I got a good laugh at people being excited because certain players on the WTA tour reached the top 20. However, there are a lot of vultures in women's tennis who play a lot of smaller events and rise into the top 20.
People complain that the WTA doesn't get the respect from the MEDIA as the ATP but it is for GOOD REASON.
Look at the players ranked number 11 to 20 on the WTA Tour most of them don't deserve to be there.
Only Sloane Stephens, Cibulkova, and maybe Kirilenko are competitive with the top 10. But the rest, Ana Ivanovic is a punching bag for the top they just beat her time and time again and again.
In women's tennis anyone can reach the top 20 by playing a lot of events or having satisfactory results.
Look at Varvara Lepechenko this lady was in the top 20 last year but for what? What did Lepechenko accomplish? She reached the fourth round of the French Open and a bunch of third rounds no big results.
The points system in the WOMEN's TOUR needs to be FIXED. A lot of scrubs are getting into the top 20 that it doesn't mean much anymore.
People like Karla Zakapalova, what big results has this lady have to be top 20? Meanwhile, on the ATP Tour Kei Nishikori a young Japanese player he won an ATP 500 event in Memphis this year and the Japan Open another ATP 500 last year. Nishikori also beat Novak Djokovic in Basel a few yeas ago he's clearly on the up.
Milos Raonic has a 2-1 record against Andy Murray the number 2 ranked player in the world. Raonic has also beaten other top 10 players such as Richard Gasquet, Tomas Berdych, Janko Tipsarevic, and top 20 players such as Marin Cilic.
On the WTA Carla Suarez Navarro is in the top 20,what has this lady done that was extraordinary to get into the top 20? I can't remember Navarro doing anything special to be top 20?
However, on the ATP TOUR now, if a man reaches the top 20 that's something special, it proves A LOT.
Tommy Haas is 34 years old yet he's ranked in the top 20 and he just BEAT Novak Djokovic the number one player in the world.
In women's tennis a player ranked number 14 isn't going to beat Serena Williams.
Men's tennis is so competitive now that to reach the top 20 shows a lot that a guy is playing well, consistent, he's having good wins and he's got some weapons.
I looked over the WTA top 20 list and it is complete joke a lot of these ladies certainly won't make the top 10. And these ladies will not be a factor in the future.
The only real depth in women's tennis it seems is in the top 10 to be honest, and only because the top 3 players are the true elite. In the top 10 there are different levels similar to the ATP Tour. The top 4 in men's tennis are the gold standard they win all the slams and all the big events. Similar to the WTA now which is a good thing.
However, the players ranked 4 to 10 such as Radwanska, Li Na, Stosur, Kvitova, are solid players who can once in a while beat the top 3.
At the bottom of the top 10 is Caroline Wozniacki and I actually think it is great she's ranked 10th because it shows her decline. It was such a disgrace a few years ago this lady being ranked number 1 yet NEVER reaching a slam final while ranked number one. All the Wozniacki fans made a ton of excuses but it showed clearly Wozniacki wasn't the best player in the world but she's a vulture so she racked up the points to be number one.
Now. Wozniacki is in a slump because she refuses to ditch her crazy dad as her coach and become an independent woman. Expect more of the same from Wozniacki she either gets rid of her dad, get serious change her game or continue to have the unsatisfactory results.
