Thanks. Very interesting. The record is probably Kournikova's, 23 SF without a title.

Serena has won 13 of 20 SFs in GSs = 65%

Shushu :smash: :sobbing: :facepalm:

I've added "Titles per quarterfinal"-stats in the first post. Active players with at least 20 QF's.

Kim :worship:
Domi and Peng...hmm...

Stosur has 3 titles :shrug:

USO '11 is not included in this yet.

Stosur has 3 titles :shrug:

I know. Like backhandsmash said.
Titles per semifinal 1997-2011 (before US Open 2011!)

Oops. My bad. :oh:

No problem. The reason why the list isn't updated is that these stats were calculated using automated array functions. And the US Open results (and later tournaments like Tashkent or Quebec) are simply not in my database yet. That's why.
