Top 10 [Tennis] Rankings Corrections and how the 2024 Wimbledon Championships tightened the Top 5 Players on both the WTA and ATP tours

Over the past near 21 days the unfolding of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships has taken place from the lead up to the aftermath and with equally polarising results and yet still those players that are compounded by the data and how the past season has continued to unfold has been cause for a much needed realignment. A cautionary tale here is in respect to being mindful of the past season — 12 months until now, as if we only consider the current season and how the results have unfolded, then there’s a significant gap between the anticipated and what has more recently unfolded.

The beginning of the Championships noted the respective seedings take place on the Women’s and Men’s sides of the draw, as is typical, but what’s interesting here is in fact how the pending reshuffle of the rankings on both the WTA and ATP tours has been widely discussed on Beyond Top 10 Tennis this season with 50% of current Top 10 players not correlating with their ranking…

Australian Open Day 5: Insights on Stephens v Kasatkina

It is Day 5 of the Australian Open and this match has to be one of my favourites due to both players being previously ranked inside the Top 10 and meeting in the 2nd Round of what very well could have been a quarter-final match a few seasons prior. Whilst Stephens has regressed outside the Top 10 she is still a contender on any day of the week considering her US Open triumph came at a time when she was coming back from injury and not considered a serious contender for the Championship title. If there was anything to learn from that time it was that Stephens is at the ready no matter her ranking range. As for Kasatkina, she has briefly held a place inside the Top 10 tennis rankings in the past seasons and has steadily maintained her place inside the Top 20 since this brief stint.

Irrespective of Kasatkina’s time inside the Top 10 being relatively short lived – recall that 2% of players every season regress due to losing their hold on the 7 Keys. Needless to say, as Kasatkina currently hovers outside the Top 10, she has the potential to become a barrier breaker this season in particular, if she is able to further progress more consistently at the Grand Slam level this season…
