IntroductionI’m not going to give you a big introduction this year. Between a shorter-than-usual off season and a call for jury duty in December, I had to put this Statistical Abstract together in rather a rush. This meant, first, increasing my reliance on data extracted from my database and not cross-checked, and second, less time spent looking for peculiarities in the final product.

Still, the general purpose should be served. This is an attempt to fill in the details that the WTA’s handful of statistics about players do not supply. These are not player biographies; the WTA supplies those. They aren’t complete results for all players; the ITF is the source for those. The Statistical Abstract is, instead, an attempt to demonstrate, via numbers, the real nature of some players’ results. Plus there is a certain amount of history, to try to put it all in perspective.

In one sense, there was less need of the Abstract this year than in some years. When the contest for year-end #1 was close, the Abstract sometimes gave different perspectives on the matter (there was one year when three different players were #1 in some statistical models). That doesn’t come up this year; there is no doubt about who was #1 in 2007. It was Justine Hénin by a landslide — indeed, she had a year for the ages; her winning percentage (94%) was the best since Steffi Graf’s miracle years in the late Nineties; the only season since then that has been comparable is Martina Hingis’s 1997. But the #2? The WTA says it’s Svetlana Kuznetsova. The statistics pretty consistently say it’s someone else — though they don’t agree on the Someone Else. Adding up every statistic, I think the best candidate is probably Ana Ivanovic; she has the best combined score in the most important statistics. But it’s certainly a point that could be debated.

Readers of past Statistical Abstracts may note that the Alternate Rankings section has been somewhat modified. This was conditioned by a change in the WTA rankings — a very silly one. They arbitrarily cranked up the points for most events by roughly a third (e.g. a Slam title, which was worth 700 points in 2006, increased to 1000 points in 2007). This was fundamentally silly — since they increased everything by the same ratio, they were just puffing up everyone’s point totals (as if having 5000 inflated points make a player better than having 3500 uninflated points!). It also caused problems through the year, because new events were worth more than the old events they replaced. But, at the end of the year, most of that washed out as far as the Tour was concerned: Everybody had nice shiny new-style inflated points, and who cares what the “exchange rate” is. It made a problem for me, though: The Alternate Rankings were built around a certain set of ratios of round and quality points. The inflation of round points upset that ratio. So the alternate rankings have been retooled to get back to the same approximate ratio of points.

A point on nomenclature: Hénin has now changed her name twice (Hénin to Hénin-Hardenne back to Hénin). Other players, like Anna Smasnova/Pistolesi/Smashnova-Pistolesi/Smashnova-again, have done the same thing. I have adopted the policy of calling a player what she was called at the time of her results (e.g. Hénin is listed as “Hénin” on titles she won in 2007 but “Hénin-Hardenne” for results in 2006), but I try to index mentions under current names (Hénin, Smashnova, etc.).

Incidentally, about the index: I make no attempt to index every time a player’s name occurs in this book (or else you’d find several hundred index entries for every top player). This strikes me as making the index less useful, not more so. I index cases where a player is mentioned for a significant reason (e.g. being near the top or the bottom of some particular ranking list. The idea is to let you find out what is most noteworthy about that player.

You may distribute this document freely. Print it, give someone a copy, cite it in any way you wish. There are only two restrictions: I ask that you not modify it (if you want to add your own statistics, do so and cite this work rather than changing this original), and you may not charge for copies of it (beyond nominal costs of duplication). In return, I ask that you remember that I’m giving this away at no charge, so please forgive any errors — which are certainly mine, since I did the whole thing!

2007 In Review: The Top PlayersThe Final Top ThirtyBecause we can’t cover every tennis pro, we have to devote our attention to relatively few. For obvious reasons, the WTA’s Top 30 are the most important of those few. The list below summarizes those players.

In addition to listing the players, this table shows a few things about them. “Best 17 score” and “Number of Tournaments” are from the WTA, used to calculate their rankings. “Point gap from the preceding” shows how many points a player would need to earn to overtake the player above her. So Srebotnik, a mere one point behind #26 Radwanska, is a very strong #27, but Kuznetsova, 2430 points behind #1 Hénin, is a very weak #2. “Began year at” is the player’s ranking twelve months earlier. The final column shows how much each player’s ranking has changed in the interim. Note that a negative number in that column indicates an upward move; smaller numbers are better. We had some pretty amazing moves this year: Szavay, up 187 ranking spots, and Serena Williams, up 88. It probably goes without saying that such moves are exceptionally large.!

Top Players Analysed

All the Players in the Top Ten in 2007:The Complete Top Ten Based on WTA (Best 17) Statistics

The lists below show all players who have ranked in the Top 10 in 2007, with the highest rank achieved. A total of eighteen players — an unusually high number. Only fourteen players spent time in the Top Ten in 2006 (though that in turn was an unusually low number); there were sixteen players spent time in the Top Ten in 2005 and 2004, and fifteen in 2003. The recent low was twelve in 2002.

The following list shows all the players who have occupied a given position in the Top 10: 1. Hénin, Sharapova2. Hénin, Kuznetsova, Sharapova3. Jankovic, Kuznetsova, Mauresmo4.

Short Summary: The Top EightyThe following table shows the entire WTA Top Eighty, with brief summary of results. In the table, Final Rank is a player’s year-end ranking (based on the November 12, 2007 rankings), Player is of course the player, Score is her Best 17 point total, # of Trn is the number of tournaments she is listed as playing (including Challengers), Best Rank is her highest ranking during the year 2007, Won/Lost is won/lost record (in the notes to this field, Wi=Withdrawal, WO=walkover. So Jankovic, for instance, won 72 matches, lost 25, received one walkover, and withdrew once). Note that this figure includes only WTA main draws. Many players will have losses in wins and losses in qualifying and/or 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 Jankovic’s line, e.g.., reads Auck[land], Charl[eston], Rome, Birm[ingham] (4). This means Jankovic won four titles — the four listed. Titles at $50K and higher Challengers are also shown (in [green smaller type] to distinguish them from regular titles). Challengers from after the end of the 2006 season are included. Challengers do not count toward a player’s calculated total titles.

Full Summary of Tournament ResultsThe following list shows all tournaments since the end of the 2006 Tour year (November 13, 2006). This includes not only Tour events but also $50K and higher challengers. The tournament summary includes several statistics about the Tournament. First is the date and the name. Also on the first line of the entry are the tournament’s strength (Slam, Championships, Tier I, Tier II, $75K Challenger, etc., and the surface on which it is played.

The second line, “Modified TSI” and “Top Four Strength,” give statistics about the strength of the event. The Modified TSI is my modification of Geert Calliauw’s Tournament Strength Index, (for details of this, see the section “Tournament Strength Based on Modified TSI” on page 35); in this statistic, the higher the number, the stronger the event; the maximum is 475. The next statistic, Top Four Strength, is also a strength measure(explained in the section“It’s probably not surprising to note that almost the only tournaments to have the maximum strength of 13 are required events:Roland Garros, Wimbledon, the U. S. Open, and the Madrid Championships, plus Zürich, with the Australian Open and Miami right behind. We note that Stuttgart, which was weak in its first year, has now gained the strength it always had while held in Filderstadt.” on page 33); it is based on the rankings of the top four players in the field. For this statistic, lower is better; a tournament with a strength of 13 is at maximum strength under this measure.

The third line of any entry, “Top players,” lists the four top players in the field, with their ranking and the round in which they lost. Note that this is not the top four seeds; it the four highest-ranked players whatever their seeding.

The fourth and fifth lines list the winner, finalist, and semifinalists, with their rankings. The final line lists the doubles winner and finalists.

Title DefencesTitle defences seem to have been declining in recent years. In 2003, we had no fewer than twelve title defences. There were nine in 2004, six in 2005 (two by Mauresmo, and one each by Davenport, Medina Garrigues, Medina Garrigues, and Zvonareva), and six again in 2006 (by five different players; only Kim Clijsters managed to defend twice). This year, we again had six defences — but the astonishing thing is, four of them were by Justine Hénin. Take her out, and title defences have almost ceased to exist..Tournament DefenderAntwerp MauresmoDubai HéninRoland Garros HéninEastbourne HéninSan Diego SharapovaMadrid Championships Hénin


Tournament StrengthsTournament Strength Based on Top Four PlayersThere is, unfortunately for statisticians and players alike, no accepted and universal measure for determining tournament strength. It’s unfortunate for players because they don’t get rewarded based on their actual accomplishments. It’s unfortunate for statisticians because it makes it hard to correlate tournament strength with anything else.

We will take a couple of stabs at it, though. We have two methods, both of which are used in the table of tournament results above. The first is the “Top Four Strength,” or, to be more explicit, the “Tournament Strength Based on Top Four Players.” This is quite simple: We simply take the (WTA) rankings of the top four players (the top four based on actual rankings, not seeding, we note). We then add them up, counting the top two players twice. So the Australian Open, which featured the world’s #2, #3, #4, and #5 players, had a strength of 2+2+3+3+4+5, or 19. Sydney, which featured the #3, #4, #5, and #6, had a strength of 3+3+4+4+5+6, or 25. The strongest possible tournament, in this ranking, is one with a strength of 13. There is no absolute maximum score,, since theoretically a $10K event could have no ranked players at all, but in practice the maximum for a Tour event is around 300 and the maximum for a $50K or higher Challenger really ought to be in the 1000 range; a stronger Challenger will be above 500.\

It’s probably not surprising to note that almost the only tournaments to have the maximum strength of 13 are required events:Roland Garros, Wimbledon, the U. S. Open, and the Madrid Championships, plus Zürich, with the Australian Open and Miami right behind. We note that Stuttgart, which was weak in its first year, has now gained the strength it always had while held in Filderstadt.

Tournament Strength Based on Modified TSIThe second method of assessing strength, the Modified TSI, is better for ranking the top events, but is

not intended to measure low-tier events. The original TSI (Tournament Strength Index) was proposed by Geert Calliauw. His 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. The strongest possible tournament has a modified TSI of 475, so we can express this as a percentage: A tournament with a Modified TSI of 475 will be at 100% of full strength, one with a modified TSI of 427 would be at 90% strength, etc. The tables on the next two pages list the tournaments in order based on their strength. The first list, “Tournament strength based on Top Four Players,” includes all WTA events plus as many Challengers as fit (Note: I have calculated Top Four rankings for all $50K and higher events, but generally not $25K or lower events; it is unlikely, though, that any of the $25K events are stronger than the events listed here, with the exception of the Surbiton $25K event, which is listed). The second table, “Tournament Strength based on Modified TSI, includes primarily WTA events, since only one of the Challengers this year had a Top 25 player (Alona Bondarenko played the Kharkov $100K event).

The greater ability of the Modified TSI ranking to distinguish strong events is shown at the top of its list: Once again the maximum score of 475 is achieved only by required events (Roland Garros, Wimbledon, U.S. Open, Madrid), but now Stuttgart is #5, with the other two required event and Zürich close behind. Still, despite the minor differences, we generally find that the same events show up near the top in both lists.

There is one interesting curiosity this year: The gap between the Tier II and Tier III events has seemingly become slightly smaller. Last year, the weakest event of Tier II or higher was the Pan Pacific, and even so, it was stronger than Bali, the strongest Tier III. This year, the top 22 events are all Tier II or higher, but ’s-Hertogenbosch is #23, and stronger than fully eight Tier I/II events (Eastbourne, Luxembourg, Linz, New Haven, Charleston, Amelia Island, Beijing, Stanford). The weakest Tier II is Stanford, which is weaker than four Tier II events (’s-Hertogenbosch, Birmingham, Strasbourg, Bangkok. It is noteworthy that the two stronges Tier III events, ’s-Hertogenbosch and Birmingham, are on grass). This is probably a symptom in part of the current injury plague: A lot of events which expected strong fields had a lot of late withdrawals..

Another interesting point is about Justine Hénin’s great year: Not only did she win the most titles on the Tour, but unlike her nearest competitors, the titles weren’t weak. Hénin’s titles included five of the seven stronger event on the calendar, and six of the Top Ten. By contrast, the strongest event Jelena Jankovic won was #16, and Anna Chakvetadze’s biggest title was #23.

Tournament Strength versus Tournament PointsThe above data tell us which tournament are strongest; they do not tell us much about the relationship between tournament strength and points awarded. But we can easily examine this. The following graph compares points awarded with the Modified TSI value of the various tournaments:

It will be evident that this is anything but a linear relationship. On this graph, it’s almost a sideways parabola. If we take a correlation coefficient between points awarded and tournament strength1, it turns out to be about .82.

The next page shows a similar graph, but this time we’ll correlate points awarded against the Top Four Players statistic, incorporating many more tournaments (including a lot of Challengers which, for space reasons, I did not show in the chart of strongest tournaments).

1. The correlation coefficient is a mathematical measure of how related two data sets are. If they correlate exactly, the correlation coefficient is 1.0 (or, possibly, -1.0, if the data set is in the wrong order). If the data are unrelated, the correlation coefficient is 0. My standard way of trying to explain what values mean is as follows: In physics lab, we thumb-fingered physics students still obtained correlations of at least .97 for our experimental data; a real physicist working with proper equipment could expect to get a correlation of .999 or so. In medical experiments, say involving genetics, ratios in the range of .3 to .5 are considered meaningful. My feeling is that the WTA could make the correla-tion between tournament strength and points awarded be at least .9 — if they wanted to.

I reversed the axes this time, but it is clear that we again have a generally parabolic shape. It’s pretty clear that the WTA would get a more accurate rankings system by spreading out the points awarded. (And in fact we have an Alternate Rankings for this, “Tournament Strength-Based Rankings” on page 131.) But accurate rankings are not their primary concern.

If we take a correlation coefficient for this data, we find, astonishingly, a mere .59 correlation between tournament strength under this measure and tournament points. And if we correlate just the same 62 events we correlated under Modified TSI, that falls to .56. That’s almost frighteningly bad.

Tough Bills and Cheap ThrillsIt’s one thing to win a title. It’s altogether another to win one against strong opposition. The lists below categorizes events of 2007 based on what the winner had to do to win the title. (Note: for brevity, titles are listed only once. So a player who won a title without beating a Top Twenty player clearly also won without beating a Top Ten player.)

Player ResultsThe list below shows all the tournaments played by the Highlight Players of 2007 — those who spent at least one week in the Top Thirty. To explain the data in the table:

Each cell in the table begins by identifying the player by name. It then lists her final ranking (i.e. where she was ranked on the November 12, 2006 rankings), followed by the highest ranking she had during the 2007 season. Then comes the player’s actual results, with one line for eacy tournament she played. 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 Victoria Azarenka reads Australian Open 2007 (Slam, 3R/Jankovic [11], 2) — Bartoli (21) This means that Azarenka’s second tournament of 2007 was the Australian Open. The designation “Slam” means that it was a Grand Slam; if a Roman numeral is used, it refers to the tier of the event (Tier I, II, III, IV, sometimes with a suffix such as “+” or “req” — referring to events bigger than the “standard” Tier I/II/III/IV); 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. 3R/Jankovic means that Arvidsson reached the Round of 32 (third round), where she was beaten by Jelena Jankovic, then ranked #11. The 2 indicates that she won two matches prior to that defeat. Players she defeated included Marion Bartoli, then ranked #21. (Note: only wins over Top 35 players are listed.) If a tournament is shown in bold, it means the player won the title.

UpsetsThe 100 Biggest Upsets of 2007Want to know who pulled off the biggest upset of 2007? Easy: Lindsay Davenport, who beat Jelena Jankovic at Bali. How did I decide that that was the biggest upset? By direct mathematical means: I took rankings ratios. Davenport was #234 at the time, Jankovic #3. So Davenport’s ranking was 234:3, or 78.0 times that of Jankovic.

Of course, that’s an artifact of Davenport’s not-quite-retirement. Among players who had played the whole year, the biggest upset was #169 Yan Zi’s win over #4 Ana Ivanovic at the Canadian Open, which still featured an impressive 42.3 ratio between the two players’ rankings.

To compile this list, I took every match played by a Top 100 player this year, and took the ratio of her ranking to the player she lost to. This list shows them, in descending order based on that ratio. Note: Where a player is unranked, I have treated her ranking as #999. Observe that that affects our #6 upset, where Michelle Larcher de Brito beat Meghann Shaughnessy. That is the only instance this year of an unranked player beating a Top Hundred player.

The Ten Longest Winning Streaks by Top PlayersStreaks involving Challenger wins shown in italic. Since four players had nine-match streaks, we actually list 13 streaks — though one of those is Szavay’s, which involves only one WTA win.

The Ten Longest Losing Streaks by Top PlayersThis list actually contains 12 players, because six top players had four-match losing streaks. This makes an interesting change from last year, when 13 top players had five-match losing streaks. This year, only six top players had five-match losing streaks, and two of them (Grönefeld and Pennetta) were already in rankings trouble at the end of last year and perhaps shouldn’t even have been included in this list. So losing streaks by top players seem to have declined a lot. Probably something to do with the changes in the ranking system and how it affected the players I chose to examine.

Surface ResultsThis section examines results on different surfaces. As usual, we’ll look mostly at the top players, and examine their results on the four surfaces (clay, grass, hardcourt, indoors).

We have several sets of statistics for each surface. I have attempted, in each section, to show the top thirty players in each statistic, plus all the highlight players.

The first page in each section shows the total round points awarded on this surface — that is, the total WTA points each player earned on that surface. We note with interest, e.g., that Jelena Jankovic earned more points on clay than Justine Hénin. The next statistic “Round points per tournament,” does much to explain this: Jankovic earned more clay points — but she also played more clay events. So Hénin has the best per-tournament average on clay, with Jankovic a mere #5. Points per tournament is clearly a better measure of effectiveness on the surface.

The second pair of statistics involve quality points. These were the points players earned for wins over top players — e.g., under the old WTA rules, you picked up an extra 100 points for beating the #1 player, or 75 points for beating #2, with lower-ranked players being worth less and less as you moved down the rankings. I won’t go into all the details, but it’s just the way the WTA used to do it. Unfortunately, the WTA no longer uses quality points (it’s unfortunate because quality points are a much better predictor of future results than are round points). But if the WTA doesn’t think you can handle it, I am going to assume that you are something other than blibbering idiots, and give you quality points, and quality points per tournament. These may not mean much for a particular surface (the sample size is too small — in the case of grass, so small that I didn’t even bother listing it), but they’re indicative.

The third set of statistics, involving fractional points, are also calculated to cover a failing of the WTA rankings: Their failure to take into account tournament strength. (Quality points used to help with this, but quality points are no more.) A strong Tier II like Stuttgart is clearly much harder to win than a weak Tier I like the Pan Pacific, but the WTA gives more points for the latter than the former. The fractional points system avoids this: It calculates a tournament’s strength based on the Modified TSI standings (see the section on “Tournament Strengths” on page 33), then awards points accordingly. Again, we calculate fractional points and fractional points per tournament.

The last two statistics, total wins on a surface and winning percentage on the surface, I assume are self-explanatory.

In each case, I list the player’s ranking under each statistic, plus her name, her score in this system, and her WTA ranking.

Total Wins on Clay

Note: For this table, I have concentrated on high-ranked players. Many players had a lot of Challenger clay wins — e.g. Errani, with 27 clay wins at the $50K level and higher, leads players I checked, and Cornet and Zakopalova, with 26, also led Jankovic.

Winning Percent on Clay

As with the total clay wins, some players had very high percentages if you count in Challenger results. Angelique Kerber looked strong in this regard — though we’d pay more attention to Ioana Raluca Olaru, whom we show at 19–4. If she can keep that up at the WTA level, watch out.

Total Wins on Hard

As was the case on clay and grass, several players picked up enough Challenger and qualifying wins that they would be among the leaders if such counted. Anne Kremer, with 26 wins, would be Top Ten; Melinda Czink, with 25 wins; Julie Ditty, with 22; Tzipora Obziler, with 21, and Kateryna Bondarneko, with 20, would be Top Twenty.

Total Wins Indoors

As on all the other surfaces, some players accumulated a relative high number of indoor wins by playing Challengers. Lilia Osterloh and Ekaterina Bychkova, for instance, had 13 — though it took Osterloh eleven events to accumulate those 13 wins, and Bychkova nine.

Winning Percent Indoors

Among lower-ranked players, the most noteworthy was probably Chan Yung-Jan, whose several Challenger titles (see the list in the section on “Short Summary: The Top Eighty” on page 5) gave her a winning percentage trailing only Hingis, Davenport, Venus, and Hénin.

Surface Balance

Percentage of Wins on Each SurfaceThis section attempts to show how “balanced” players were between surfaces — that is, how close they came to having a “typical” ratio of clay to grass to hardcourt to indoor wins. The table below shows how many wins each player had on each surface, and the percentage of her wins on that surface. For example, Victoria Azarenka had 34 total wins, and seven on clay, so she had 20.6% of her wins on clay. She had two of her 34 wins on grass, so 5.8% of her wins were grass win.

The final column is the “surface deviation.” The players listed on the next page as a whole earned 24.5% of their wins on clay, 9.5% on grass, 49.5% on outdoor hardcourts, and 16.5% indoors. “Deviation” is each player’s root mean square deviation from this “standard” schedule of wins. A player who had an exactly typical schedule would have a deviation of 0; the higher the deviation, the stranger the player’s schedule. Roughly speaking, a deviation under 0.1 indicates a very balanced schedule — but the only players with such schedules were Kuznetsova, Petrova, Radwanska, Safarova, Schnyder, Serena Williams, and Venus Williams. A deviation under .15 could be considered balanced; 18 players (including of course the players who had deviations of less than .1) had such schedules. A schedule with a deviation of .15 to .3 is mildly unbalanced; 19 players had such a schedule. A deviation from .3 to .4 is unbalanced; three players had such schedules. Three players had extremely unbalanced schedules (deviation greater than .4), but one of these — Zheng — was injured for most of the year. The only player with an extremely unbalanced schedule who played the whole year was Maria Kirilenko.

If we look at deviations by particular surfaces, we note that twp players (Clijsters and Davenport) had no clay wins; indeed, Davenport didn’t play a clay match. Among those who were reasonably healthy, Kirilenko and Mirza had the smallest clay percentages. Zheng had the highest fraction of her wins on clay, but that again is health; Garbin, who was third in the “heaviest clay schedule” also missed a big chunk of the year. Of healthy players, Medina Garrigues had the highest percent of her wins on clay, followed by Pennetta. (No surprises yet.)

On grass, Clijsters, Davenport, Medina Garrigues, Razzano, Zheng, and Zvonareva had no wins; Clijsters, Davenport, Zheng, and Zvonareva had no grass events. The players with the heaviest biases toward grass, not surprisingly, was Bartoli, followed by Santangelo, Mauresmo, and Krajiek..

Turning to hardcourts, we at last have a surface that everyone played on, at least a little. Among players who played full scheduled, Krajicek had the strongest anti-hard bias, followed by Bartoli and Zheng. Mirza was the most extreme hardcourt fanatic (90% of her wins!), followed by Kirileno and Clijsters. Hingis and Razzano were also pretty extreme.

Indoors, Pennetta and Mirza had no wins; Pennetta had one indoor event, Mirza two. Srebotnik, Kirilenko, Santangelo, Jankovic, Li Na, and Szavay also had very weak indoor results, with injury probably being the main reason for the latter two. Davenport had the strongest indoor bias, but of course she had only three events. Of players who played a full year, Golovin was had the strongest indoor bias. Zvonareva, Mauresmo, Vaidisova, and Vakulenko were next on the pro-indoor list.

The full surface win data is shown in the table on the next page.

Percentage of Points on Each SurfacePretty much the same as the preceding, except that we total players’ points instead of their wins. As it turns out, our players earned 24.7% of their points on clay, 9.4% on grass, 48.0% on hardcourt, and 17.9% indoors.

If we look at deviations in points, following our same criteria, the playesr with very balanced schedule (deviation less than .1) were Schnyer, Safarova, Kuznetsova, Radwanska, Sugiyama, and Petrova. (This is in sharp contrast to last year, when only one player — Hingis — was very balanced. I have no clue what this means). A total of thirteen players had balanced schedules (deviation under .15): the above six plus Sharapova, Hénin, Azarenka, Bammer, Chakvetadze, Stosur, and Hantuchova. 19 players had mildly unbalanced schedules (deviation of .15 to .3). Six players had unbalanced schedules (deviation of .3 to .4). We had six players with extremely unbalanced schedules: Clijsters, Kirilenko, Zheng, Medina Garrigues, Mirza, and Myskina.(Note that Lindsay Davenport is merely “unbalanced,” not “extremely unbalanced,” even though she didn’t play either clay or grass. It just goes to show how hardcourt-heavy the schedule is.)

Looking at clay, Davenport did not play, and Clijsters had just the one loss; Hingis had only one event though she did at least earn some points. The other players with the lowest fraction of points on clay were Mirza and Kirilenko. Formally, Myskina earned the highest fraction of her points on clay — but that’s because she only had three points. The stunning figure is Medina Garrigues’s 63% of her points on clay. Zheng and Garbin were a distant third and fourth in this regard, but they had injuries. It is noteworthy to observe that Jankovic earned 40% of her point on clay.

Five players (Clijsters, Davenport, Myskina, Zheng, Zvonareva) missed grass. Razzano and Medina Garrigues had the lowest fraction of their points on grass among players who played grass. We had a near-tie for players who were most strongly biased toward grass: Venus Williams earned 40% of her points there, and Marion Bartoli 38%. Michaella Krajicek was a fairly strong third, and everyone else far back.

Given her injuries, it is little surprise to see that Zheng had the lowest fraction of her points on hardcourt, but it’s a significant surprise to see Ivanovic the second-lowest. That Krajicek is third is little surprise; she seems to like her surfaces as fast as possible. We had four extreme hardcourt fanatics: Mirza earned 85% of her points on the stuff, Kirilenko 845, and Razzano and Clijsters 81%.

Myskina had no indoor matches. Pennetta and Mirza had no indoor wins. Szavay also has a very low indoor total, because she was hurt before she could play the fall indoor season. Injury also hampered Garbin. That leaves Srebotnik as arguably our most extreme indoor-hater among players who played full schedules. Golovin was the clear leader in fraction of points earned indoors, followed rather distantly by Dementieva and Zvonareva.

The overall data for this is shown in the table on the next page.

Player Results CharacterizedThe next few items attempt to describe just how players accomplished what they accomplished. Did a particular player earn most of her points at Slams? Did she earn most of her points by beating up on weak players? Did she play a particularly strong schedule? The statistics below attempt to answer at least some of those questions.

Fraction of Points Earned at SlamsThis statistic takes a player’s Best 17 points, and her Slam points, and expresses the former as a percentage of the latter, sorting the list from highest to lowest percentave of points earned at Slams. The higher the percentage of Slam points, obviously, the more dependent on the Slams the player was. For these players overall, just over a third of the points (34.3%) were earned at Slams.

Our extremes are, of course, special cases: Myskina, who had the highest fraction of her points at Slams, played only two events. Davenport had no Slams. But it is amazing to see the Williams Sisters with almost as extreme a ratio as Myskina. And it speaks very well of Golovin’s overall results that she managed to be Top Fifteen with almost no Slam points. The fact that Hantuchova is Top Ten with such a low fraction of Slam points is also fairly impressive.

Ratio of Round to Quality PointsThis table takes our highlight players, and calculates the ratio of their round points (at all events, not just their best 17) to quality points. The more quality points (i.e. the lower the ratio), the more the players are earning their points “the hard way” (by beating top players). The higher the ratio, the higher the odds that they’re taking advantage of relatively easy draws. So Safarova and Radwanska, e.g., were facing tough going to earn their points, while Hingis and Garbin were, well, not.

For our 42 highlight players (excluding Myskina, who had no quality points), the average ratio was 2.76 : 1 (for those who remember last year, when it was just about 2 : 1, remember that the WTA inflated round points this year; I have not inflated the quality points to match the WTA’s crazy notions of what point totals “ought” to look like). The median ratio is 2.71 : 1.

Several lower-ranked players who do not appear in this table perhaps deserve mention. Yuliana Fedak’s ratio of 1.80 : 1 is better than anyone’s except Safarova’s; she has become, in a small way, an upset artist. Tamira Paszek was fourth among players I checked, at 1.84 : 1; this is another indication of her bright future. Yan Zi also scored in the Top Ten, but she is another who seems more an upset artist than a strong prospect.

The above is another item we can graph — though we’ll modify it a bit. The graph below shows what percentage of a player’s points would be round points, and what percentage from quality, if the WTA still awarded quality points. Players are in alphabetical order, with their rankings following their names. This year, in the aftermath of point inflation, The median percentage is 73% round points, 27% quality points. Anyone with more than about 78% round points it probably playing too many weak events; anyone with more than 33% quality is probably suffering from a bad schedule and will likely do better next year.

Strength of Schedule (based on nominal tournament tier)The table below determines how strong a player’s schedule was based on the tier of the event. For purposes of the calculation, a Slam or the year-end Championships is treated as a 0, a Tier I is 1, a Tier II is 2, etc.; a Challenger I have treated as “Tier 8.”A top player should probably play a schedule between 1.25 and 1.6; a player with a value of 1.0 or less is playing too high on the schedule, and one below about 1.7 is earning too many cheap points. So Szavay and (for the second straight year) Bartoli need to toughen their schedules to live up to their rankings, while Davenport, Pennetta, Razzzanno, Azarenka, Mirza, and Radwanska should do so if they want to rise; Serena Williams, Sharapova, Kuznetsova, Hénin, and Vaidisova probably need to lighten up.

Strength of Schedule (based on actual tournament strength)The table below determines a player’s strength of schedule by taking the Modified TSI (for which see “Tournament Strength Based on Modified TSI” on page 35) of each of her events, adding them up, and then dividing by the number of events. The higher the average, the tougher the player’s schedule. Because the WTA doesn’t really have rules for tournament strenth, we can’t say what number a top player “should” be playing — but anyone with an average below 250 is probably getting a lot of cheap points. (Marion Bartoli and Venus Williams, are you listening?)

Note that the numbers above do not measure how a player did against her schedule; they just measure what a player signed up for. We note that the total strength divided by total events for all our players combined is 292.3. On that basis, players from Hénin-Hardenne down to about Safina have schedules significantly tougher than average; players below Bammer were playing relatively soft schedules for a top player. We note with interest the very large gap between Sugiyama and Krajicek, which interestingly falls just a short distance below the average. The figure for Lindsay Davenport is almost unbelievably weak — but then, Davenport was playing mostly low-tier events. In 2006, Martina Müller, who had achieved relatively high ranking based on Challengers, also had a very low score — and, when she tried to move up in 2007, saw her ranking blown to shreds.

It should be noted that a high-ranked player will inherently play a somewhat tougher schedule than a low-ranked, because she herself raises the strength score of the event. It’s worth asking just how strong this effect is. The graph below charts strength of schedule against ranking for the final Top 35. The result is striking. It turns out that, once you fall below the Top 35, there is effectively no correlation between schedule strength and ranking. But for the Top 35, the correlation coefficient is .54. And even that is down — in 2006, the correlation was .76,

Average Round ReachedThe table below shows the typical level of success for each player, as shown by how far she went in the tournament. The table lists the number of titles, finals, semifinals, quarterfinals, earlier losses, and opening-round losses for each player. To take the average, we assign a “0” for an opening round or qualifying loss, “1” for an early loss (in any round before the quarterfinal), “2” for a quarterfinal, “3” for a semifinal, “4” for a final, and “5” for a title. From that, we calculate the average round reached. This is in the next-to-last column. The final column gives an approximation, in words, of what the number means.

The above is another graphable statistic.

If anything is needed to back up Justine Hénin’s absolute dominance this year, this is surely the graph! Note that (except for the special case of Davenport), no one else was within a round and a halve of Hénin’s average! Bartoli was Top Ten but averages three rounds lower than Hénin!

Quality of WinsThe table on the next page looks at the types of wins for our highlight players. Justine Hénin-Hardenne, for instance, had 63 total wins. Ten of these were over players who were Top Five at the time. twelve others were over players who were Top Ten but not Top Five. Fourteen were over players ranked #11-#20, two were over players ranked #21-#30, eight were over players ranked #31-#50, and 17 were over players ranked below the Top Fifty. The percent of her wins that fall in each category are also shown in this box. The last two columns require some additional explanation; they attempt to measure the quality of each player’s wins. The “average win” column calculates the average ranking of the opponents she beat; the lower, of course, the better (note: Players ranked below #75 are counted as #75 to keep wins over players with really low rankings from dominating. Also, qualifing wins are only counted as wins if they are against players ranked above #100. The “Median” Category is a calculation of the “middle” opponent the player faced. Again, the lower, the better — it means the player is beating top opponents.

If we want to take the above data and rank players based on the toughness of their opponents, the lists are shown below. Garbin and Pennetta are the weakest, as befits low-ranking players who play a lot of low-tier events, and the players at the top of the list are mostly the usual suspects — but perhaps the most noteworthy thing is how low Jankovic is.. It is also amazing how much better Hénin’s median win is than anyone else’s.

Quality of LossesThe equivalent of the preceding set of statistics, but for losses rather than wins. I break losses into those to Top Five players, other Top Ten players, other Top Twenty players, other Top Thirty players, other Top Fifty players, other Top 100 players, and non-Top 100 players. Again, the higher the average and median wins, the better.

There is one significant footnote to this list, having to do with the average loss. Since top players have relatively few losses, even one very bad loss can badly skew the average (though not the median). So I have treated all losses between #51 and #100 as “50,” and all losses below #100 as 75. This means the lowest possible average loss is 75.

As we did with wins, we can sort these by quality of average losses. Davenport’s result is of course meaningless, but the strong numbers for Chakvetadze are, at the very least, highly interesting. At the low end, Razzano’s collection of lousy lossesmay be more indicative of her actual level than is her ranking, though Szavay’s numbers are distorted by her rapid improvement.

Success During the First and Second Half of the YearThis is mostly a measure of “trends” — of players who did significantly better, or worse, in the first or the second half of the year. There can be a lot of reasons for this, of course — Martina Hingis and Li Na did better in the first half than in the second because they got hurt; Agnes Szavay did better in the second half because she improved; Elena Dementieva did better in the second half because she was healty; Venus Williams did better in the second half because, well, she won Wimbledon. It is left to the reader to try to figure out the reasons; we’ll just offer the data.

The first half of the year is defined as running from the end of the 2006 season the end of Roland Garros on June 9. The second half of the year runs from Birmingham to Madrid. It turns out that this is, indeed, almost exactly half the year in terms of points: our players earned 35428 points in the first half, 34942 in the second — a difference of 86 points out of more than 70,000 they collectively earned. That’s barely more than than one part in a thousand! So a player whose ratio of first half to second half points differs significantly from 1:1 is unbalanced for some reason.

The table on the next page attempts to make that clear: It lists the player’s WTA ranking, her name, her first half points, her second half points, and the ratio, first half to second half. So, for example, #1 Justine Hénin-Hardenne earned 2520 points in the first half of the year, 3635 in the second half. Since she earned more points in the second half (due in large part to her slow start to the season), her ratio is 0.69 : 1 — i.e. she earned only .69 times as many points in the first half as the second.

Note that we count every point earned in the first or second half, whether they count toward a player’s Best 17 or not. And, of course, the “expected’ ratio of first to second half points is 1:1. All ratios are expressed with respect to 1 — that is, 1.11:1, 0.95:1, etc. If the number to the left is larger than 1, then the player had a better first half; if it is less than one, then the player had a better second half. The amount of variation is extreme; as a rough rule of thumb, a player whose ratio falls between 0.6:1 and 1.5:1 can be considered fairly normal. Anything beyond those extremes is clearly unbalanced.

If you prefer to think in terms of percentages instead of ratios, the graph that follows the table expresses its figures in percents rather than as a ratio.

First Half Pts Second Half Pts


We can sort this data to see who has the most extreme “half preference.” That table is shown below, with the players at the top having the most extreme second half preference; those at the bottom did better in the first half. It is interesting and peculiar to note that the players who had the strongest bias toward the second half genuinely improved their results, while those who had the strongest bias toward the first half were, except for Clijsters, all injured.

Surface PreferencesThe section on surfaces (page 71) gave us much detail on players’ surface preferences. It did not, however, give us one grand overview. Let’s offer a few statistics on that subject. The data here is based on the points on each surface; for this, see the section “Percentage of Points on Each Surface” on page 92. The table below sorts the players based on their degree of balance, as shown in the table following page 92.

Player Surface BiasesKnowing whether a player is balanced or unbalanced is interesting, but it doesn’t tell us her actual surface preferences. The table below does that, showing the surfaces where a player earned an unusually high or low fraction of her points.

In the table below, a player is biased toward a surface if her fraction of points on that surface is at least half again the average for the top players. She is biased heavily toward a surface if her points on that surface are twice the top player average.

A player is biased against a surface if her points on that surface are less than two-thirds the top player average, and is heavily biased against it if her points are less than half the top player average.

Note that a player can have some biases and still be balanced overall. The “bias” shown below takes one surface at a time, whereas deviation measured above is based on all four surfaces simultaneously (meaning that a player who is significantly off-balance on all four surfaces, without a bias on a particular surface, may show more deviation than a player who has one relatively good or bad surface but who is otherwise fairly balanced).

There has been an interesting change this year. Last year, only two players were without biases. This year, the number is eight —Hénin, Kuznetsova, Radwanska, Safarova, Schnyder, Sharapova, Stosur, Sugiyama.

To try to make it clearer the level of bias for each player, I’ve put one bias on each line. So the shorter the entry below, the more nearly balanced the player. Players with no biases are shown in BOLD.

Except for the handful of much-injured players, there are few real surprises here — e.g. Medina Garrigues is a clay freak, and it shows. Bartoli probably doesn’t really like grass that well. but her freak Wimbledon of course altered the picture. Kirilenko biases toward hard because she played well only during one brief stretch on summer and fall hardcourts. Ditto Razzano. Krajicek is a grass freak. Etc.

Alternate RankingsTo justify this section, we should perhaps start at the very beginning, and ask, “What is a ranking system?”

It’s pretty easy to rank two and only two players. Surely we can agree that, if player A beats player B in most of their meetings, and they never play others, then player A is better, right? Well, that gives us a way of ranking a whole bunch of players: The ideal ranking system is the one in which the rankings of all players most accurately reflects the head-to-head results of each individual pair of players. Or, to put it another way, for all pairs of players A and B, the ranking system is the ordering of players for which, if A>B (that is, if A wins the largest share of her matches against B), then A is ranked ahead of B for the highest number of pairs of players.

An obvious concept, but a very difficult one to calculate. For one thing, these relationships are not transitive. If A>B, and B>C, it does not necessarily follow that A>C (think Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and James Blake to see what this means: Nadal, at least in the past, usually beat Federer, but Blake beat Nadal, and Federer beat Blake). For another, there is no method, except brute force, to test for the best ranking system under these circumstances — and the task is too large for any computer today.

But we can approximate. The WTA ranking system is, in theory, an attempt to calculate this ranking list. Unfortunately, the WTA is run by marketing people, who of course should denied by law the right to have anything to do with mathematics or science, but of course, being marketing people (and not very good ones at that), they refuse to admit this. So they’ve created a ranking system that has no relationship whatsoever to the ideal ranking system.

There is nothing magic about the current system. The WTA has revised its ranking system many times over the years; indeed, they in effect revised them every week of 2007 (they changed the points table for 2007, inflating the points by about 30% for most events, but did not adjust the old point totals in any way. So new events were worth about 30% more than old. The only real effect of the change, after the year was over, was to inflate everyone’s point total. But during the year, it meant that, in effect, every week saw a new twist on the points table). But two of these changes stand out as the most utterly stupid: The 1997 change from divisor rankings (under which losses counted) to additive rankings (in which losses didn’t count), and the 2006 change which eliminated the “quality points” players earned for wins over top players (meaning that you earned just as many points for a walkover as you did for beating the world’s top player).

I won’t burden you with the reasons why these changes made the WTA rankings less like the real rankings — though there are good theoretical reasons why this is so. I’ll just note that what the WTA can miscalculate, we can recalculate.

Remember that I can no more calculate the ideal rankings than the WTA can. But I’m going to make a few attempts at ranking systems which are more accurate, or which, in some cases, reveal a particular point without necessarily being a proper ranking system in themselves.

The first few systems all rely on the same basic data: Points and number of events. The WTA calculates its rankings based on “round points” — points earned based on going a certain distance in a tournament. We’ll use those, but we’ll also calculate the quality points that the players would have earned if the WTA still had quality points. Then — well, then we’ll fiddle. The basic numbers we’ll be using are below. We’re looking at only the higher-ranked players — those the WTA had in the Top Forty at year-end, plus our usual handful of others.

2005 Rankings: Best 17 Rankings with Quality PointsFor our first measure, let’s see what the rankings would have been had the WTA not shifted ranking systems in 2006. The table below takes the player’s points as given by the WTA, subtracts a fourteenth of their Slam points (since the Slams were boosted in value as part of the system change), takes 25% more off the result (to get back to an approximation of the 2005 points table), then adds quality points. Notice that our first change occurs as high as #2! On the other hand, all the same players are Top Ten.

1996 Ranking System: The DivisorThe ranking system above had results similar to the WTA’s. Not so the 1996 ranking system! The divisor takes a player’s total points in all events (including quality points), then divides by the number of events — or by 14, whichever is larger. (Players were expected to play at least 14 events.) We will again adjust the round points down to approximate the 2005 points table (our other alternative being to inflate the quality points, so as to make quality points have the same weight as before, but by doing it this way, we make our results more nearly comparable to numbers from 1996).

This was a better reflection of a player’s actual abilities than the WTA’s Best 17— and, yes, it changes the rankings even more dramatically tha the preceding. The only player in the Top Ten who keeps her ranking is Hénin, and we have two new Top Ten players: Vaidisova and Golovin, replacing Hantuchova and Bartoli (the latter of whom, note, falls all the way to #17!)

1996 Ranking System Updated: The Declining DivisorAs a ranking system, the divisor had much to commend it. We know on theoretical grounds (which I won’t bore you with) that it was a fairly good reflection of the ideal ranking system. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really reflect current WTA reality. The fact that the WTA ranking system just adds points means that losses don’t count. Players are rewarded for playing to, or even slightly past, their limits. And, because the number of high-tier events is fixed, they inevitably pay more weak events as they add tournaments.

The solution: The declining divisor. We still take total points, but instead of dividing by total events (or by 14), we use a modified divisor. Since players are now expected to play at least 16 events, we divide by a minimum of 16 — but subtract a third of an event for each tournament above 16. So if player played 17 events, her total points are divided by 162⁄3. If she plays 18 events, her divisor is 171⁄3. And so forth.

Not too surprisingly, the results of this are intermediate between the current ranking system and the 1996 system. In the Top Ten, we still have Vaisisova and Golovin at #9 and #10, rather than Hantuchova and Bartoli, but Bartoli doesn’t fall as far as under the divisor, and we see Ivanovic at #2, as she was under the 2005 rankings, rather than Serena who was #2 under ther divisor..

One thing this ranking makes abundantly clear is just how far ahead of the field Justine Hénin stands. Under the Declining Divisor, unlike the WTA rankings, you can’t just frequent fly your way to the top (note where it puts Jankovic!), but Hénin, with a very limited schedule, still has twice the score of her nearest rival.

The results of this ranking are on the next page.

2007 Rankings with Triple Quality PointsMost of the rankings so far have looked at so far have, in some way or other, added back the quality points the WTA eliminated in 2006. But quality points were never more than about a third of a player’s points, and that fraction shrank over the years as the WTA inflated round points. We will see below that quality points are the forward-looking part of the rankings — the best predictor of future results. So the next few rankings try to be more balanced by increasing the quality points. In this case, we’ll take the actual WTA round points and add in triple quality points. The results are about typical: Ivanovic back at #2, but the same Top Ten as under the WTA rankings..

1996-Style Divisor Rankings with Triple Quality PointsAs you can probably guess, this is calculated the same way as the “regular” 1996 rankings: total points plus quality points (doubled) divided by number of events or 14, whichever is larger. The results are not that much different from the other Divisor ranking: Serena #2, Hantuchova and Bartoli out of the Top Ten, Safarova up dramatically..

Declining Divisor with Triple Quality PointsThe preceding would probably be just about the ideal points-and-divisor ranking if the WTA didn’t use additive rankings, but as it is, it ignores the players who overplay. So, under current circumstances, we should adjust for player schedules. If you’re read the preceding several introductions, you’ll probably understand this: Total round points, triple quality points, minimum divisor 16, with each event past #16 discounted by a third. The results of that are given below. Once again we see Kuznetsova fall, and Bartoli and Hantuchova below #10, but Serena doesn’t rise enough to pass Ivanovic, who again ends up with the #2 ranking. \

Quality Points per TournamentOne last variation on the WTA Points-based ranking. Since we’ve said that quality points are the best predictors of future results, why not raw quality points per tournament? This is our “future potential ranking”: It is among the best at forecasting which players are likely to make big moves in future.

Because this ranking is very different from most of the other rankings here, I have listed the entire Top Fifty under this ranking (at least, the Top Fifty among the players I checked, which includes all players with significant WTA-level results). Fascinatingly, the Top Five are unchanged under this ranking — something I would never have guessed. Though we note that Hénin-Hardenne’s lead, which is quite small in the WTA rankings, is huge in this department. We also notice Lindsay Davenport all the way up at #6, Venus Williams at #11, Serena Williams at #13 — and Patty Schnyder, whom the WTA alleges to be a Top Ten player, at #20!

Virginia Ruano Pascual’s high ranking doesn’t mean much; she has a history as an upset artist. The evidence does seem to indicate that Paola Suárez still has the potential for a comeback, though, and Tsvetana Pironkova and (especially) Agnieszka Radwanska can still climb. Victoria Azarenka, who doesn’t get nearly as much attention, also looks like a good prospect. But Lucie Safarova looks like she’ll be falling, and Elena Vesnina probably isn’t as good as her WTA ranking indicates.

How good is this ranking at predicting things? Pretty good. For 2002, e.g., it “predicted” Daniela Hantuchova,. For 2003 it forecast Maria Sharapova. Then, in 2004, it predicted that Sharapova would not improve as much in 2005; it also forecast falls for Anastasia Myskina, Svetlana Kuznetsova, and Ai Sugiyama. Plus it also forecast big moves by Sesil Karatancheva (who was last year’s #127, but #35 in quality points per tournament — which just happened to be her 2005 year-end ranking before she was suspended!), Anna Chakvetadze, Nicole Vaidisova, and Ana Ivanovic. Of these, only Vaidisova was really obvious at the end of 2004 — except in the quality standings. For 2006, it forecast the return of Justine Hénin-Hardenne, the fall of Nathalie Déchy, and the continued progress of Michaella Krajicek. And, in March of 2006, it said that Martina Hingis would end that year at #8. She was of course #7, but by a very small margin. Last year it predicted big things for Agnieszka Radwanska. It’s not perfect — for 2003, it forecast Myriam Casanova as the Next Big Thing, and it liked Tszvetna Pironkova in 2006 — but it’s the best predictor of future success I have found to date.

On the evidence, if the Williams Sisters can stay healthy, they will still be threats. There was no need for Clijsters to retire, and there is every reason to think Davenport’s comeback will continue well. The supply of promising youngsters is surprisingly small — but watch out for Paszek..

Tournament Strength-Based RankingsTo this point, everything we’ve done has been based on WTA methods — not necessarily their current methods, but methods they’ve used at one time or another. Given their track record on rankings, there is no particular reason why we shouldn’t break away from this.

One real defect in the WTA rankings (one of the aspects formerly covered up by quality points) is that the points the WTA awards for an event don’t correspond very closely to the actual strength of an event. The Slams are always stronger than the Tier III events, and even the weakest Tier I is stronger than the strongest Tier IV, but a weak Tier I like the Pan Pacific is hardly comparable to a strong Tier I like Zürich, and is in fact weaker than some strong Tier II events like Stuttgart.

We can, of course, control for this if we have some measure of tournament strength. We find this measure in the Modified Tournament Strength Index, as discussed on page 35. On this basis, we can award points based on

tournament strengths. The WTA awards full points for winning an event, 70% of that total for a final, 45% for a semifinal, etc. We can use those numbers, but plug in our tournament strength values. We then add up a player’s total for all of her events. That gives us this list — fascinatingly unlike the WTA-based system above.:

Adjusted Strength per Tournament RankingOf course, the above ranking suffers from the same problem as the WTA rankings: It’s all additive. If we take points per tournament under this system, things change significantly. Interesting to see Clijsters so strong despite her lack of motivation...:

Adjusted Strength per Tournament Ranking, With Quality PointsOne more variation on the Adjusted Tournament Strength: Let’s add quality points to the adjusted strength round points, then divide by the total number of events. Perhaps not surprisingly, this gives us a sort of a mix of the preceding with quality per tournament rankings: Serena and Clijsters take the #2 and #3 spots.:

Idealized Won/LostAnd now, for something completely different. So different, it makes WTA #8 Venus Williams the #2 player.

In concept, this is simple: It’s a ranking based on won/loss percent. In practice it’s going to take a lot of explaining. Start with this: Theoretically, winning percentage ought to be a good measure of who is ranked highest. Except — a player who plays weak events may well produce a much higher winning percentage than a better player who plays stronger events. An obvious and infamous victim of this was Anna Kournikova. She played almost entirely Tier II and higher events, and never won any. As an obvious contrast, Henrieta Nagyova won nine career titles, mostly because she played a lot of Tier IV events. Kournikova was by far the better player (even at the very end of her career in 2003, when Kournikova was in her final spiral out of the game, she won her last meeting with Nagyova 6–1 6–2). But the Russian never put up the titles that would, on their face, prove it.

So a ranking system based on won/lost must somehow take tournament strength into account. And we need to track wins over top players. An we need to encourage players to play as much as possible, within reason.

We can do all of those things. To deal with the first, we simply diddle with the value of wins. Let’s arbitrarily say that a win at a Tier I counts as one standard win. Then we will assign a value of 1.1 wins for a Slam win (this is our Slam Bias, since in fact the early rounds at Slams are generally easier than at Tier I events). A Tier I win is, of course 1.0 wins. A Tier II win is .95 wins. A Tier III win is .8 wins. A Tier IV win is .6 wins. And a Challenger win is .4 wins. (I repeat that numbers are arbitrary, and different values will get you different results, but they feel about right to me).

We will not count qualifying wins, though qualifying losses we will count.To take wins over top players into account, we’ll assign bonus wins: If you beat a Top Four player, it’s

worth an extra .6 wins. A player ranked #5 to #10 gets you .4 bonus wins. Beating #11-#20 gets you .2, and beating #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. 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: Withdrawals and walkovers do not count as wins or losses.

The columns in the table on the next page are as follows: Rank: The player’s ranking under this system. Player: The player’s name. Events: How many tournaments she played. Wins: Actual WTA wins. Losses: Actual WTA losses. Top 4 Wins: How many wins she had over players ranked #1-#4. Top 10 Wins: Number of wins over players ranked #5-#10 (note that this is not actually the number of wins she has over Top Ten players; that is in fact the sum of “Top 4 wins” and “Top 10 Wins”). Top 20 Wins: Wins over players ranked #11-#20. Top 35 wins: Wins over players ranked #21-#35. Adjusted wins: The player’s adjusted win count. If this is higher than her number of actual wins, as is true e.g. of Sharapova and Hénin-Hardenne, it means the player is playing a lot of high-tier events; if it is dramatically lower than her number of wins, as e.g. for Peer or Bartoli, it means she is playing far down the tier scale. Bonus Wins: The value, in wins, of the victories over the top players. Adj Losses: Losses calculated according to the formula above. Adj W %: Winning percent under this formula:

(Adjusted wins+Bonus Wins)/(Adjusted wins+Bonus Wins+Adj. Losses)WTA: The player’s WTA rankingThis is a very different ranking, but still, eight of WTA Top Ten remain Top Ten. In a different order, though. And Bartoli and Hantuchova fall out of hte Top Ten (Bartoli to #22!), with Golovin and Dementieva taking their places..

Incidentally, an advantage of divisor rankings is the they generally lessen the penalty for being hurt or not playing. In this ranking system, we could handle that by eliminating the “penalty losses” players suffer


for being hurt. If we did that for Davenport or Clijsters, the one affected would be #8. That’s generally better injury protection than they get from the WTA, and it could also be entirely automatic.

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 usually at least half a dozen other events which are competitive in terms of field strength. And many of them aren’t even Tier I events; the Tier II tournaments at Sydney and Filderstadt have traditionally been stronger than the average Tier I; the Tier I events at Moscow and Tokyo, by contrast, have a history of being too weak for the points they award. Quality points make up for some of that — or they did in the days when the WTA had the brains to award them — but not all.

Which gives us the basis for another ranking, the “Majors Ranking.” We take the ten best events (based partly on history, surface balance, and spread across the schedule) and partly on their strength this year, as reflected in the section on tournaments), and count results only in those events. In 2007, our list is Sydney, Australian Open, Miami, Berlin, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, San Diego, U. S. Open, Stuttgart, and the Madrid Championships. (The list does vary from year to year, as described below.) Since all these events are strong, we don’t need quality points for this ranking. And early losses are worthless. We’ll count only semifinals and better: 1 point for a semifinal, 3 for a final, 5 for a win.

Note that this gives a title more relative value than the WTA ranking table. The WTA awards Win/Final/Semifinal points in the ratio 20:14:9; this system awards 20:12:4, because winning is much more memorable than being a finalist, and hardly anyone remembers a player who doesn’t even make the semifinal.

By definition, no more than forty players can earn majors points in a year, and in practice fifteen is about normal — meaning that the 17 we have this year is rather high. Also by definition, only 100 points are awarded in a year. It will be evident that the “Majors Ranking” is not useful as an overall ranking system — it isn’t intended to be — but it is a good measure of the accomplishments we might count toward Player of the Year. Hénin-Hardenne’s 25 points is about typical for a #1 in this ranking, though in recent years the totals have been much lower.

To give some perspective on these numbers: In 2006, when the events on the list were the four Slams, the Championships, Miami, Sydney, Rome San Diego, and Zürich (the same list as this year, note, except for Rome/Berlin and Zürich/Stuttgart), we had 15 players, with Hénin #1 with 24 — and Sharapova right on her tail with 21. Mauresmo had 15, meaning that last year we had three players stronger than this year’s #2. Kuznetsova was #4 with 11 points, Clijsters #5 with 7 points, Hingis had 5 points, an no one else more than three.

In 2005, when I counted Filderstadt instead of Zürich, we had a very high total of 21 players with Majors points, though the 15 points scored by leader Amélie Mauresmo was rather low. (That’s inevitable, with only 100 points to award: If a lot of players have points, then nobody can have many.) More surprising is the fact that, with such a low total for the leader, we have only four players with ten or more points: Mary Pierce had 14, Lindsay Davenport 12, Kim Clijsters 10.

In 2004, we had 17 players with Majors points, though with even lower totals for the leader: Lindsay Davenport and Mauresmo led with 13 points, Serena Williams had 12, and four others had 10 points.

2003 was more typical though much more top-heavy: 14 players, led by Kim Clijsters (32 points), Justine Hénin-Hardenne (22), Serena Williams (15), and no one else with more than 8.

In 2002, we had fifteen players: Serena Williams of course led with 29 points, then Venus Williams (16), Clijsters (13), Capriati (11), and all others below 10. In 2001, when Indian Wells replaced Rome, we had only thirteen Majors point-scorers, despite which the leaders had low totals: Venus Williams (22), Capriati (15), Davenport (14), Hingis (14), Serena (13), and the rest lower. 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), and the rest below ten. In 1999, Filderstadt substitutes for the Canadian Open, and we again had sixteen players: Hingis (31), Davenport (23), Venus (11), Graf (10), and the rest below 10.


Since I started compiling this statistic, the highest score has been the 32 points by Clijsters in 2003 (yes, the year she didn’t win any Slams — but won everything else). Prior to that, the biggest score I can guarantee is Martina Hingis’s 43 points in 1997. No doubt players like Graf in 1988 and 1989 scored higher, but I don’t have the tournament strength data to determine which events belong on the Majors list.

The list of players with at least one Majors point in 2007 is as follows (I also show the Majors points earned at each event):

The chart on the next page may give some perspective on this: It shows the points earned by the top eight players in the Majors Rankings over the years 2000–2006 (plus that 1997 Hingis data point for comparison)

Top Doubles Players Analysed

All the Players in the Doubles Top Ten in 2007:The Complete Top Ten Based on WTA (Best 11) Statistics

The lists below show all players who have ranked in the Top Ten in 2007, with the highest rank achieved. A total of seventeen players spent time in the Top Ten in 2007.

The following list shows all the players who have occupied a given position in the Top 10: 1. Black, Huber, Raymond. Stosur2. Hub,er Raymond, Stosur3. Black, Raymond, Stosur, Zheng4. Huber, Srebotnik, Stosur, Yan, Zheng5. Black, Santangelo, Srebotnik, Yan, Zheng6. Huber, Santangelo, Srebotnik, Stubbs, Sugiyama, Zheng7. Chuang, Srebotnik, Stubbs, Sugiyama8. Chan, Déchy, Molik, Peschke, Santangelo, Schiavone, Srebotnik, Stubbs, Sugiyama9. Chan, Chuang, Peschke, Santangelo, Schiavone, Srebotnik, Stubbs, Sugiyama, Yan

10. Chan, Chuang, Peschke, Ruano Pascual, Srebotnik, Stubbs, Yan

It’s rather interesting to compare this with the doubles Top Ten at the end of, say, 1999. The Top Ten that year was 1. Kournikova, 2. Hingis, 3. Neiland, 4. Davenport, 5. Raymond, 6.Morariu, 7. Stubbs, 8. Likhovtseva, 9. Sanchez-Vicario, 10. Serena Williams, 10. Venus Williams. That list of 11 players includes the entire singles Top Four (Hingis, Davenport, Venus, Serena), and Kournikova, Likhovtseva, and Sanchez-Vicario were also Top Twenty players. The 2007 list has not one player who is in the singles Top Ten, and though a few players on the list have made runs at that ranking, only Molik seemed likely to stay there— and even she is there no longer. And we see increased numbers of doubles specialists — Black, Huber, Peschke, Raymond, and Stubbs no longer play singles at all, and of the others, only Santangelo, Schiavone, Srebotnik, Stosur, and Sugiyama are in any way significant in singles — and Sugiyama is fading fast. There can be little doubt: Doubles and singles are becoming separate though related sports.

Modified TSI is not easy to apply to doubles events, but we can calculate Top Four Players — or, rather, Top Four Teams. We follow a rule similar to that we used for the singles, except that we count the top four teams equally: Take the combined rankings team with the best combined ranking. Add the ranking of the #2 team, then the ranking of the #3 and #4 teams.

In singles, the minimum score is 13. In doubles, this is more complicated, since there can be multiple players with the same ranking, and of course the #1 player can choose to play with #100. The minimum if we have teams of #1+#2, #3+#4, #5+#6, and #7+#8 is 36. We had only one event — the U. S. Open — with a score of #36. There were, however, three other events with totals less than forty: Miami, Berlin, and Roland Garros. On the other hand, we have eight events with combined rankings greater than 50; these, obviously, were more like Challengers than Tour events (indeed, the gap between Tour events and Challengers is often less in doubles, because very good doubles players maybe forced into Challengers because their singles rankings are so low).

The table below lists the sixty WTA events with a doubles draw (recall that Forest Hills has no doubles draw), sorted in order based on how strong they are.

This table has one other twist: It also lists the tournament’s score in the singles Top Four rankings, so we can compare the tournament’s strength in singles and doubles. It turns out that a “normal” tournament will have a ratio of about 3.2 of singles strength to doubles strength On this basis, we can decide if a tournament is roughly equally strong in singles and doubles, or of singles or doubles is much stronger. Without going into detail, suffice it to say that we use four magic cutoffs to determine this: 2.0, 2.7, 3.8, 5.0.

Doubles ResultsWhat follows is similar to the tables for singles player results (page 41), with a handful of exceptions. For starters, obviously, the list shows which partner a player played each event with. Also, the list of teams beaten is a little different. Instead of listing rankings, it lists seed numbers, in curly brackets {}. In some cases, where a particularly significant team has gone unseeded, I’ve listed them anyway. So, for example, the second line in the entry for Shinobu Asagoe reads

Australian Open w/Srebotnik (Slam, SF [Yan {34}/Zheng {33}], 4) — Huber/Schiavone {8}, Black/Stubbs {2}That means Asagoe played the Australian Open with Katarina Srebotnik. They made the semifinal before losing to #34 Yan Zi and #33 Zheng Jie, winning four matches to do so. Along the way, they beat #8 seeds Huber/Schiavone and #2 Black/Stubbs.

A note about withdrawals: Doubles withdrawals have become so common that events often don’t have Lucky Losers available to fill draw slots when a team pulls out of the first round. For purposes of record-keeping, these withdrawals are listed in the player results below (see, e.g. Daniilidou at Birmingham). The WTA does not count either withdrawal as an event, so players with this sort of withdrawal will show more events than the WTA lists. When teams withdraw and another team replaces them, I have not listed these.

Doubles Upsets

The 50 Biggest Doubles Upsets of 2007On page 62, we saw the 100 biggest singles upsets of 2007, based on the ratio of player rankings. The list below is equivalent for doubles. We take the combined ranking of the winning team (with unranked players being treated as “999”), and divide it by the ranking of the losing team. The higher that ratio, the higher the team stands on this list.

Doubles 1996 Ranking System: The DivisorFor background, see the discussion of the singles divisor ranking on page 123. This produces a much greater change than the preceding — note, e.g., Stosur rising to #3. And that’s with a divisor of 14, even though a lot of significant players had fewer than 14 doubles events. Lower divisors might haveput Hingis and Kuznersova, e.g., in the Top Twenty. But players like Shaughnessy fall hard.

Doubles 1996 Ranking System Updated: The Declining DivisorFor explanation of this system, see the singles Declining Divisor, page 125. This, we observe, gives us results much more like the WTA doubles rankings than the preceding — almost identical, in fact, with the top seven players all the same. Of course, a lot of that is because the declining divisor requires so many events..

Doubles 2006 Rankings with Quintuple Quality PointsIn concept, this is equivalent to the ““2007 Rankings with Triple Quality Points” on page 127. But, for this purpose, I’ve multipled the quality points by five. This is because doubles awarded proportionately fewer quality points (more on this later). Massively boosting the quality points is an attempt to offset this. Note what this does for Srebotnik and Sugiyama.

Doubles Quality Points per TournamentAbove, on page 130, I explained the advantage of quality points as a measure of a player’s future potential. Unfortunately, quality points never meant as much in doubles. The reason was the way the WTA awarded them. They were awarded based on the combined team ranking. So even a team consisting of the world’s #1 and #2 doubles players had a combined ranking of 3, and was worth only 66 quality points, whereas a win over the #1 singles player was worth 100. A team consisting of the #3 and #4 players in the world, even though it would probably be the #2 team, had a combined ranking of 7, and was worth 43 quality points, compared to 75 for the #2 singles player. This could easily have been rectified by a change in the points table — but the WTA instead abolished quality points! It remains to be established if quality points per tournament are a good indicator of anything in doubles. It was, for instance, quite a surprise to see Srebotnik at #1 — after all, she reached three of the last five Slam finals, then clutched up. On the other hand, it’s no surprise to see the system promoting players like Martina Hingis and Svetlana Kuznetsova — though it’s not likely that they will be climbing the doubles rankings!.

Doubles Tournament Strength-Based RankingsThis is similar to the concept we used above for singles; see““Tournament Strength-Based Rankings” on page 131. In this case, I have used the tournament strengths from page 150. The points for a doubles event are set by dividing 7200 by the tournament strength (meaning that the maximum possible strength is about 200 points, though few events exceed 150 in practice); I have set a floor of 20 points. I have taken Challenger points only for Top 25 players..

Doubles Adjusted Strength per Tournament RankingAs with the “Adjusted Strength per Tournament Ranking” on page 133, we calculate this ranking by dividing the results of the preceding by the number of events.. This has interesting effects: Note Zheng back int he Top Ten, and Hingis at #18. But Vladimira Uhliraova falls out of the Top Forty.

Doubles “Majors Ranking” — TeamThis is, obviously, the same as the singles “Majors Ranking” on page 137. I have, however, significantly changed the list of events involved — omitting even the Madrid Championships. This is not because it’s a weak event, but because it involves only three matches. You get to the semifinal without even playing! So, based in part on the list of strongest events, I decided to rate results base on the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Rome, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, San Diego, the U.S. Open, Zürich, and Linz.

To give these numbers some sort of perspective, last year’s co-#1 players Lisa Raymond and Samantha Stosur had 21 points (individually and as a team), followed by Cara Black and Rennae Stubbs with 12. The year before, Black had 17 majors points, followed by Stosur with 16. But that was an unusually weak year. In 2004, Black/Stubbs and Ruano Pascual/Suárez had 23 points; in 2003, Clijsters/Sugiyama had 23 points together. In 2002, Paola Suárez had 25 points (21 of them with Ruano Pascual). Lisa Raymond led the Tour in 2001, with 28 points. The best year in recent memory was Martina Hingis in 1998; her Grand Slam plus other results gave her 36 points. Martina Navratilova surely did better somewhere in the past, but we don’t have the tournament strengths to tell you just what her total would have been. Probably somewhere around 42-45.

A total of 17 teams earned majors points this year. Note, however, the amazing fact that Black/Huber managed to earn points at all but one of the majors, with Raymond/Stosur doing almost as well until Stosur got sick. Note also that, though Srebotnik/Sugiyama came in third, they won no major titles; neither did co-#4 Chan/Chuang. A strange year.

Doubles “Majors Ranking” — IndividualSame as above, but based on individuals rather than teams. All told, 32 players earned at least one Majors point. Raymond and Stosur, not too surprisingly, earned points at the most Majors events — seven. But third place, interesting, did not go to Black or Stubbs or Yan or Zheng, but to Srebotnik.

The highest-ranked doubles player not to earn any major points at all was #15 Sun Tiantian. Sania Mirza was the only other Top Twenty player not t show up -- but, interesting, most of the players from #22-#30 didn’t earn a score.

Total Ranked Players, 1999–2007The table and graph show you the total number of players on the singles and doubles rankings over the last few years. (Why the sharp decline this year? Probably due to the points table revision that eliminates fractional points and so does not award points for certain first round loses that used to count. It’s interesting to note that the change did not affect doubles, where the number of players continues to climb)

The Busiest Players on the Tour

Total Events PlayedThe table on the next page shows the number of matches played by every player in the Top Fifty, plus a couple of dozen players below that (all Top 100 players with 28 or more events, and all players, of any ranking, with 30 or more events). It also shows their WTA rankings. (NOTE: The WTA ranking lists theoretically show how many events players have played, but in fact these figures may be inaccurate due to required events. I have filled in the number of actual events played for the Top Forty; I have not checked players ranked below that, but simply used the WTA number.)

We note that the top ten players in this list all played primarily at the Challenger level; in fact, only one Top Fifty player (the ubiquitous Marion Bartoli) had more than thirty events. Jelena Jankovic, with 28 events, was the next-busiest top player.

It is interesting to ask if there is any correlation at all between ranking and number of matches played. Obviously there isn’t much for the Tour as a whole, or Jankovic would be #1. But let’s look at the WTA Top Thirty, since they, for the most part, were playing at the WTA level all year. If we graph their rankings against their matches played, we see this:

There is perhaps a slight correlation there — but it appears to be slight. If we take the correlation coefficient between ranking and matches for these players, it turns out to be -.57, similar to a correlation of -.52 in 2006. (Correlation coefficients can range from 1, meaning perfect correlation, to 0, meaning no correlation, to -1, indicating inverse correlation.) What that -.57 number means is that, generally, the higher your ranking, the more matches you have played — but the correlation isn’t very high. (In standard physics-lab-type experiments, you routinely get correlation coefficients of at least .95.) Still, it’s much closer correlation than in 2005, there was a correlation of only .13. Which, for a data set this size, is no correlation at all.

Number of Events Played by the Top 100This is a statistic the WTA has made needlessly difficult to compute, because the “events played” column in their rankings no longer refers to events played but to nominal events played — required events which they skip are still counted. An extreme example of this was Anastasia Myskina: She was out with injury for most of the year. But her ranking was high enough that she was supposed to play the Australian Open, Miami, and Roland Garros. So there she was, on the next-to-last ranking list of the year, shown as having five events even though she had only two matches!

I used to calculate this statistic for the Top 150. I finally decided to cut back to the Top 100. As it is, the WTA ranking list showed excess events for the following Top Fifty players: Dementieva, Golovin, Hénin, Hingis, Mauresmo, Mirza, Li Na, Peng, Venus Williams, and Zvonareva. That’s ten out fifty! And it’s just possible that I missed one or two below #50. The statistics below are based on actual events played, not nominal.

In terms of actual events played, the Top 100 totalled 2262 events this year. That compares with 2308 in 2006, 2226 in 2005, 2265 in 2004, and 2330 in 2003. It will be seen that the total fluctuates somewhat, but not much in recent years.

It is interesting to note that the maximum events played by a Top 100 player has gone up this year. Again. Tatiana Malek’s 24 events surpasses the 33 events put up by Marion Bartoli, Martina Müller, and Julia Schruff in 2006. In 2005, the most for a Top 100 player was 30 (by Craybas, Foretz, and Sromova). In 2004, Benesova and Jidkova led the Top 100 with 32 events each. 2003 was the last time a Top 100 player had more than 33 events: Vakulenko last year had fully 34. But three players with 33 events appears to be without precedent.

Bartoli still manages to be the busiest player in the Top Fifty, and in the Top Twenty, and indeed in the Top Ten (though she is unlikely to be Top Ten next year).

The median number of events this year is 23 — down from 24 in 2006. The mode is 23 events (that is, more players played 23 events than any other number); no fewer than 11 players played a 23-tournament schedule. We had 10 players play 28 events, and 10 more play 26, Interestingly, there was much more spread in the list this year than last; the most popular numbers were less popular in 2007 than 2006.

Fully 35 of the Top 100 played 26 events or more; 46 played 24 events or more — dramatically down from the 56 last year. 35 players had 20 events or fewer — up from 26 last year. Still, only 15 Top 100 players played 16 or fewer events — but that list is highly distinguished, including as it does Davenport, Hénin, Hingis, Mauresmo, Sharapova, and Venus and Serena Williams.

The table on the next page shows the list of Top 100 players with each number of events The number in parenthesis after the player’s name is her ranking. Top 25 players are shown in bold.


The above data can be graphed. The graph on the next page shows how popular each schedule is — that is, the number of players playing that number of events.

It’s also interesting to compare rankings against number of events played. Do these correlate? The graph below shows the comparison. If there is any correlation, it is not obvious. In fact, the correlation coefficient between rankings and events played is only .37 (and even that is twice what it was last year). Playing a heavy schedule is not the way to get ahead.

Total Matches Played by the Top 30 Doubles PlayersThis is the doubles equivalent of the item “Total Matches Played by Top Players” on page 188, except that I only checked the Top Thirty. There are probably lower-ranked players with more doubles matches. The goal is simply to compare the matches played by the top players.

The graph is interesting: There does appear to be more of a correlation between matches played and ranking than we had in singles. And the correlation coefficient agrees: We have a coefficient of .65.

Ranking


Number of Events Played By the Top 100 Doubles PlayersThis is the equivalent to the singles“Number of Events Played by the Top 100” on page 190.Interestingly, though the extremes are not too different in singles and doubles, the doubles Top 100 had many fewer events: 1903, compared to 2262 events for the top singles players. A little of this may be smaller draw sizes; it may also be significant that doubles is Best 11 rather than Best 17. The median number of events is much lower: 20, compared to 23 on the singles side. The mode is 20 events, played by 12 players. The table below shows the list of Top 100 players with each number of events The number in parenthesis after the player’s name is her ranking. Top 25 players are shown in bold.

InjuriesFor years, I tried to keep track of injuries to top players, listing the type and the events they missed.

I’ve given up. There are too many.We can hardly let a year pass without some investigation of injuries, though. We can at least list the rates

of matches ending in withdrawals and retirements, or of last-minute bail-outs resulting in the introduction of a Lucky Loser into a main draw.

In singles, the numbers are as follows for 2007:Withdrawals — 9Retirements — 81Lucky losers in WTA draws — 48Total: 138

This is fascinating, because it means that (as measured by these statistics), the overall rate of injuries has gone down. For the first time in a decade.In 2006, I list 16 withdrawals, 90 retirements, and 64 Lucky Losers — a total of 170 players not completing a match.2005, I show 61 retirements, 14 withdrawals, and 74 Lucky Losers — a total of 149 instances of players not finishing.

I didn’t track retirements in 2004, so I can’t compare before that. I do note that the number of withdrawals was higher in 2004; it appears that increased pressure on players is causing them to try harder to either start their matches or to withdraw before play began.


WTA Tour HistoryWho Won What Summary — SinglesThe following table 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 two 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 (minus Bartoli, who has never won a tournament larger than a Tier III, so why bother listing her when I can sneer at her here instead), plus the major players of recent years.

Several of these players have also won Tier II events that are no longer played. The list: Clijsters — Hamburg (1/02), Leipzig (2/00), Filderstadt (2/02); Davenport — Atlanta (1/97), Chicago (1/97), Filderstadt (3/01), Philadelphia (2/99), Princess Cup (1/99), Scottsdale (1/01); Hingis — Filderstadt (4/96), Hamburg (2/98), Philadelphia (1/97); Martinez — Barcelona (1/91), Hamburg (1/95), Houston (1/93), Philadelphia (1/93), Stratton Mountain (2/93), Tampa (1/89); Mauresmo — Nice (1/01), Philadelphia (3/03); Pierce — Filderstadt (1/93), Princess Cup (1/95); Seles — Bahia (1/01), Barcelona (1/92), Chicago (1/93), Essen (1/92), Houston (3/89), Milan (1/91), Philadelphia (1/91), Princess Cup (5/91), San Antonio (1/90), Tampa (1/90); S. Williams — Hannover (1/00), Princess Cup (2/00), Scottsdale (1/02), Leipzig (1/02); V. Williams — Hamburg (2/99).

In addition, some of our players won some of these events before they reached Tier II status: Clijsters won Luxembourg 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003; Hingis won Doha 2001; Martinez won Paris 1990; Seles won Doha 2002. In addition, Davenport won Cincinnati 2004 and Chakvetadze won Cincinnati 2007, it is about to be bumped up.

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 Ten, meaning Black, Chan (who, however, has no Tier II or higher titles, so she came back off), Chuang, Huber, Raymond, Santangelo, Srebotnik, Stosur, Stubbs, and Sugiyama — plus Serena Williams as the other active player with the Career Slam (Venus’s record is the same as Serena’s except that she didn’t win Leipzig 2002), Likhovtseva and Ruano Pascual as the top active players,, and Hingis, Suárez and Sanchez-Vicario as the other 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 seven titles at these 30 events — but she has two Wimbledons and two Australian Opens, so she has only five distinct titles. The next line, “To 2000,” lists each player’s titles at all Tier II+ events in the years leading up to 2000 (inclusive). We then show her total for the 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and the grand total. Note that the total may be higher

than the total titles listed, since some players will have titles at no-longer-extant tournaments (e.g. Hingis has 36 total doubles titles, but only 31 show up in the list; she also won Hamburg 1995, 2002, Filderstadt 1997, 2000, Leipzig 1997, Philadelphia 2000 which are no longer played).

We note that Lisa Raymond has the widest range of titles — though it’s largely a matter of winning fast events with Stubbs and slow with Stosur. Serena Williams has the distinction of being the only player in recent times to win all four Slams in both singles and doubles; Navratilova of course did it to, and others before her, but that was pre-Rebound Ace.

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.

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

Recent Singles Winners, Finalists, SemifinalistsThe following list shows every player to have reached a WTA semifinal, with listed result, since the beginning of 1999. Titles shown in Highlight. As a good general rule, the longer a player’s entry, the better she is; the higher the fraction of her entry in Highlight, the better she handles pressure (not even close to the same thing).

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 money gap 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. Slams are in bold coloured type. The year-end championships is also in bold colour as the closest thing to an indoor Slam.

Note: Here as elsewhere, events which do not follow WTA admission rules (Olympics prior to 2004, Fed Cup, Hopman Cup, Grand Slam Cup) are not listed. Since some 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 should they play a full career, 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.

Slam History

Singles Slam WinnersThe following list shows, year by year, who won which Slams, and also shows the Open Era Slam Count for each player. (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 BoldPre-Open Era

1. There was no mixed doubles at the Australian Open from 1969–1986


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 titles2007 Hénin (10) Chakvetadze (4)1, Jankovic (4)

1. Of Chakvetadze’s four titles, only one (Stanford) was a Tier II or higher — historically rare for a player near the top of the title list. Yet note that, in 2007, low-level titles were common for the leaders. Jankovic had two of her four titles at low-level events, and Venus Williams had two of her three titles below the Tier II level.

Ivanovic (3), V. Williams (3)

2006 Hénin-Hardenne (6) Petrova (5), Sharapova (5) Mauresmo (4)2005 Clijsters (9) Davenport (6) Hénin-Hardenne (4),

Mauresmo (4)2004 Davenport (7) Hénin-Hardenne (5),

Mauresmo (5), Sharapova (5)2

2. Of Sharapova’s five titles, three were below the Tier II level; the other two were above the Tier I level. Sharapova, through the end of 2004, had never won a Tier I or Tier II title — which is even stranger than all the footnotes ab9ove and below, though she changed that in 2005

Kuznetsova (3), Molik (3), Myskina (3)

2003 Clijsters (9) Hénin-Hardenne (8) Myskina (4),3 Serena Williams (4)

3. Of Myskina’s four titles, two were below the Tier II level. Compare thi to Clijsters, who 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)4

4. 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)5

5. Like Smashnova 2002, Schnyder had mostly small titles: four of her five were Tier III or lower.

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-present, San

Diego 2004-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, Zürich 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: Zürich 2000

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

Of the top active or recently active players, Serena Williams lacks green clay and carpet; Venus Williams lacks Rebound Ace and carpet; Lindsay Davenport lacks green and red clay; Monica Seles lacks grass and indoor hardcourt, Justine Hénin-Hardenne lacks grass and carpet; Kim Clijsters lacks Rebound Ace, green clay, grass, and carpet; Anastasia Myskina lacks Rebound Ace, DecoTurf, green clay, grass, and indoor hardcourt; and Amélie Mauresmo lacks Rebound Ace, green clay, grass, indoor hardcourt, and carpet.

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.

It is interesting to note that 2007 made relatively little difference in the rankings — Justine Hénin passed Gabriela Sabatini to reach #8, and Venus Williams joins the Top Ten, but that’s it..

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.

The data above can be graphed, showing how the number of titles won by the winningest player has tended to decline over the years, especially on the singles side (it appears the general decline in doubles, and emergence of a number of female doubles specialists, has allowed the doubles number to stay relatively high: There are only a few player left who know how to win in doubles). The graph below shows the number of titles won by both the winningest singles player and the winningest doubles player since 1983.
