Specifically in my GIANT SLAYERS CLUB on this forum you can only get in SLAYING TOP 5. Players that SLAY World # 1 or World # 2 automatically become VIP monthly calendar girls in my GSC. Currently, there is only 1 Miss October VIP calendar girl for this month as of now. It is Emma Navarro for SLAYING World # 2 Iga Swiatek in Beijing. 💪 LOL

 

Can I have a history for whatever this is called?

 

^ Nah, anyone that knows me already knows about about my GSC. Every results thread in GM whenever there is a SLAYING my signature clip below indicates job well done. 💪

 

After the match Siegemund vs. Andreeva, I went and checked how many top-10 wins does Siegemund have, and it wasn't that spectacular (13-14), considering how long her career was. I went and checked Putintseva and Mertens, very similar numbers.

Of all the active players who were never in the top 15, by far the highest number of top 10 victories was achieved by Sorana Cirstea, 24, and she was never even ranked in the top 20 (CH #21). In the second place it's Donna Vekic with 17, the same as her CH. Are there any other notable giant slayers, and why were they never ranked inside top 15?

Interesting analysis. The ratio for Siegemund is still extremely high. If I understand correctly she is basically at 50% win rate against Top10 ... That's massive. I would expect such a number from a top Top10 player.

 

I didn't explain it properly, sorry. I wasn't sure if the win against Andreeva was already reflected in the stats, so I wrote that Siegemund has 13-14 victories. Her W/L ratio against top-10 opponents is still a respectable 34%.

 

Giorgi has 17 with a CH 26 and at 35.4% win rate stands out among players with more than 12. Siegemund's results are up there for such stats, 13-25 34.2% CH 27.

 

It makes you wonder whether these players have more talent than fitness, where their form really drops late in an event

 

Nosková technically has a CHR outside the Top 15 and has 11 Top 10 wins with a 39.3% win rate versus. Top 10.

 

Lucic had 11, which, given the span of some of her layoffs and inactivity isn't bad. Her last 6 came between 2014-2017, 2 each over Halep, Aga and Pliskova.

 

Cetkovska has 10 Top 10 wins, and her W/L ratio could be around 50%.

Career high #25, zero titles.

 

A little off topic but still a cool stat:

Daria Snigur is 2-0 against top 10 players despite never having been ranked in the top 100

 

I remembered the Halep win, but not the Haddad Maia win. Unfortunately for Snigur, no player currently in the top 10 has a last name beginning with ‘H’ and/or been convicted of doping when she played them. That seems to be a magic recipe for her

 

The name that first came to mind is Amy Frazier, but her CHR was just inside the top 15.

 

She had a positive W/L ratio against Anke Huber (6-2), ASV and Mary Pierce (4-3)

 

Srebotnik! CHR #20, 10 top ten wins.

 

Siniakova has 11 top 10 wins and CHR of #27

 

Bouzkova has 11 top 10 wins and CHR of #24

 

Pironkova (once ranked #31) had a total of 12 top 10 wins.

For comparison Naomi Osaka had her #13 and #14 just recently (2024 and 2025 US Opens).

 

THE Giant Slayer Kaia Kanepi doesnt quite fit the technical requirements with a CHR of 15 but has 16 Top 10 wins including 2 No 1 wins against Wozinacki and Barty

 

So basically no active player comes close to Cirstea & Vekic? 🤔

 

Jana Cepelova is the one who comes to mind. She's beaten three players in the top three (Serena, Simona Halep and Garbine Muguruza), but I don't think she herself has even been in the top 100.

[Edit: I was wrong, she made the top 50 (just)]

Daria Saville has 13 with CH 20

 

^ Nah, too lazy. I don't get paid for doing this. Too invested in my Toronto Blue Jays right now. I usually make updated posts when the SLAYINGS happen after the matches.

VIP Calendar girls you just have to look up who SLAYED the World # 1 and World # 2.

1. Aryna Sabalenka

2. Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek

 

That is what I thought! LOL!

Maybe start tracking the slaying results in 2026 😉

 

Maybe she doesn’t quite qualify for this thread' but Kaja Juvan (CH #58)'s been something of an upset artist. Only 2:5 vs top 10' but 5:7 vs top 20' has wins over Sabalenka' Plišková' both Bencic and Haddad Maia at Wimbledon (the latter coming having gone W-W-SF in grass warmups that year)' and some other good players.. Decent stuff for a sub-top 50 competitor.

 

Putintseva has 13 (edited) top 10 wins and a CHR of #20.

The fact that Cirstea is #1 on this active list has to be some kind of win for femininity, right?

 

Putintseva has 9 top 10 wins and a CHR of #20.

The fact that Cirstea is #1 on this active list has to be some kind of win for femininity, right?

She actually has 13 top-10 victories, and comes third (with Siegemund), after Cirstea and Vekic

 

Well Donna was never really fit to the maximum and during her biggest successes she was always reasonably fit. Soon after she would get injuries or loss of motivation.
She also lacked better mentality to achieve higher ranking.
