I saw there's a new trend that younger sisters of Asian tennis players do not get any kind of success in singles, they stick to doubles and get quite successful. I have three examples:


Su-Wei Hsieh (WTA 65) -> /1993/Shu-Ying Hsieh (849 singles, 236 doubles)
Yung-Jan Chan (WTA 163) -> /1993 born/Hao-Ching Chan (unranked in singles, 71 doubles)
Varatchaya Wongteanchai (WTA 233) -> /1993 born/Varunya Wongteanchai (1081 singles, 311 doubles)

What do you think about it? Just a coincidence or a new trend?

WHo cares?

coincidence. it's not like if they were really good double player either. I mean Chan is the only one in the top 100 and she probably got that high playing wiht her sister.

Anyone who can make it to the top ten in Doubles can make a lot of money.
Vinci and Errani have about 600K each so far this year.

You mostly play in front of the umpire and your coach but you have a lot of free time to discover the world.

Hao-Ching got there by making two WTA finals this year, one with Yung-Jan and one with Rika Fujiwara.

Shut up.


I definitely hope especially Hao Chin will also play singles. But now her doubles ranking is pretty high already it wilk be hard to work the singles ranking

 

[Navratil]

Never heard of any of these "doubles specialists"

 

[Daebak.]

Shu-Ying and Varunya actually try in singles, but they are just more successful in doubles.

Chan is a double specialists i think.
