2007 WTA season in numbers

Hi,

after end of 2007 season i'm opened couple stats threads about this season at General Messages subforum. Like we all know, all threads at GM lives about day or two and i have idea to save results of some 2007 researches here at one place. If you also know some interesting statistical thread with results about WTA 2007 season (or find some interesting article about that) - please copy/paste here that!

2007 final ranking list in WTA competition have 30 teenagers (20 y.o. or younger girls)... and this is no more "domination" - this is BIG PROBLEM for womans tennis future:


"Teenager" means a person has yet to turn 20.
13 - thirTEEN
14 - fourTEEN
15 - fifTEEN
16 - sixTEEN
17 - sevenTEEN
18 - eighTEEN
19 - nineTEEN

"Teenager" means a person has yet to turn 20.Key word in that thread is YOUNG PLAYERS (20 y.o. and younger) - yes, once i use term "teenager" for that group of players but i dont see nothing realy wrong in that, especialy because all 1987 girls started 2007 like real (19 y.o.) teenagers. In almost all sports is standard that young athlets is UNDER21 (not under20) and i use that border in my research :shrug: .

My Conclusions:

I think that results of this research is very clean and without confusions or contraversy. Critics of Australian Open new surface (Plexicushion) is not right! Australian Open is not "US Open 2" after this change. It's obviously that speed/bounce characteristics of new surface produce very similar results like previous Rebound Ace. Actualy if you look all this results of crucial stats which i calculate from events official statistics (%Breaks games, %Serve points and %Aces of total points) which is best indications how this surface reflect on players offensive and deffensive game - in comparation to Rebound Ace, this Plexicushion is litle close to Clay not to USO hardcourts! Unfortunately, "winners" category is obviously corrupted and useless (b/c obviously no same criteria about "winners" definition at this 5 events) and also no stats about how long is average rallys at all this tournaments.
