Recent Active Multiple GS Winners

I would think Serena is the only one likely to make this 8 anytime soon. I do not anticipate Conchita or Iva winning another, nor do I expect any one of Kim, Justine, Jelena, or Amelie to win 2 of the next 4.

To think about that, ATP has only three active multiple Slam-winners with more than one different Slam. In WTA all multi-Slam winners won at least two different Slams. I still try to formalute
how would it translate into comparable depth of two Tours, and I am feeling it difficult to do it..

What is says, ys, is that the ATP doesn't have the "depth" it claims, so much as "specialization".

Yeah, like Guga can only win on one surface

And I DH is right... the only other person who has a realistic chance of making that list is Serena. Some other players might surprise us though

Interesting!

Great points ys and disposable.

To me, it looks like the WTA has a LOT more "depth" than the ATP.

"Depth" isn't just top players being able to be beaten by lower players. Its being able to win on a whole range of different surfaces.

So WHAT was Rios saying again?

He coudl be saying that last 7 Slams in ATP were won by 7 different men. Need I say how many women were involved in winning last 7 Slams? Does it translate into "depth" of ATP? Or should we call it "incosistency"? Or is "inconsistency" a synonym of "depth"? I am confused..

That'd be 'inconsistency' not depth. Surface specialisation is killing the ATP. Guga doesn't seem to care about many non-clay tournaments (even though he CAN play on them if he puts some effort into it - Masters Cup 2000), Sampras shows up at Wimbledon and the US Open and nowhere else each year and hasn't won a non-Wimbledon Slam for five years, the number of clay-courters who can ONLY play on clay is the real joke and about 2 men can play on grass.
