast in 2002. Monica Seles won the Princess Cup (discontinued) in 1991, 1992, 1996, 1997, 1998; Bahia (discontinued) in 2001; 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); in 2002, she added Doha (III) and Madrid (III). Expired titles for Serena Williams are Hannover 2000 (the last year it was played) and the Princess Cup 2000, 2002 (the latter its final year on the calendar).

Career Results for Leading Players

Career Results — SinglesThe following tables summarize the performances of certain top singles 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, Venus Williams, etc. may be one or more tournaments higher.

Career Results — DoublesFor inclusion in this list, players must have at least two Slams, and must have, or project to have, at least 25 doubles titles. Other criteria are similar to those for singles. For brevity, partners are listed only by initial in the following tables — e.g. the first item for Serena Williams is Oklahoma City (III/VW). This means Serena won Oklahoma City 1998, a Tier III, with VW=Venus Williams. The list of partners follows the list of results for each player. Players with whom the player won a Slam shown in bold. Note: Martina Navratilova is excluded because I just don’t trust the early WTA data. The surface data for some of the older players may also be inaccurate.

(Note that some players, e.g. Court and King, have earlier Slams; these do not appear in the totals. Also, the Australian Open is always counted as the first Slam of the year even when it was actually the last, i.e. 1978-1985.) Multiple Slam winners shown in Bold

Singles and Doubles at the Same Slam (Open Era)It’s tough enough to win one part of a Slam. Winning singles and doubles is that much harder. The following list shows, year by year, the players who have won both. The first name in each column is, of course, the player who won both; the second name is her doubles partner.

Most Titles, Year By YearThe following list shows the three players with the most titles, year by year, and the number of titles.

Year Player with Most Titles #2 in titles #3 in titles2003 Clijsters (9) Hénin-Hardenne (8) Myskina (4),1 Serena Williams

(4)

1. Of Myskina’s four titles, two were below the Tier II level — a rather unusual outcome for someone near the top of the titles list; most top players win most of their titles at large events — e.g. Clijsters won seven of her nine titles at Tier II or better events; Hénin-Hardenne won all eight of hers titles at Tier II or better events

2002 S. Williams (8) V. Williams (7) Clijsters (4), Smashnova (4)2

2. As noted above, most players on this list, particularly in recent years, won the majority of their titles at Tier II or higher events. Smashnova 2002 is an exception; all four of her titles were small events.

2001 Davenport (7) V. Williams (6) Mauresmo (4), Seles (4)2000 Hingis (9) V. Williams (5) Davenport (4)1999 Davenport (7), Hingis (7) V. Williams (6) S. Williams (4)1998 Davenport (6) Hingis (5), Schnyder(5)3

Career Surface Sweeps/SinglesThe list below shows all players active in 2002 or after to have won titles on all four surfaces, showing the strongest title on each surface and the year in which she achieved the sweep (i.e. earned her first title on her “last” surface) If a title is marked “etc.” (e.g. Seles is marked “Roland Garros 1990, etc.), this means that she won it several times starting with that year.) The “best” tournament is based on tournament tier. Slam titles are abbreviated.

Career Grand Surface SweepThe Grand Surface Sweep is a higher-order version of the Surface Sweep: It entails a title, Tier I or higher, on all seven major WTA surfaces: Rebound Ace, DecoTurf, Red Clay, Green Clay, Grass, Carpet (including Greenset and Supreme) and Indoor Hardcourts.

The WTA established the Tier I event in 1990 (though there were approximate equivalents for about a decade before that). In that period, the events of each type, by surface, were as follows:Rebound Ace: Australian OpenDecoTurf: U. S. Open, Miami, Canadian Open, Boca Raton 1991–1992, Indian Wells 1997-presentRed Clay: Roland Garros, Rome, BerlinGreen Clay: Hilton Head/CharlestonGrass: WimbledonCarpet: WTA Championships 1990-2000, Chicago 1990, Pan Pacific 1993-present, Philadelphia 1993-

1995, Moscow 1997-presentIndoor Hard: WTA Championships 2001-present, Zurich 1993-present

From this data, we can compile the (very short) list of Grand Surface Sweepers (this is all-time, since the Australian Open shifted to Rebound Ace; note that the list includes some events from the Slams and “Super Series” before 1990, though those “excess events” include only events which are still active):

1. Steffi GrafRebound Ace: Australian Open [1988], [1989], 1990, 1994DecoTurf: U. S. Open [1988], [1989], 1993, 1995, 1996; Miami [1987], [1988], 1994, 1995, 1996; Canadian Open 1990, 1993;

Boca Raton 1992Red Clay: Roland Garros [1987], [1988], 1993, 1995, 1996, 1999; Rome, Berlin [1988], [1989], 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996Green Clay: Hilton Head [1986], [1987], [1989], 1993; [Amelia Island 1986, 1987]Grass: Wimbledon [1988], [1989], 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996Carpet: WTA Championships [1987], [1989], 1993, 1995, 1996; Pan Pacific [1986], 1994; Philadelphia 1995; Moscow 1997-

presentIndoor Hard: [Washington 1989]

2. Martina HingisRebound Ace: Australian Open 1997, 1998, 1999DecoTurf: U. S. Open 1997; Miami 1997, 2000; Canadian Open 1999, 2000; Indian Wells 1998Red Clay: Rome 1998, Berlin 1999Green Clay: Hilton Head 1997, 1999Grass: Wimbledon 1997Carpet: WTA Championships 1998, 2000; Pan Pacific 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002; Moscow 2000Indoor Hard: Zurich 2000

Lacking Rebound Ace and, apparently, Indoor Hard was Martina Navratilova. (This is largely lack of opportunity.)

Of the top active players, Serena Williams lacks green clay and carpet; Venus Williams lacks Rebound Ace, green clay, and carpet; Lindsay Davenport lacks green and red clay; Monica Seles lacks grass and indoor hardcourt.

Note that Graf was the only player ever to complete the calendar year Grand Surface Sweep (1989).

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.

I Came, I Played....The following is a complete list of every player to play a WTA Main Draw match in 2002. All told, 287 players had at least one match of main draw experience (compared to 301 last year, the decline probably being due to the reduced number of tournaments).

Comings and Goings: On and Off the RankingsThe following lists compare the ranking tables for 2002 and 2003, 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. Smashnova became Smashnova-Pistolsei. 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 — but 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. This year ended a long trend toward more and more ranked players; because fewer points are awarded at the lowest level of Challengers. At the end of 2003, there were only 1113 ranked players — the lowest total since 1999, when there were 1079 ranked players. In 2000 there were 1242, an increase of 15% over the year before. 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 2002, shows the players in alphabetical order with their 2002 year-end rankings shown in parenthesis. The second list, of players ranked only in 2003, is similar: An alphabetical list, with 2003 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 2003 final ranking, the net change in her ranking from 2002 to 2003, and the percent change. As an example of what we mean, take the first player on the list That’s Ivana Abramovic, and her entry reads

Ivana Abramovic (148, 204, 58%)This means that Abramovic’s year-end 2003 ranking was #148. What’s more, she improved her ranking 204 spots from the end of 2002 to the end of 2003 (she had ended 2002 ranked #352). 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. Abramovic cut her ranking by 58% — a nice healthy upward movement. 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 2003 were: Nadia Petrova, 89%; Lina Krasnoroutskaya, 85%; Maria Sharapova, 83%; and Justine Hénin-Hardenne, 80%; no others better than 80%.

The biggest percentage hits were suffered by Anne Kremer, -1456% (!); Anna Kournikova, (-771%; Monica Seles, -757%; Brie Rippner, -488%; Venus Williams, -450%; Tatiana Panova, -417%; and Alexandra Fusai, -413%; no one else went up more than 400%. Most of these losses, of course, were induced by injury.
