In Britain, it was parliaments with the nicknames: The Addled Parliament, the Parliament of Bats. If the WTA ever adopts the habit of nicknaming its seasons, 2001 will probably be the Year of Chaos. Three different #1 players — and the player that most people felt was the best player of the year was not one of them. A Slam winner who could win only one non-Slam title. Six different Slam finalists. Lesser titles scattered to the winds. What actually happened in 2001? Who really deserved to be #1? Was the best player on hardcourts also the best player on clay? Grass? Indoors? That’s a large part of what this document attempts to analyse. It’s an investigation of the top players (generally the top thirty) and their results. This includes doubles, and there is also an extensive section on WTA history. As for who was #1? — That turned out to be very complicated. People in 2000 complained that Martina Hingis was #1 without winning a Slam title — but Hingis earned it by having the best overall year of any player on the Tour. She wasn’t the best Slam player — but she was so overwhelmingly superior in nonSlams that she properly earned the ranking. There was no such clear result this year, though we again had a #1 player who didn’t win a Slam. Who didn’t even reach a Slam final. Who didn’t even play a match on clay. And yet, Lindsay Davenport was the #1 player by at least some measures other than the WTA’s. In the course of this document, you’ll see about twenty different rankings. They simply don’t agree. Jennifer Capriati, Davenport, and Venus Williams all lead in certain categories and stumble in others — so much that even Hingis and Serena Williams, though is not #1 in any given ranking, passes each of them in one or another measure. If we take what I regard as the three “best” rankings — adjusted winning percentage, surface-balanced divisor, and majors ranking — we still see a three-way split: Davenport was best in the first, Capriati in the second, Venus took top honours in the third. We might put it this way: All three had failings. Davenport didn’t have the Slams or the clay. Capriati didn’t have the titles (only three all told). Venus didn’t have the events (she only played twelve, to seventeen for Capriati and Davenport). So you’ll have to make up your own minds. But this document will give you much of the information you need. And more, because there is more to the WTA Tour than the #1 ranking. Did you know that there were three different players undefeated indoors this year? That every player in the Top Ten won at least three tournaments? That only five players were in the Top Ten at the beginning and end of the year, and only two had the same ranking. It’s all here. I hope you enjoy reading it far more than I enjoyed compiling it....

WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 7 Ranking Fluctuation The table below shows how each of the top players ranked in the course of the year. The tennis season is divided into half-month sections, and players’ rankings listed for the specified days. This is followed by the mean (average), median, and standard deviation (indicating how much a player’s ranking varied in the course of the year. Thus Pierce, with a standard deviation of 52.2, showed the biggest fluctuation in the course of the year, while Davenport, with standard deviations of 0.7, showed the least variation).

Williams 2 Tanasugarn 24 WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 9 Top Players Sorted by Median Ranking This table lists players in order of their median ranking — that is, the ranking they spent as much of the year above as below. This indicates their typical standing in the course of the year. It should be noted that this figure takes 2000 and 2001 results equally into account, since rankings at the beginning of the year were based entirely on 2000 results, while 2001 results were the sole influence by the end of the year.

In the table, Final Rank is a player’s year-end ranking (based on the November 12, 2001 rankings), Player is of course the player, Score is her Best 17 point total, # ofTrn is the number of tournaments she played, Best Rank is her highest ranking during the year 2001, Won/Lost is won/lost record (in the notes to this field, Wi=Withdrawal, WO=walkover. So Davenport, for instance, won 62 matches, lost nine, withdrew from one, and received two walkovers). Note that this figure includes only WTA main draws. Many players will have losses in wins and losses in qualifying and/or Challengers; the highest-ranked of these appears to be Farina Elia. Titles is the list of titles the player won, if any. We list the names (or abbreviations, for top players), then the number in parentheses. So Capriati’s line, e.g., reads AO, Charl, RG (3). This means Capriati won three titles — Australian Open, Charleston, Roland Garros.

Other players, particularly those near the end of the list (e.g. Matevzic, who played her first career main draw matches this year) will also have Challengers, which means that their total events will not add up to their losses plus titles.

played in 2001. For these purposes, any player who spent even one week of 2001 in the Top 25 is included; a handful of others have been listed because we thought they might be in the Top 25, and why delete them now? To explain the data in the table: The numbers in parentheses list, first, the Tier of the tournament, second, how far the player went, and third, the number of wins achieved. This is followed by a list of top players beaten en route, with the player’s rank at the time. For example, the second item in the entry for Daja Bedanova reads Australian Open (Slam, R16/S. Williams [6], 3) — Dementieva (11). This means that Bedanova’s second tournament was the Australian Open. The “Slam” means that it was a Slam; if a Roman numeral is used, it refers to the tier of the event. R16/S. Williams means that Bedanova reached the Round of Sixteen, where she was beaten by Serena Williams, then ranked #6. The 3 indicates that she won three matches prior to that defeat. Players she defeated included Dementieva (then ranked #11). (Note: only wins over Top 35 players are listed.) If a description is in bold, it means the player won the title.

This is fairly typical; they were also among the leaders in past years. The lower-ranked players naturally tended to have weaker schedules, though we note with some astonishment how low are the figures for Hénin and Seles. In Hénin’s case, it’s partly because she was so low-ranked at the start of the year; in Seles’s, it’s because she played so many small events at the end of the year.

There are, of course, many ways of reshaping the ranking data. A typical way would be to use some of the WTA’s earlier ranking systems. Total Points Ranking (1997 Ranking System) This ranking simply adds up the total points from all the tournaments a player played, whether the number of tournaments be 10 (for Serena Williams) or 31 (for Tatiana Panova). It is essentially the system used by the WTA in 1997 (except that there were minor differences in the way points were awarded at events) Total Points Rank 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 Player Davenport Capriati V.

WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 41 If Best 17 and Total Score rankings are almost identical, the same is not true when these systems are compared with the WTA’s 1996 ranking system, Points per Tournament (minimum 14). Here the rankings are completely different. Scores are rounded to the nearest tenth of a point.

But this system has a problem: Players are expected to play at least 17 events — meaning they must play more weak events. The Williams Sisters blatantly ignore this, but all others try to play at least seventeen events. We should, at minimum, adjust the divisor accordingly. So we produce the “modern divisor”: same as the above, but with a minimum divisor of 17, not 14.

It does not, however penalize injured players (e.g. Martinez, Rubin; also Anna Kournikova) nearly as severely as Best 17. We follow this with the calculations based on the past and present ATP systems WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 43 Best 14 The WTA uses the “Best 17” ranking system — totalling the points earned in the seventeen tournaments where one earned the most points. For most of the Nineties, the ATP uses a related ranking system, “Best 14” — the total points earned in one’s best fourteen events. If this system were applied to the WTA, the results would be as follows: Best 14 Rank 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Name Capriati Davenport V.

But the biggest change is at the very top: Capriati overtakes Davenport for the #1 ranking. This hardly seems fair — Capriati and Davenport played the same number of events, and Davenport, the more consistent player, earned more points overall. Shouldn’t she be rewarded for that? This is the ultimate problem with best-however-many rankings: If the number of events is high, they reward players who play a lot; if the number is low; they reward a few big results over day-in-and-day-out consistency. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 44 Slotted Best 18 (ATP Entry Rank) This is the new men’s “ranking” system. I put “ranking” in quotes because of several complications — first, the fact that it has two parts, much too easily confused. And second, there is the discontinuity — top players are expected to play Masters Series events, while lower-ranked players need not. There is no provision for injuries. All in all, it’s a system in need of work. The slotted system counts a player’s results in Slams, Masters Series (the equivalent of the Tier I tournaments on the WTA tour), and a handful of other events. (Note, this is not quite the same as the men’s system, because they only have eight players in their year-end event, and award points differently .) In the table below, “Required Points” refers to points earned in the Required Events (Slams, Tier I) “Optional Points” are what the players earned in their best other events.

WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 45 Total Wins The list below shows how the top 25 fared in terms of wins (I also show losses for balance). The reason this deviates so far from the rankings is that some of these players played large numbers of low-tier (Tier III and Tier IV) tournaments. Since they faced low-level opposition, their wins, quite properly, do not count as much toward the rankings. Others simply were unwilling or unable to play many tournaments. Though their winning percentage was high (witness Seles and Serena Williams), their total wins were relatively low. Where two players have the same number of wins, I list the player with fewer losses first. Note: As elsewhere, this list includes only official tour wins; exhibitions (including Fed Cup) are excluded. Also, walkovers are not calculated as wins or losses. It should be noted, too, that this list is not formally comprehensive — e.g. it omits Su-Wei Hsieh, who had a 2001 record on the order of 35-2 but played mostly satellite events. Only the Top 40 have been examined to compile this list. Finally, observe that the numbers here do not in all cases match those in the section on the Top Eighty.

Venus Williams tops the list, but her percentage is significantly changed by the walkover she granted Serena at Indian Wells. Davenport had both walkovers and withdrawals. Serena had two walkovers, one against Venus and one against Davenport. The rankings in this category are probably right, but the percentages probably don’t mean as much. The lower-than-usual percentages (only one player with a 90% record, and that just barely; even more amazing, only two above 85%) are yet more evidence of how wide-open 2001 was. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 47 Divisor Rankings, No Slam Bonus In terms of strength of field, the Slams are no stronger than the Ericsson or Indian Wells — or even San Diego. But the Slams award double points — at the Ericsson, you earn 260 points for winning the tournament, and 100 points for beating the #1 player, while at a Slam, it’s 520 and 200 points, respectively. The following table calculates divisor rankings if this Slam Bonus (or Slam Bias, as some call it) is eliminated. Rank Player Points Tournaments Score WTA Rank 1 Davenport 4359 17 256.4 1 2 V.

And many of them aren’t even Tier I events; the Tier II tournaments at Sydney, San Diego, and Filderstadt have traditionally been stronger than the average Tier I. Which gives us the basis for another ranking, the “Majors Ranking.” We take the ten best events, and count results only in those events. In 2001, our list is Sydney, Australian Open, Indian Wells, Ericsson, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, San Diego, U. S. Open, Filderstadt, and Munich. (The list does vary from year to year; Philadelphia was stronger than Indian Wells last year, for instance, but this is our 2001 list.) Since all these events are strong, we don’t need quality points. And we don’t care about early losses. We’ll count only semifinals and better: 1 point for a semifinal, 3 for a final, 5 for a win. On the whole WTA Tour, only twelve players earned any Majors points at all. It will be evident that the “Majors Ranking” is not useful as an overall ranking system — but it is a good measure of the accomplishments we might count toward Player of the Year. The list of players with at least one Majors point is as follows (we also show the points earned at each event): Major Rank 1 2 3T 3T 5 6T 6T 8 9 10T 10T 10T WTA Rank 3 2 1 4 6 5 7 10 11 15 35 9 Player V.

Interestingly, we see more players (sixteen) with scores; the rankings were as follows: 1. Hingis (24), 2. Davenport (22), 3. V. Williams (15), 4. Seles (7), 5. Martinez (6), 6T. Mauresmo (5), Pierce (5), 8. S. Williams (4), 9. Kournikova (3), 10T. Dementieva, Sanchez-Vicario (2), 12T. Capriati, Dokic, Frazier, Tauziat, Testud (1). We note with interest that, in 2000, this exactly follows the Top Five in the WTA rankings and gives us nine of the top ten — completely unlike 2001. In 1999, Filderstadt substitutes for the Canadian Open, and we again had sixteen players: 1. Hingis (31), 2. Davenport (23), 3. V. Williams (11), 4. Graf (10), 5. S. Williams (8), 6T. Mauresmo, Pierce (3), 8T. Seles, Tauziat (2), 10T. Coetzer, Huber, Lucic, Sanchez-Vicario, Schett, Stevenson, Testud. This again corresponds well with the Top Five (it probably would have been the Top Five had Graf quit in mid-year and been taken off the rankings). Thus we find 2001 to have been a most exceptional year both in the paucity of players with Major scores and in the lack of correspondence between Major scores and rankings. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 49 Total Round Points Consists of the total round points which a player has earned in tournaments in the last year. Note: All a player’s tournaments are included here, not just her Best 17. In general, a player who does better in this ranking than in the WTA rankings is one who is failing to beat top players, and is attaining ranking by proceeding through easy matches. A player who stands lower in this ranking than the WTA ranking is one who perhaps has bad losses but who also probably has beaten a number of higher-ranked players. We include this because the ATP, in its folly, has ceased to reckon points for quality. Rank Name Total Rnd Pts WTA Rank 1 Davenport 3031 1 2 Capriati 2945 2 3 Hingis 2606 4 4 V.

For players outside the Top Six, it is a good measure of how they stack up against other players, and how likely they are to produce upsets. For the Top Six, it is rather less meaningful, because the different levels of quality point awards for the top players (that is, the fact that a win over #1 is worth much more than a win over #4) obscures their actual results. It will be noted that this list contains several players who are well outside the Top Thirty in the WTA lists (Krasnoroutskaya, Hantuchova; in addition, Rubin and Kournikova fall just below the Top 25), and others who, though in the Top Thirty, still climb dramatically (Bedanova, Suarez).

WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 52 Quality/Round Points Equalized: 2Q+R Per Tournament Calculated by doubling total quality points, adding round points, and dividing the sum by tournaments. The effect of this is to make, very roughly, half of the typical player’s points come from quality and half from round points.

WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 53 Consistency-Rewarded Rankings Logarithmic Points Award The WTA’s Best 18 ranking cares nothing for consistency — your best results count, and nothing else. The old WTA divisor ranking took consistency more into account — but big results (e.g. from Slams) still biased the result. The Consistency-Rewarded Rankings give the greatest reward to consistent players. Under this system, it’s better to make two semifinals than to win one event and lose first round in another (the reverse is true under the WTA rankings, even though reaching two semifinals requires at least as many wins). If good results help, bad results hurt. The method is as follows: One takes the natural log — in mathematical terms, ln() — of each weekly score, takes the arithmetic mean (i.e. divide by the number of events; as with the divisor, we set a minimum of fourteen), then take the antilog, ex or exp(x). Under this system, a player who is absolutely consistent, producing the same score at every event, will get the same score as under the divisor. A less-consistent player will get a lower score — the less consistent, the lower the score. A consistency-punishing ranking is, of course, also possible — but is functionally equivalent to just ranking players according to their single highest score.

WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 54 Worst 14 A simpler, though less accurate, way of measuring consistency is to simply take a player’s worst fourteen results. Instead of paying off on good results at the top, this pays off on a lack of bad results. To keep the playing field level, players who play fewer than fourteen events lose events out of their fourteen until the total is correct. So, for instance, Serena Williams played ten events. That’s four less than fourteen. She therefore loses her four best events for underplaying. We will only list the top fifteen under this system, which we offer mostly for demonstration purposes. (Though we would ask the real question, why is Best 14/Best 17 any better than Worst 14/17? Neither one counts all results!)

So if you play twelve events, we count the middle six, omitting the best three and the worst three. If your number of events is not divisible by four, we adjust appropriately. So, e.g., if you have seventeen events, half of that is 8.5. We take the seven middle events (i. e. #6-#12), and 75% of the two around that (i.e. #5 and #13). Applying this formula, we get the following Top 20: Middle Half Rank Player Score WTA Rank 1 Davenport 2480.0 1 2 Hingis 1764.5 4 3 Capriati 1754.3 2 4 V. Williams 1721.0 3 5 Clijsters 1408.0 5 6 S.

But we should note that she didn’t play a single match on clay, which is her worst surface. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 56 Idealized Ranking Systems Idealized Rankings/Proposal 1: Surface-Modified Divisor (Minimum 16) In examining the various ranking systems used (and not used) by the Tours, one noticed that each has strengths and weaknesses. The current ATP Tour system has the advantage of enforcing surface balance, but it generally ignores smaller tournaments and has no reward for beating top players. The WTA Tour system has the advantage of encouraging players to play regularly (any good result is likely to increase a player’s ranking total) but also encourages overplaying, has no surface balance, and renders losses meaningless. Based on consideration, it seems to me that the following are the key features of an ideal ranking system: 1. Both wins and losses should count. 2. There should be strong rewards for quality; winning a tournament with a weak field should have relatively little value 3. There should be a minimum required number of tournaments, and incentives for playing more than the minimum should be reduced (to prevent injury) but not entirely eliminated 4. Surfaces should be balanced — players should not be allowed to “clean up” by playing more than half their events on a particular surface. 5. The Slam Bias should be reduced relative to the stronger tournaments such as the Ericsson. I’ll outline two proposals. The first is closer to the current WTA system: • The system is point-and-divisor based: You earn a certain number of points, and divide them by a number of tournaments. This is probably not the best mathematical model, but it is (relatively) simple. • The minimum divisor should be 16 (in doubles, perhaps 12). This is larger than the divisor of 14 the WTA used in 1996, but smaller than the Best 18 used from 1998 to 2000 or the Best 17 used in 2001. • The Slam Bonus should be reduced from 2 to 1.5 • Quality points should be multiplied by 1.5 (Note that this, combined with the preceding point, means that quality points at Slams will be multiplied by 2.5.) • The current WTA Round Point table may be retained • There should be a minimum number of events on each surface: Six on hardcourts, three indoors (reduced from four in 2000 because of the shortening of the indoor season), three on clay, one on grass. Additional events may be played on any surface. If, however, you fail to play the minimum on any given surface, your divisor will be adjusted accordingly. Example: A player plays sixteen events, but only two on clay. She was supposed to play three on clay. The difference, one, is added to her divisor; she is treated as if she had played seventeen events. • If one plays beyond the minimum of sixteen, your divisor is reduced by one third of a tournament for each additional tournament played. So, e.g., if you play seventeen tournaments, your divisor is 16.67; if you play 19, it is 18, etc.. The following table shows the result of this calculation for the WTA Top 30. The first column, “Rank,” is the player’s rank under this system. “Player” is the player involved. “# of Tourn” is the number of events the player actually played this year. “Qual Pts, Round Pts, and Slam Pts” are actual quality points, round points, and points earned in Slams. “Penalty Tourns” is the number of extra tournaments assessed for surface imbalance. “Adjusted points” is the calculated points total — equal to round points plus half of quality points minus one fourth of Slam Points. “Adjust. # Tourn” is the adjusted tournaments played — either 16 (if you played only sixteen events) or the number of tournaments plus penalty tournaments minus bonus tournaments. Score is what you get when you divide Adjusted Points by Adjusted # of Tournaments — the whole point of the exercise. WTA Rnk is the player’s WTA rank. And so, without further ado, WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 57 Surface-Modified Divisor (Minimum 16) Ranking Table Rank Player 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Capriati Davenport V.

This turns out to make surprisingly little difference; the Top Four are the same (though we note an effective tie between Hingis and Venus) and the Top Ten only slightly altered: 1. Capriati (293), 2. Davenport (249), 3. V. Williams (229), 4. Hingis (228), 5. Clijsters (165), 6. Mauresmo (163), 7. Hénin (152), 8. S. Williams (150), 9. Dokic (127), 10. Seles (109), and no one else had a score over 100. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 58 Idealized Rankings/Proposal 2 — Adjusted Won/Lost The previous ranking system was based on the current WTA point table. Many of our other proposals have also been based on this. But there is nothing magic about the points system. We could also use a won/lost system. Except — a player who plays weak events may earn a much higher winning percentage than a better player who plays stronger events. Henrieta Nagyova has eight career titles because she plays a lot of Tier IV tournaments. Anna Kournikova has none, in part, because she plays mostly Tier II and up. Kournikova is the better player, but she doesn’t have the titles, or the winning percentage, to prove it. So if we are to base our system on winning percentage, we must somehow adjust for tournament strength. And we also need to account for wins over top players. And we need to encourage players to play more, within reason. We can do all that. To accomplish the first, we simply diddle with the values of wins: If we define a win at a Tier I or Tier II as being “one standard win,” then a win at a Slam might be 1.1 SWs (for this purpose, we’ll count the year-end championship as a Slam), and a win at a Tier III only .8, and a win at a Tier IV or V a mere .6. To account for wins over top players, we assign bonus wins. In our system, a top four player gets you an extra .6 wins. Beating a player ranked #5-#10 is worth .4. Beating #11-#20 gets you .2. And a win over #21#35 is worth .1. To encourage players to play more, we do two things: First, we require you to play sixteen events, and add losses until you do. And second — and this is the key part — we reduce losses exponentially. Instead of calculating raw wins and losses, we take losses to the .8 power. What this means is that if two players have the same winning percentage, but one has played more, the one who has played more will have a slightly higher adjusted winning percentage. Not much — losses still count! But enough to make it worth playing more if it doesn’t drag your results down. Note: We will count withdrawals as losses in this system, but walkovers do not count as wins. We only calculate the Top Thirty, because this ranking is work and would require significant reprogramming by the WTA staff to use as “the” ranking system. The columns in the table are as follows: Rnk: Player’s rank under this system. Player Name: Just what it says. #Trn: The number of tournaments the player played. Slam W, L: Wins and losses in Slams. Tier I/II W, L: Wins and losses in Tier I and Tier II tournaments. Tier III W, L: Wins and losses in Tier III events. Tier IV+ W, L: Wins and losses in Tier IV, V, and Challenger events. Adj. Wins: Adjusted winning total based on the formula abova (i.e. a Slam win counts as 1.1, etc.) Bon Wins: Bonus wins as a result of victories over top players. Pen Loss: Penalty losses assessed for not playing the full 16 events. Tot Wins: Total wins as calculated, i.e. Adjusted wins plus Bonus Wins. Adj Los: Adjusted losses as calculated, i.e. total actual losses plus penalty losses raised to the .8 power. Adj Wi%: Adjusted winning percentage: Tot Wins divided by the quantity total wins plus adj. losses, expressed as a percent. The maximum is of course 100% (possible only if you play at least sixteen events and never lose a match), the minimum 0% And so, without further ado, the actual numbers: WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 59 Rnk Player Name 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 # Slam Trn W L Davenport 17 17 V.

A player who plays mostly “rich” tournaments, such as Slams and Tier I events, will therefore earn more points than a player who has the same number of wins in lesser tournaments. We can control for this by comparing a player’s actual score with the expected results if one wins each level of tournament. For these purposes, we must define values for each of the various tournament types. For this exercise, I have used the following values: • Slam: 870 (520 round points + 350 quality points = 7 rounds * 25 pts/round *2 slam bonus) • Munich Championship: 590 (390 round points + 200 qual points = 4 rounds * 50 pts/round) • 96 draw [Tier I] — Ericsson, Indian Wells: 440 (260 round points + 180 qual points = 6 rounds * 30 pts/round) • 56-Draw Tier I (=Charleston, Berlin, Rome, Canadian Open): 410 (260 round points + 150 qual points = 5 rounds * 30 pts/round) • 28-Draw Tier I (=Pan Pacific, Zurich, Moscow): 388 (260 round points + 128 qual points = 4 rounds * 32 pts/round) • Tier II: 320 (200 round points + 120 qual points = 4 rounds * 30 pts/round) • Tier III: 243 (155 round points + 88 qual points = 4 rounds * 22 pts/round) • Tier IV: 200 (140 round points for Tier IV + 60 qual points = 5 rounds * 12 pts/round) • Tier IV: 130 (80 round points for Tier V + 50 qual points = 5 rounds * 10 pts/round) Note that other point assignments may be used, to favour those who play more higher- or lower-tier tournaments. The above is an approximation, based on the examination of several tournament fields: This is what one could typically expect to earn at such an event. Not all tournament winners would earn this precise amount (Capriati, for instance, earned more for her Slam wins than Venus, because she were able to beat more top players. It is, of course, possible to calculate the maximum number of points a player could earn for any given tournament — but this is actually an unfair gauge, because chances are that a particular player will not play all her highest-round opponents. And this is not under the player’s own control.) Based on these numbers, we can calculate an approximate figure for the number of points a player could have earned based on her schedule. This is the “Possible Points” field. The “Actual Points” is what the player actually earned in these events (note that this does not match a player’s WTA ranking total, because all events count). The column after that, “Percent,” shows the percent of her possible points a player earned. The final column, “average richness,” is simply the possible points divided by the number of tournaments. This shows how strong a player’s schedule is. Venus Williams, for instance, played only twelve tournaments — but they included four Slams, which are obviously “rich.” Serena Williams played few, but very high-tier, events. This gave her the opportunity to earn a lot of points in a relatively small number of tournaments. The key figure, therefore, is “percent” — this is the calculation which shows how well a player lived up to expectations. In this category Venus is the leader, with 65% earned. Which is very good, but a dramatic drop from the 80% she earned last year. Venus is followed by the usual suspects: Davenport, Capriati, Serena, Hingis, and Seles, with only the first three earning as many as half their possible points. On the other hand, we find ten players (Capriati, Clijsters, Davenport, Dokic, Hénin, Hingis, Mauresmo, Seles, Serena, Venus) who earned at least 25% of their possible points — a sharp increase from seven such players last year. The chaos on the Tour is clearly evident in this figure.

For completeness, the Top 27 are shown on the vertical axis, although only the Top 20 can be listed across the top for space reasons. Reading the Table: For space reasons, the names of the Top 20 players have been abbreviated in the column headings. Scores are meant to be read across the rows. So, e.g., if you look down the column headed DAVENPO (i.e. Davenport) and the row labelled Capriati, you will see the notation “1–2” This means that Davenport and Capriati played three times (1+2=3), with Capriati winning one and Davenport two.

(Note that, for the players ranked in the Top Twenty, the total number of opponents they could face is 19.) The final column,% of wins against Top 20, calculates the fraction of a player’s wins earned against the Top Twenty — a measure of the difficulty one faced to earn those wins.

Venus Williams is obviously the best player in these categories, with Davenport second, Serena and Capriati about tied for third, and Hingis rounding out the Top Five. But Venus’s numbers are close to last year’s, and Davenport’s rather worse — and neither comes close to Hingis’s numbers. Hingis played every Top Twenty player, beat all but won, and earned 60% of her 77 wins against Top Twenty players. This is further evidence of the chaos on the Tour in 2001. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 65 Won/Lost Versus the Top Players (Based on Rankings at the Time of the Match) The following table shows each player’s won/lost record against the Top 10, against the Second 10 (#11#20), and against the Top 20 as a whole, based on the rankings at the time. (The next previous table gives statistics based on the final Top 20.) The player with the best record in each category is shown in bold.

Note: This is not the same as the players’ wins over Top 10/Top 20 players, given in the previous table. What is shown here is the player’s record against the women who ended the year in the Top 10/Top 20. At the time of the matches, some of these women will not have been at their final ranks. On the other hand, it could be argued that this is a better measure of success against top players — a player who ends 2000 at #7 (e.g. Hénin) had a better 2000 than a player who began the year at #7 but ended it outside the Top Twenty (Pierce), and a win against the player with the higher final rank should therefore mean more. The player with the best record in each category is shown in bold.

The median quality percentage for the Top 25 is 34.3% (earned by Shaughnessy); the arithmetic mean (average) is also 34.3%. Schett’s 41.6% of points from quality is the leader— but nearly one third of these points come from one win over Venus Williams. Venus herself is second — but the mpst amazing score is posted by Bedanova (nearly 50% of points from quality!), who is not Top 25 but who looks likely to be a huge threat in future years. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 70 Percentage of Points Earned on Each Surface The first four numbers in this table should be fairly self-explanatory. The last columns, RMS, are perhaps less clear. This is an attempt to assess a player’s balance. RMS, for Root Mean Square, measures the player’s distance from the mean. The smaller the RMS value, the more “typical” a player is. For Reference: For the Top 25 as a whole, 45.4% of all points were earned on hardcourts, 22.9% on clay, 10.1% on grass, and 21.5% indoors. (As might be expected, this represents a slight increase in clay points from last year and a significant drop in indoor points.) Note: Due to round-off, some percentages will not add up to 100.

WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 71 Consistency We often speak of a player’s “consistency,” but the term does not really have a clear definition. We can offer some models, however. Standard Deviation of Scores by Tournament One measure of a player’s consistency is the standard deviation of a player’s results over the tournaments she plays. The following list expresses a player’s consistency by dividing the standard deviation of her score by the mean score. In mathematical parlance, if the player’s scores are s1, s2, … sn, then the number given here is given by the formula (shown here in two forms): STDDEV(s1, s2, … sn) -------------------------------MEAN(s1, s2, … sn) σ(s1, s2, … sn) ---------------------µ(s1, s2, … sn) Thus (for the mathematicians out there), this is not actually the standard deviation; it has been normalized by dividing by the mean. Note: This is not a ranking system; it is a measure of consistency. A player who loses in the second round of every tournament is more consistent (consistently bad) than a player who wins half of her tournaments and loses early in the other half — but the player who wins the tournaments will have, and probably deserve, a higher ranking. In the list below, the lower the score, the more consistent the player is. I have not “ranked” the players, lest this be confused with a ranking scheme, but they are listed in order from least to most consistent by the “standard deviation” measure.

The following table shows how many first-round (or, correctly, opening-round) losses each of the top players had, followed by other early-round losses (defined, arbitrarily, as cases where the player earned 55 or fewer points in the tournament; this is based on the 54 points awarded for a first-round loss in the year-end championships). For my convenience, this list is alphabetical. Note: First round losses at the Chase Championships are not included as first-round losses; being worth 54 points (and being suffered at a very high-level event), they have been listed as early losses. Players who lost in the first round at the Chase are marked with an asterisk (so you may transfer the results if you like); those who did not play at the Chase are marked “(x)” Name WTA Rank Tournaments 1R Losses Other Early Losses Bedanova Capriati Clijsters Coetzer Davenport Déchy Dementieva Dokic Farina Elia Frazier Grande Hénin Hingis Huber Kournikova Likhovtseva Maleeva Martinez Mauresmo Montolio Nagyova Pierce Raymond Rubin S.

The table shows the point value of the player’s biggest win, what percentage of her points this represents, what her score would have been without this win, where she would have stood in the rankings without that win, and what the win was. Players who would have retained their rankings even without their biggest wins are marked in italics. Note: A “big win” does not constitute the result that took a player deepest into a tournament, but the result that was worth the most points. In the column labelled “Big Win,” it is assumed that the player won the tournament listed unless this is followed by the round in which the player lost (e.g. “F”=final, “SF”= semifinal, “QF”=Quarterfinal).

WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 83 Number of Significant Results For our purposes, a “significant result” is one which earns a player at least 100 points. The following table shows the number of significant results earned by the Top 25. (The figure in the “100+ Points” column is the number of the player’s tournaments in which she earned 100+ points; similarly in the “200+ Points” column.) The final column shows what percentage of a player’s events earned a significant score (greater than 100 points) Player Name WTA Tournaments Events Earning Events Earning Events Earning % Significant Rank Played 100+ Points 200+ Points 400+ Points Events Davenport Capriati V.

In the lists which follow, quarters are reckoned based on when a tournament ends. So, e.g., Wimbledon began in June but ended in July; its points are counted toward the July total. Players are ranked in order of points per tournament. A player in italics is one with too few tournaments in the quarter for the result to be considered meaningful. In a few places I have listed players outside the Top 10 for the quarter who had a high pertournament score. Note that in a handful of instances these lists include players not in the Top 20.

All told, 21 different players ended in the Top Twelve in at least one quarter. In the list below, I have added up the player’s per-quarter score for each of the four quarters. Lowest is best, i.e. most consistent. Players not in the Top 10 in any given quarter are assigned an arbitrary value of 14. (This means, obviously, that the maximum possible score is 56.) Injuries being what they are, this is a long way from perfect (e.g. Seles didn’t really play in quarter 2, and Venus Williams didn’t play at all in quarter 4), but it may provide an indication.

Martinez played only one tournament (Wimbledon) in the third quarter, Serena only one (Munich) in the fourth, etc. This can produce inflated results. To control that, we recalculate as follows: If a player has no more than two tournaments in the first three quarters, or has only one in the fourth, we average her score with 14 and recalculate. This affects only three players: Davenport (two tournaments in quarter 2), Serena Williams (two in quarter 2, one in quarter 4), and Martinez (one in quarter three). Davenport is not affected; she remains #2. Serena, however, falls from #3 to #5, and Martinez falls to #17. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 87 Slam Results From the standpoint of difficulty, the Slams are overrated. Slam results, e.g., are worth twice as much as the results of Tier I events, even though Tier I events are played in a shorter time against a tougher field (to win the Canadian Open, a player must win five or six matches in seven days, with every opponent probably in the Top Fifty; to win the U. S. Open requires seven matches in no less than twelve days, with probably at least two opponents outside the Top Fifty). Still, they are the events people remember, and so deserve some separate consideration. The following summarizes the top players’ slam results. The column, “Total Opponent Rank” adds up the rankings of one’s opponents. The next column divides this by the number of matches played. The lower this number, the tougher the average opponent was (note: Players ranked outside the Top 100 have been calculated as “100”). It is not properly a scheme for ranking; it simply calculated how tough, overall, the players’ draw was.

However, players do most definitely have preferred surfaces. We may therefore compute “surface rankings.” The following tables show how the Top 25 did on each surface. Some other players have been added when their results warrant it. Results are listed in order of points per tournament on each surface. It is effectively certain that some players outside the Top 25 have exceeded some of the lower Top 25 players on certain surfaces (especially grass). I have noted these where I have been aware of them, but have not checked this for all players.

This seriously biases their results, because Slams are so point-heavy. A player who wins Eastbourne and reaches the Wimbledon semifinal will probably wind up with a lower score than a player who plays only Wimbledon and reaches the semifinal (this happened in 2001: Davenport won Eastbourne and reached the Wimbledon semifinal, while Capriati reached the Wimbledon semifinal without playing any other grass events. Capriati had the better per-event score. Indeed, Capriati outscored Justine Hénin, who reached the Wimbledon final and won ’s-Hertogenbosch!). Yet surely the first player has at least as much right to be considered a top grass player! To attempt to compensate for this, we produce an adjusted grass ranking, setting a minimum divisor of 1.7. This reduces the bias for those who play only Wimbledon, while still making it more important than other grass results.

(Note: Because of the shortness of the grass season, grass scores have been divided in half, rounding up, and a maximum value of 9 has been used. For all other surfaces, a maximum of 16 has been used. Also, the adjusted grass scores have been used) Note that this is not a measure of who is better on all surfaces; it measures who has been an all-surface player this year. (We should note that, while this statistic has had meaning in the past, in both 2000 and 2001 it has been rendered relatively useless by injuries) Players with the maximum score, of 57 have not been listed.

It should be recalled that Serena played exactly one tournament each on grass, clay, and indoors. On grass, we compensated. On clay and indoors, we did not. Had we required the reasonable minimum of three events on each surface (required not just for surface balance but to offset the extra values of the events she played), Serena would have been #6 indoors and below #16 on clay, which would have moved her to a total of 27 and the #8 spot. There is little real question that Capriati is the most balanced player this year, with Clijsters and Venus next. (Compare the figures for points earned on each surface.) WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 109 Tournament Wins by Surface Here are the number of tournaments each player won on the various surfaces. As elsewhere, tournaments are divided into Major (Tier II and up; note that this does not mean “Slam,” which is how some use the term) and Minor (Tier III and below). The final column lists the number of surfaces on which a player won tournaments.

No player had a surface sweep. Venus Williams and Lindsay Davenport and Jelena Dokic won on three surfaces. We could argue, since the surface Dokic missed was grass, that she was the most balanced player. For additional information on results by surface, see the section on Percentage of Points Earned on Each Surface. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 110 Assorted Statistics The Busiest Players on the Tour Total Tour Matches Played by Top Players The following table shows how the Top 25, and certain other busy players, ranked in total matches played. Note that this does not correlate closely with ranking or with tournaments played; Testud is tops because she plays a lot and wins fairly often, Hingis is #4 because she plays moderately often and wins a lot (though she has fallen dramatically — she ended last year with 87, and hit 99 for a time in 2001), and Panova #10 because she doesn’t win much but plays a ton. Note that only WTA main draw and qualifying matches are counted — Nagyova, e.g., played a challenger and won five matches, but these are not included. The final columns show how a player did against her schedule. “Possible matches” is the number of matches the player scheduled (that is, the number she would have played had she won every match leading up to the final. So a Slam would represent seven possible matches, a Tier I between four and seven, depending on the event and whether one is seeded or not, a Tier V would represent five possible matches, etc.) The “% of possible” shows what fraction of these matches the player actually played.

WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 112 The Strongest Tournaments Theoretically, all tournaments of the same tier are of equal difficulty. In reality, it’s not even close. Tournaments like Filderstadt and San Diego are so strong that, in some years, Top Ten players can go unseeded, while Paris and Bahia didn’t feature a single Top Five player. In general, we can assume that all Slams and the Chase Championships are at maximum strength; with minor exceptions, everyone who can play will play. This is not true of Tier I and Tier II tournaments (other than the Ericsson). Unfortunately, there is no simple way of “rating” tournaments; it is not the sort of statistic the WTA calculates. The sections below offer three proposals, each with strengths and weaknesses (weaknesses derived both from the systems themselves and from the fact that they are based on WTA rankings). WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 113 Tournament Strength Based on the Four Top Players Present Proposal #1: This is a two-part ranking, strength and depth. For the strenth, take the total rankings of the top four players present. Add to this the scores of the top two present. (That is, count the top two twice and the #3 and #4 players once.) This gives an indication of just how tough things are when “the going gets tough”: it shows what you can expect to be up against in the semifinal and final rounds. (So, for example, the top four players at Sydney in 2001 were Hingis, ranked #1; Davenport, ranked #2; Seles, ranked #4; and Martinez, ranked #5. So the total “value” of this tournament is 1+1+2+2+4+5=15.) The lower this number (the minimum possible value is 13), the stronger the tournament To calculate the depth, we look at the top three seeds and the bottom three seeds (or, correctly, the top three players and the players whose rankings would entitle them to the last three seeds based on the current rankings). Sum the values for the bottom three, then subtract the sum of the value for the top three, and divide by three (if the tournament has eight seeds) or by six (if it has sixteen seeds). The smaller this number (the minimum is five), the deeper the tournament, as the difference between top and bottom seeds is smallest. Again taking Sydney 2001, the top seeds were ranked 1, 2, and 4; the bottom three seeds were ranked #8, #12, and #14. So the depth of Sydney is defined by [(8+12+14)-(1+2+4)]/3 = (34-7)/3 = 27/3 = 9. Note: For purposes of calculations, only the top sixteen seeds at 32-seed events are counted. Based on the following, we rate the tournaments on the Tour as follows (sorted by strength). Note: Tournaments below Tier II shown in italics.Where two tournaments are of equal difficulty, the list is in calendar order: Tournament Tier Tournament Strength Depth Winner Rank Score Score 1T Slam Australian Open 13 8.0 Capriati 1T I Indian Wells 13 9.5 S.

It starts with tournaments played by the #1 player, and lists the number of other Top Ten players present. Then it lists tournaments headlined by #2, etc. Only tournaments from Tier II up are listed. The difficulty with this system is that a tournament with (say) four Top Ten players headed by the #5 player might be considered stronger than a tournament with only one Top Ten player, but that one player being #2.

The Tournament Strength Index calculates the total quality points available for the top eight seeds, and calculates this as a fraction of the possible quality points if all of the Top Eight played. My modified version uses the same calculation, but counts only Top Ten players. Recall that the #1 player is worth 100 quality points, #2 is worth 75, #3 66, #4 55, #5 50, and players #6-#10 are worth 43. Thus the percentage listed below is the total quality points divided by the sum of the values for the Top Eight, 475.

(It will be observed that seeding is much more accurate at the stronger tournaments.) In the tables which follow, the heading “reached seeded round” refers to the number of seeds who made it to the round in which seeds are expected to face seeds (e.g. the Round of 16 at the Slams, or the quarterfinals at a 28-draw tournament which has only eight seeds). The column “held seed” refers to players who not only reach the seeded round but reach the level expected for their seeding — so, e.g., seeds #5-#8 are expected to reach the quarterfinal; seeds #3 and #4 should reach the semifinal; #2 should reach the final, and #1 should win. If a player goes beyond her seeding, of course, she is regarded as having held her seed.

The following statistics offer perspectives on what a player had to do to earn a title (Tier II or higher). Games Lost in Path to Title The following table assesses the winner’s path to victory by calculating the number of games lost on the way to the title. Since, however, some tournaments have more rounds than others, this is divided by the number of matches played to get games per match. (Note: for these purposes, a tiebreak counts as a game). Note: The lower the number of games per match, the better the player performed.

WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 128 Quality Points Earned The following table assesses the winner’s path to victory by calculating the strength of her opponents, as measured by quality points. Since some tournaments have more rounds than others, this is divided by the number of matches played. (Note: It should be kept in mind that there are more quality points available to lower-ranked players than to higher-ranked players. Martinez, e.g., averaged 35 quality points per match at Berlin, while Hingis managed only 30 the week before at Hamburg. But Martinez’s result is biased by the 100 points she earned with a win over an injured Hingis — she earned over half her quality points in that one match! Hingis had no such opportunity at Hamburg; she was the top seed.)

Has reached at least one Grand Slam semifinal in the last three years. 2. Has, during one of the last three years, defeated at least five Top Ten players during the year. 3. Has, during the last three years, won at least one tournament of Tier II or higher. The following table shows how well current players have done against these goals. The column labelled “Total Achieved” lists the total number of accomplishments met — i.e. it totals Slam semifinals, Tier II or higher titles, and increments of five Top Ten players defeated (i.e. if you beat five Top Ten players in a year, it adds one to your total; beat ten and you add two, etc. Remainders do not carry; if you beat eight in one year and seven in another, that counts as two, not three.) Note: Players below the Top 20 in 2001 were skipped, as none have accomplishments. Others years have been marked “X.” Player 1999 1999 1999 2000 2000 2000 2001 2001 2001 2001 1999– Slam Top 10 Tier II+ Slam Top 10 Tier II+ Slam Top 10 Tier II+ Total 2001 SF Wins Titles SF Wins Titles SF Wins Titles Acc.

The Top 25 have 56,509 of these, or 38.4%, down from 40.0% last year. * Note that the ranking system changed from Best 18 to Best 17 in 2001, taking points “out of the system.” WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 132 The Year of the Injury When the WTA went to the additive (“Best 17”) ranking system, it did so against the wishes of the top players. They didn’t want to have to play the extra tournaments needed to succeed under Best 17. The players appear to have been right. It took a while, but injuries to top players have become routine. 2000 was the first “year of the injury.” The WTA responded by lowering the minimum from Best 18 to Best 17. This, predictably, didn’t help — it didn’t reduce the incentive to overplay, just the reward. The following list attempts to tabulate top players’ injuries in 2001, with their effects. It lists the player, and her assorted injuries, plus the events she missed in consequence (this list necessarily somewhat uncertain, as it is based on past schedules and initial sign-ups) and the effect on her ranking Player Injury Davenport Davenport Davenport Dementieva Dementieva Dokic Hénin Hénin Hénin Hingis Hingis Hingis Huber Huber Kournikova knee wrist knee tendon shoulder exhaustion ankle foot leg back ankle ankle wrist foot foot Martinez Mauresmo Pierce Pierce Pierce Pierce Rubin Rubin Rubin Seles ankle back tendonitis back flu back knee knee knee foot Suarez not announced back+wrist “exhaustion” undisclosed tendonitis knee wrist Testud Williams, S.

Martina Hingis, for instance, played eighteen singles tournaments but only six doubles tournaments. Elena Likhovtseva, by contrast, played 27 singles tournaments — and 26 doubles events.

It’s a much bigger achievement to beat Rennae Stubbs when she plays with Raymond than when she plays with Dokic. As a result, no attempt is made to compile head-to-heads for doubles. Rather, the following lists show the opponents to whom the top doubles teams have lost this year. The first line of each section shows, in bold, the names the doubles team. The number of events played together is in square brackets []. The opponents who beat them, and the event at which this occurred, follows. Note that teams often did not win an event even though they are not shown as having a loss. Williams/Williams, for instance, won only one of their two events — they withdrew from the other.

Because quality points are far less important in doubles (constituting roughly 20% of a player’s total, rather than nearly 40% as in singles), we calculate only the 1996 rankings. Some of these results are slightly approximate.

WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 163 Majors Ranking In the singles section, we defined the ten WTA “Majors” (tournaments effectively all the top players play): Sydney, Australian Open, Indian Wells, Ericsson, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, San Diego, U. S. Open, Filderstadt, and Munich. We can apply the same “majors ranking” in doubles: Five points for a title at these events, three for a final, one for a semifinal. If we do this, we can rank both teams and individuals. We start with the team rankings: Doubles Team Majors Rankings 23 teams managed at least one Major showing.

January 1 — Auckland 1R: Marlene Weingärtner def. Nathalie Déchy (3) 7–6 (7–5), 4–6, 6–0 #87 Weingärtner quickly ruins Déchy’s return from a several-month injury. January 2 — Auckland 1R: Jill Craybas def. Sandrine Testud (1) 6–1, 7–5 #17 Testud sees her return from injury ruined by #145 Craybas, a qualifier. January 3 — Auckland 2R: Allison Bradshaw def. Barbara Schett (2) 7–6 (7–1), 3–6, 6–4 Qualifier Bradshaw upsets Schett in only her second Tour main draw event. January 4 — Gold Coast QF: Meghann Shaughnessy (6) def. Conchita Martinez (1) 6–2, 6–1 #38 Shaughnessy easily polishes off the only Top Ten player in action this week. January 5 — Gold Coast SF: Silvia Farina Elia def. Patty Schnyder (2) 6–2, 6–4 #63 Farina Elia, a former Top Twenty player, finally shows signs of truly recovering her form. January 6 — Gold Coast F: Justine Hénin (8) def. Silvia Farina Elia 7–6 (7–5) 6–4 Hénin’s second career title puts her on the verge of the Top Thirty January 7 — Canberra 1R: Nathalie Déchy (7) def.

Silvija Talaja (8) 6-1 1-0 retired For the second straight year, Talaja cannot complete her opening match at Sydney. January 9 — Sydney 1R Doubles: Hingis/Seles def. Williams/Williams 6–4 3–6 7-6 (7–2) The new team of Hingis/Seles celebrate their partnership with a win. Despite losing, the Williams Sisters finally get a doubles ranking. January 10 — Sydney 2R Doubles: Hingis/Seles def. Davenport/Morariu (3) 7–5 6–3 Sydney 2R: Corina Morariu def. Anna Kournikova (6) 6–2 6–1 Sydney 2R: Amélie Mauresmo def. Amanda Coetzer (7) 7–5 7–5 Sydney 2R: Lisa Raymond def. Jennifer Capriati (8) 2–6 6–3 7–5 Canberra 2R: Justine Hénin def. Magdalena Maleeva (5) 6–2 6–3 Canberra 2R: Ai Sugiyama def. Patty Schnyder (6) 6–0 3–6 7–5 In the wildest day of the year 2001 so far, three Top Fifteen players lose at Sydney, and two Top 25 players lose at Canberra. Meanwhile, Martina Hingis leads Seles to another doubles surprise. January 11 — Sydney QF: Amélie Mauresmo def. Monica Seles (4) 6–4 7–6 (7–5) Sydney QF: Martina Hingis (1) def. Serena Williams (5) 6–4 7–5 Canberra QF: Justine Hénin def. Chanda Rubin (3) 6–2 6–3 Canberra QF: Nathalie Déchy (7) def. Elena Dementieva (2) 2–6 6-4 6-4 The upset plague continues. In addition to the above, all of the top four seeds at Hobart fall on this day. Meanwhile, Martina Hingis beats Serena Williams, making her the first player to beat a Williams Sister in singles and doubles since Lindsay Davenport did it to Venus at the Australian Open 1999. January 12 — Canberra SF: Sandrine Testud (4) def. Mary Pierce (1) 6–2 6–2 Pierce’s inconsistency resurfaces as Testud reaches her first final since the 2000 Pan Pacific January 13 — Sydney F: Martina Hingis (1) def. Lindsay Davenport (2) 6–3 4–6 7–5 Canberra F: Justine Hénin def. Sandrine Testud (4) 6–2 6–2 Hingis starts 2001 with a win over her chief rival, giving her a twelve-match wining streak (counting Hopman Cup), while Hénin extends her winning streak to ten. January 15 — Australian Open 1R: Barbara Schett def. Elena Likhovtseva 4–6 7–6 (7–2) 6–4 Australian Open 1R: Janette Husarova def. Chanda Rubin (11) 6–3 6–0 Qualifier Husarova defeats an injured Rubin while Schett and Likhovtseva wage a contest between the highest-ranked unseeded players. Likhovtseva, by losing, falls out of the Top 25. January 16 — Australian Open 1R: Paola Suarez def. Nathalie Déchy 6–2 6–1 Déchy’s disappointments continue; by winning, Paola Suarez puts herself on the verge of the Top 25. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 181 January 17 — Australian Open 2R: Emmanuelle Gagliardi def. Conchita Martinez (5) 7–5 3–6 8–6 In what might well be the longest match of the year (three hours 23 minutes), Gagliardi knocks out the defending semifinalist. Martinez risks falling to #6 as a result. January 18 — Australian Open 1R: Hingis/Seles def. Raymond/Stubbs (1) 7–6 (7–2) 6–3 Last year’s doubles finalist and new partner Monica Seles polish off last year’s champions in a first round match so tough that it causes Stubbs to protest the seeding mechanism. January 19 — Australian Open 3R: Anna Kournikova (8) def. Barbara Schett 2–6 6–4 6–3 Australian Open 3R: Justine Hénin def. Sandrine Testud (14) 6–2 6–4 Hénin extends her winning streak to thirteen while Kournikova reaches her first Round of Sixteen at a Slam since the 2000 Australian Open, beating her doubles partner in the process. January 20 — Australian Open 3R: Paola Suarez def. Mary Pierce (7) 6–3 6–2 For the second straight year, 1995 champion and 1997 finalist Pierce exits early. The win will put Paola Suarez into the Top 25. January 21 — Australian Open 4R: Monica Seles def. Justine Hénin 4–6 6–4 6–4 Hénin gives Seles a terrific struggle, but still can’t beat a Top Ten player. Her winning streak ends at 13. January 22 — Australian Open 4R: Venus Williams (3) def. Amélie Mauresmo (13) 6–2 3–6 6–3 In the day’s only match involving two seeded players, Venus edges Mauresmo to tie her best-ever Australian showing. January 23 — Australian Open QF: Jennifer Capriati (12) def. Monica Seles (4) 5–7 6–4 6–3 Capriati’s first Top Five win in nearly a decade puts her in her second consecutive Australian Open semifinal. January 24 — Australian Open QF: Venus Williams (3) def. Amanda Coetzer (10) 2–6 6–1 8–6 Australian Open QF: Martina Hingis (1) def. Serena Williams (6) 6–2 3–6 8–6 Two incredible matches decided 8–6 in the third mean that Hingis and Venus — clearly the two best players of 2000 — will once again meet before a final. January 25 — Australian Open SF: Martina Hingis (1) def. Venus Williams (3) 6–1 6–1 Australian Open SF: Jennifer Capriati (12) def. Lindsay Davenport (2) 6–3 6–4 Jennifer Capriati tops the biggest win of her comeback with an even bigger win, reaching her first-ever Slam final. Meanwhile, Hingis beats the two Williams Sisters in the same event — a first for her, and the first time anyone has done it since Steffi Graf at Sydney 1999. Interestingly, the two losers will meet in the doubles final. January 26 — Australian Open F: Williams/Williams def. Davenport/Morariu (7) 6–2 4–6 6–4 In a match noteworthy mostly for Davenport’s poor play, the Williams Sisters complete the career doubles Slam. January 27 — Australian Open F: Jennifer Capriati (12) def. Martina Hingis (1) 6–4 6–3 Hingis’s Slam drought continues as Jennifer Capriati wins her first-ever Grand Slam title. January 30 — Pan Pacific 1R: Lisa Raymond def. Lilia Osterloh 6–1 6–4 Last year, Osterloh defeated Mary Pierce at the Pan Pacific. The loss of these points will probably drop her out of the Top Fifty. January 31 — Pan Pacific 1R Doubles: Srebotnik/Testud def. Davenport/Morariu 6–2 2–6 7–6(7–5) After reaching the Australian Open final, Davenport and Morariu lose to a pickup team. February 1 — Pan Pacific 2R: Ai Sugiyama def. Sandrine Testud (5) 6–4 6–4 Pan Pacific 2R: Shinobu Asagoe def. Amanda Coetzer 6–4 5–7 7–6 (7–5) Testud, last year’s finalist, loses early and drops two places in the rankings, while Asagoe scores her first-ever Top Ten win. February 2 — Pan Pacific QF: Anna Kournikova (3) def. Anne-Gaelle Sidot 7–6 (7–4) 6–2 A day after four of six seeds in action lost, all four surviving seeds win. Kournikova’s is the most significant win, as it moves her from #9 back up to her career-high #8 ranking. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 182 February 3 — Pan Pacific SF: Kournikova/Tulyaganova def. Arendt/Sugiyama (2) 4–6 7–6(7–1) 6–0 On a day when the top two singles seeds reached the final, Kournikova justifies her #3 doubles ranking by beating #1 doubles player Sugiyama and #7 Arendt despite playing with a pickup partner. February 4 — Pan Pacific F: Lindsay Davenport (2) def. Martina Hingis (1) 6–7 (7–4) 6–4 6–2 Davenport wins her first title of 2001 February 6 — Paris 1R: Meghann Shaughnessy def. Sandrine Testud (5) 7–6 (7–4) 4–6 6–3 Testud, for the third year in a row, loses her opening-round match in Paris. February 7 — Paris 2R: Anne Kremer def. Mary Pierce (1) 6–3 6–3 Pierce’s misery in 2001 continues as she loses her opening match to a player ranked #35. Pierce has yet to beat a Top 50 player in 2001. February 8 — Paris 2R: Magdalena Maleeva def. Elena Dementieva (4) 2–6 6–0 6–3 Dementieva’s loss leaves only one seed — #6 Anke Huber — in the top half of the Paris draw. (All seeds made it to the quarterfinal in the bottom half.) Dementieva falls to 3–3 in 2001. February 9 — Paris QF: Amélie Mauresmo (8) def. Anna Kournikova (2) 2–6 7–6 (7–4) 6–1 Kournikova once again blows a match in which she leads, and will fall to #9 in the rankings. February 10 — Paris SF: Amélie Mauresmo (8) def. Nathalie Tauziat (3) 6–2 6–1 The defending champion, the oldest top player on the tour, loses to the youngest of the important French players in an all-French semi. Mauresmo continues to show what she can do when healthy. February 11 — Paris F: Amélie Mauresmo (8) def. Anke Huber (6) 7–6 (7–2) 6–1 Mauresmo wins her third title, and first in over a year. She is the lowest-ranked winner of a Tier II or higher event this year. February 12 — Nice 1R: Meilen Tu def. Amy Frazier (6) 6–2 3–6 6–0 Tu breaks into the Top Fifty for the first time. February 13 — Nice 1R: Magdalena Maleeva def. Patty Schnyder 6-3 5-7 6-3 Schnyder puts up her fourth straight loss as a season of misery continues February 14 — Doha 2R: Adriana Gersi def. Mary Pierce 6–4 5–7 6–0 Nice 2R: Anne Kremer def. Nathalie Tauziat 6–3 6–4 Pierce suffers her third straight loss, her longest streak in years, to a player ranked #77, while Kremer gathers annother French scalp a week after beating Pierce February 15 — Nice 2R: Silvia Farina Elia def. Conchita Martinez (2) 6–2 6–2 Once again Martinez (claiming a leg injury) shows why she usually avoids indoor events. February 16 — Nice QF: Magdalena Maleeva def. Elena Dementieva (4) 6–3 6–3 Maleeva continues to impress indoors, while Dementieva continues to struggle feebly February 17 — Nice SF: Magdalena Maleeva def. Venus Williams (1) 7–6 (10–8) 6–4 Maleeva does it again, while Venus loses her third straight event. February 18 — Nice F: Amélie Mauresmo def. Magdalena Maleeva 6–2 6–0 Mauresmo wins her second tournament in a row, and tenth match in a row, with a flourish. February 19 — Oklahoma City 1R: Sandra Cacic def. Amy Frazier (4) 6–1 3–6 7–6(7–3) Frazier continues to struggle on everything except American hardcourts as she loses to world #129. February 20 — Dubai 2R: Mary Pierce def. Iroda Tulyaganova 7–6 (7–4) 6–4 Pierce struggles against the world #64, but at last wins a match. February 21 — Dubai 2R: Lina Krasnoroutskaya def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario 6–3 5–7 6–3 Sanchez-Vicario’s first match of 2001 ends with a resounding “thud.” February 22 — Dubai QF: Rachel McQuillan def. Mary Pierce 6–3 6–1 Oklahoma City 2R: Daniela Hantuchova def. Amanda Coetzer 7–6 (7–0) 3–6 6–0 Pierce’s misery continues as she loses to a qualifier ranked #111. Or formerly #111; this will move McQuillan to about #68. Amanda Coetzer gets served off the court by #108 Hantuchova. February 23 — Oklahoma City QF: Jennifer Capriati def. Lisa Raymond 6–4 6–3 6–4 Facing her first quality opponent since winning the Australian Open, Capriati struggles but wins. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 183 February 24 — Dubai F: Martina Hingis (1) def. Nathalie Tauziat (3) 6–4 6–4 Hingis wins her third title of 2001, and picks up hardware from her twenty-third different event. February 25 — Oklahoma City F: Monica Seles (1) def. Jennifer Capriati (2) 6–3 5–7 6–2 Seles’s first title since the 2000 clay season ends Capriati’s ten match winning streak. February 26 — Scottsdale 1R: Magui Serna def. Justine Hénin 7–6(7–5) 7–6(7–5) Serna the Giant Killer collects another scalp. February 28 — Acupulco 2R: Mariana Diaz-Oliva def. Sandrine Testud (3) 6-2 ret. Acupulco, having already lost Anna Kournikova to a broken foot, loses the #3 seed to colitis. March 1 — Scottsdale 2R: Tina Pisnik def. Elena Likhovtseva (9) 7–6 (7–5) 1–6 7–6 (7–5) Scottsdale suffers its second upset in a match where the loser wins more games than the winner. March 2 — Scottsdale QF: Meghann Shaughnessy (8) def. Kim Clijsters (5) 6–2 6–4 Shaughnessy continues her gradual rise while Clijsters continues to be inconsistent. March 3 — Scottsdale SF: Meghann Shaughnessy (8) def. Monica Seles (2) 3–6 7–6 (7–5) 6–2 Shaughnessy puts up her best result to date, and produces the upset of the tournament. March 4 — Acupulco F: Amanda Coetzer (1) def. Elena Dementieva (2) 2–6 6–1 6–2 Dementieva fails again to win a title. Maybe there is something about blonde Russians? March 8 — Indian Wells 1R: Sandra Kleinova (Q) def. Daja Bedanova 7–6 (7–3) 3–6 7–6 (8–6) Bedanova loses to a player ranked #110 March 9 — Indian Wells 2R: Elena Bovina (WC) def. Conchita Martinez (5) 6–4 6–4 Indian Wells 2R; Tathiana Garbin def. Monica Seles (4) 7–6 (8–6) 3–6 6–4 Martinez loses to #141, while Seles suffers among the worst losses of her career. (She has what will prove to have been a major foot injury.) March 10 — Indian Wells 2R: Evie Dominikovic (Q) def. Nathalie Tauziat (9) 6–4 4–6 7–5 Few things say more about the problems women have serving and volleying on hardcourts than the fact that a qualifier ranked #99 can defeat world #12 Nathalie Tauziat on a hardcourt. March 11 — Indian Wells 3R: Nathalie Déchy (23) def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (14) 7–6 (11–9) 3–6 6–2 In another wild day, #36 Déchy, back after half a year, beats the world #14, while #25 Lisa Raymond defeats #18 Sandrine Testud, Rachel McQuillan continues her surprising results by beating #24 Meghann Shaughnessy one round after beating #20 Amy Frazier, and in a foretaste of the future, Kim Clijsters beats Justine Hénin 1–6 6–4 6–3 March 12 — Indian Wells R16: Silvia Farina Elia (31) def. Anke Huber (11) 6–3 4–6 6–4 Farina, once a Top Twenty player, shows signs of regaining that form, while the top half of the Indian Wells draw opens up even more. March 13 — Indian Wells QF: Kim Clijsters (14) def. Elena Bovina 6–2 6–2 Bovina’s magic run finally ends as Clijsters reached her first-ever Tier I semifinal. March 14 — Indian Wells QF: Serena Williams (7) def. Lindsay Davenport (2) 6–1 6–2 As Serena moves up from #10 to #7, Lindsay Davenport’s fate falls out of her hands. It’s now entirely up to Venus Williams whether Venus displaces Davenport as the #2 player. March 15 — Indian Wells SF: Kim Clijsters (14) def. Martina Hingis (1) 6–2 2–6 6–1 Indian Wells SF: Serena Williams (7) def. Venus Williams (3), walkover Clijsters puts up the biggest victory of her career as Hingis suffers her worst loss since San Diego 2000; Hingis’s twelve-match winning streak is broken, as is her streak of ten consecutive finals. Meanwhile, Venus gives Serena a walkover into the Indian Wells final, claiming tendonitis. March 16 — Indian Wells Doubles F: Arendt/Sugiyama (1) def. Ruano Pascual/Suarez (2) 6–4 6–4 The doubles team expected to be the best of 2001 finally wins a big event, but they aren’t getting along. March 17 — Indian Wells F: Serena Williams (7) def. Kim Clijsters (14) 4–6 6–4 6–2 Serena’s first title of 2001 comes just where you would expect it: American hardcourts. The real surprise is not the result but the opponent she faced in the final. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 184 March 21 — Ericsson 1R: Elena Bovina def. Ruxandra Dragomir Ilie 6–1 7–6 (7–5) Bovina, the Sensation of Indian Wells, gives newlywed Dragomir Ilie a rather nasty wedding present. March 22 — Ericsson 1R: Ai Sugiyama def. Lina Krasnoroutskaya 7–6 (7–3) 6–0 Krasnoroutskaya, who has rising 59 places in six weeks, keeps qualifying, but this time has the bad luck to run into the #2 unseeded player. March 23 — Ericsson 2R: Boogert/Oremans def. Arendt/Sugiyama 7–5 6–3 Three singles seeds lost this day, notably Magdalena Maleeva (#12) losing to Marta Marrero (the other two who lost, Likhovtseva and Schnyder, were seeded lower and are in long slumps) — but the big surprise was the upset of the #1 doubles seeds. March 24 — Ericsson 2R: Kveta Hrdlickova def. Barbara Schett 6–4 7–5 Inconsistency continues to plague Schett as Hrdlickova finally shows signs of recovering her pre-injuty form. March 25 — Ericsson 3R: Tathiana Garbin def. Justine Hénin (20) 6–3 6–1 Garbin continues her amazing two-week run, not only beating Hénin but doing it easily. She is the only unseeded player in the Ericsson Round of Sixteen. March 26 — Ericsson 4R: Jelena Dokic (21) def. Amanda Coetzer (6) 6–3 7–5 On a day when Venus Williams looked doubtful in her quest for #2 (she barely beat Tathiana Garbin, 7–5 7–6), Dokic knocks off Venus’s potential quarterfinal opponent. It drops Coetzer from #9 to #8, and is Dokic’s best hardcourt result to date. March 27 — Ericsson QF: Martina Hingis (1) def. Anke Huber (10) 7–5 6–0 Hingis comes back from down 5-3 to win the last ten games. March 28 — Ericsson QF: Elena Dementieva (7) def. Lindsay Davenport (2) 6–3 1–0 retired Ericsson QF: Jennifer Capriati (4) def. Serena Williams (5) 6–1 7–6(7–5) First Jennifer Capriati surprised everyone by beating an injured Serena Williams (thereby keeping herself at #5 in the rankings, and holding Serena at #6), then Lindsay Davenport, in an even more stunning surprise, hands the #2 ranking over to Venus Williams. Dementieva moves to a career-high #9. March 29 — Ericsson SF: Venus Williams (3) def. Martina Hingis (1) 6–3 7–6(8–6) Venus Williams cements her new #2 ranking with a win over the defending champion. It probably should have been the final; Hingis and Venus, between them, had won the last four Miami events. March 30 — Ericsson SF: Jennifer Capriati (4) def. Elena Dementieva (7) 6–2 6–0 Dementieva once again fails to win a title, while Capriati finally seems to be prepared to back up her Australian Open win. March 31 — Ericsson F: Venus Williams (3) def. Jennifer Capriati (5) 4–6 6–1 7–6 (7–4) After two sets of terrible tennis and a final set of spectacular if high-risk results, Jennifer Capriati blows eight championship points to give Venus Williams her first title since the 2000 U. S. Open April 1 — Ericsson F: Sanchez-Vicario/Tauziat (3) def. Raymond/Stubbs (2) 6–0 6–4 The road to #1 for Raymond/Stubbs gets derailed by two crafty players just starting out together. April 2 — Porto Qualifying: Ludmila Cervanova def. Patricia Wartusch: 1–6 6–3 6–2 No great significance to this, except that — by pure luck of the draw — Cervanova and Wartusch will play again the next day, as qualifier and lucky loser. Cervanova will win the second meeting also, again in three sets, 6-2 3–6 6–1 April 3 — Boynton Beach $75K: Bethanie Mattek def. Elena Likhovtseva (1) 6–3 1–6 6–2 How bad are things going for Likhovtseva? She’s losing to unranked sixteen-year-olds with poor junior results. This is her fourth loss in a row. Mattek will, however, back it up by winning her next match. April 4 — Boynton Beach $75K: Maja Palaversic def. Tatiana Panova (4) 6–1 6–4 On a day when Porto is rained out, Palaversic, a Lucky Loser ranked #156, ushers the world’s #35 out of Boynton Beach. The strongest Challenger yet this year has lost four of eight seeds in the first rounds. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 185 April 5 — Porto 2R: Lubomira Bacheva def. Chanda Rubin (2) 7–6 (7–3) 6–1 In her first event back from surgery, Rubin is asked to play two matches on clay. She manages to win the first, in three sets, but doesn’t have enough left for the second. April 6 — Porto QF: Magui Serna (3) def. Rita Kuti Kis 3–6 6–4 7–6 (7–5) By winning this match, Serna puts herself in the Top 25 for the first time in two years. April 7 — Boynton Beach $75K: Henrieta Nagyova (2) def. Nathalie Déchy 3–6 6–4 6–1 Nagyova, the Scourge of the Less-than-Tier-III tournaments, reaches another final. A win will put her on the edge of the Top Thirty. April 8 — Porto F: Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (1) def. Magui Serna 6–3 6–1 Sanchez-Vicario picks up her first title since Cairo 1999; Serna earns her first-ever Tour final. April 9 — Estoril 1R: Tathiana Garbin (8) def. Tatiana Poutchek 2–6 6–1 6–2 Garbin, last year’s semifinalist and this year’s sensation, needs three sets to start defending her points. April 10 — Estoril 1R: Denisa Chladkova def. Anke Huber 7–5 3–6 6–2 #65 Chladkova ushers out last year’s champion. April 11 — Amelia Island 2R: Silvia Farina Elia def. Conchita Martinez (2) 6–4 6–1 Estoril 2R: Jana Kandarr def. Magdalena Maleeva (2) 6–3 7–5 In a bad day for second seeds, Silvia Farina Elia extends Conchita Martinez’s loss streak to four, while Magdalena Maleeva again demonstrates why she dislikes clay April 12 — Estoril 2R: Elena Bovina def. Magui Serna (5) 6–3 2–6 6–1 This result, combined with a loss by #4 seed Barbara Schett to Tina Pisnik, means that only #3 seed Justine Hénin and #8 Tathiana Garbin reach the Estoril quarterfinal. And Bovina continues to impress. April 13 — Amelia Island QF: Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (7) def. Martina Hingis (1) 6–2 6–4 A tough draw and continued sloppy play cost #1 Hingis her worst clay loss since she lost to Kournikova in the Berlin quarterfinal in 1998. It is Hingis’s first loss on green clay since 1996. It also ends a fouryear domination over Sanchez-Vicario, who temporarily returns to the Top Ten as a result. April 14 — Amelia Island SF: Amélie Mauresmo (6) def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (7) 6–3 6–2 Sanchez-Vicario’s dream ends as Mauresmo reaches her third straight final. April 15 — Amelia Island F: Amélie Mauresmo (6) def. Amanda Coetzer (4) 6–4 7–5 Mauresmo makes it fourteen matches, and three tournaments, in a row. April 16 — Charleston 1R: Iva Majoli def. Jelena Dokic (13) 6–3 0–6 6–2 Dokic, last year’s quarterfinalist, falls before Majoli in a test of inconsistency. April 17 — Charleston 2R: Conchita Martinez def. Lilia Osterloh 1–6 6–3 6–0 Martinez finally breaks a four-match losing streak. April 18 — Charleston 2R: Elena Likhovtseva def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (5) 6–3 6–4 Sanchez-Vicario’s hot streak comes to an abrupt end as Likhovtseva apparently breaks out of a slump. April 19 — Charleston R16: Amy Frazier (10) def. Mary Pierce (6) 7–5 6–7 (7–1) 6–4 In a match someone had to lose, Mary Pierce out-slumps Amy Frazier. Pierce falls out of the Top Sixteen as a result, and may not be seeded at Roland Garros. April 20 — Charleston QF: Martina Hingis (1) def. Amélie Mauresmo (7) 7–5 6–2 Charleston QF: Marlene Weingärtner def. Amanda Coetzer (4) 6–4 7–6 (7–3) Martina Hingis stops Mauresmo and at last shows hints of getting on track, while Marlene Weingärtner, after years of inconsistency, breaks into the Top Fifty and looks ready to keep going. April 21 — Charleston SF: Jennifer Capriati (2) def. Marlene Weingärtner 6–0 6–2 On a day of incredible dullness, Charleston #1 seed Hingis advances 6–2 6–2 to a final against #2 seed Capriati (who, by winning this match, reaches a career high #4), while at Budapest, #1 seed Maleeva and #2 seed Kremer also reach the final. Not one of the four top-seeded finalists lost a set in the semis. April 22 — Charleston F: Jennifer Capriati (2) def. Martina Hingis (1) 6–0 4–6 6–4 Hingis’s string of slop continues as she fails to earn revenge against Capriati WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 186 May 1 — Hamburg 1R: Andrea Glass def. Magui Serna (8) 6–4 6–3 Serna continues her life-long habit of inconsistency May 2 — Hamburg 2R: Patty Schnyder def. Conchita Martinez (3) 6–3 2–6 6–2 Bol 2R: Fokina/Foretz def. Morariu/Sugiyama (1) 7–5 6–3 Is Martinez going away, or is Schnyder finally coming back? For Morariu, this is the last doubles match of her year, and perhaps of her life; she is not feeling well, and will have to withdraw from her singles match at Berlin. It will later be diagnosed as leukemia. May 3 — Hamburg 2R: Jelena Dokic def. Magdalena Maleeva (5) 6–1 6–1 When a player brought up on clay meets a player who prefers indoors, the results often aren’t pretty. May 4 — Hamburg QF: Jelena Dokic def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (4) 3–6 7–6(7–5) 6–2 Dokic continues her surge with a win over a true clay great. May 5 — Hamburg SF: Meghann Shaughnessy (7) def. Amanda Coetzer (2) 6–3 6–4 Meghann Shaughnessy gives more evidence that she has truly arrived. May 6 — Hamburg F: Venus Williams (1) def. Meghann Shaughnessy (7) 6–3 6–0 Bol F: Angeles Montolio (3) def. Mariana Diaz-Oliva 3–6 6–2 6–4 Venus breezes through an easy draw, while Montolio wins her second career title and Diaz-Oliva makes her first final. May 7 — Berlin 1R: Justine Hénin def. Joanette Kruger 4–6 6–2 6–2 Kruger, last year’s semifinalist, crashes and burns, while Hénin makes a try for a Roland Garros seed. May 8 — Berlin 1R: Anne Kremer def. Kim Clijsters (10) 6–2 6–1 Clijsters continues a record of failure on clay. May 9 — Berlin 2R: Paola Suarez def. Magdalena Maleeva (9) 6-4 6-1 A strong-looking Suarez knocks off a seed and now gets a chance at a slumping Conchita Martinez May 10 — Berlin 3R: Justine Hénin (13) def. Venus Williams (2) 6–1 6–4 The clay bug bites Venus again, as she suffers her third, and perhaps worst, loss of the year. Her chances of earning the #1 ranking at Roland Garros are now much poorer. May 11 — Berlin QF: Jennifer Capriati (3) def. Conchita Martinez (7) 2–6 6–3 6–4 Capriati comes back from two breaks down in the final set to boot Martinez out of the Top 10. May 12 — Berlin SF: Amélie Mauresmo (4) def. Martina Hingis (1) 3–6 6–0 6-4 Hingis’s futility streak continues as Mauresmo ties her career high of #6. May 13 — Berlin F: Amélie Mauresmo (4) def. Jennifer Capriati (3) 6–4 2–6 6–3 Mauresmo wins her Tour-leading fourth title of the year and strengthens her #6 position. May 15 — Rome 1R: Nadia Petrova def. Mary Pierce (10) 6–2 6–4 Pierce continues to stumble her way out of the Top Twenty May 16 — Rome 2R: Rita Kuti Kis def. Jennifer Capriati (2) 1–6 6–2 7–6(7–5) On a day when four of the eight top seeds lose their opening matches, the loss by Jennifer Capriati is most stunning. May 17 — Rome R16: Amélie Mauresmo def. Daniela Hantuchova 6–2 3–6 6–3 Mauresmo survives a scare but keeps on the winning track. May 18 — Rome QF: Martina Hingis (1) def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (7) 6–3 6–1 For one day, the world looks normal again… May 19 — Rome SF: Amélie Mauresmo (4) def. Martina Hingis (1) 6–4 7–6(7–5) …but “normalcy” fails to last as Mauresmo continues her dominant year. May 20 — Rome F: Jelena Dokic (14) def. Amélie Mauresmo (4) 7–6(7–3) 6–1 Dokic’s first career title is a famous Tier I; she ends Mauresmo’s string at nine wins May 21 — Madrid 1R: Kristina Brandi def. Amy Frazier (4) 4–6 6–2 7–5 Frazier and clay just don’t mix. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 187 May 22 — Madrid 1R: Sandrine Testud (3) def. Gala Leon Garcia (35) 2–6 6–3 6–0 Strasbourg 1R: Anna Smashnova def. Silvija Talaja 6–2 6–4 Strasbourg 1R: Iroda Tulyaganova def. Mary Pierce (3) 3–6 6–3 6–1 In one day, both defending champions and the Roland Garros champ crash and burn. May 23 — Madrid 2R: Rossana de los Rios def. Monica Seles 7–5 2–6 6–4 Seles’s return from injury hits a train wreck; after one match, she’s back on the disabled list. May 24 — Strasbourg QF: Nathalie Tauziat (2) def. Meghann Shaughnessy (5) 5–7 7–6(7–5) 7–5 Tauziat gives herself a shot at the Top Ten with a win over one of the hottest players of the year. May 25 — Strasbourg SF: Silvia Farina Elia (8) def. Nathalie Tauziat (2) 3–6 6–4 6–0 Farina Elia gets another shot at a final. Can she do something with it this time? May 26 — Strasbourg F: Silvia Farina Elia (8) def. Anke Huber (4) 7–5 0–6 6–4 Farina Elia wins her first title — at age 29! — after seven failed attempts May 28 — Roland Garros 1R: Barbara Schett def. Venus Williams (2) 6–4 6–4 Roland Garros 1R: Jana Kandarr def. Amélie Mauresmo (5) 7–5 7–5 On the first day of the French Open, four of the eight seeds in action, including the top two, lose. This ends Venus’s chances of becoming #1 before fall (and probably for the whole year), and sets Mauresmo back nearly as far. May 29 — Roland Garros 1R: Serena Williams (6) def. Sarah Pitkowski 6–2 6–7(7–4) 6–1 It took two years, but finally Serena wins a clay match. May 30 — Roland Garros 2R: Henrieta Nagyova def. Elena Dementieva (7) 7–5 7–5 With this, all four top seeds are out of the bottom half of the draw. May 31 — Roland Garros 2R: Amy Frazier def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (11) 1-6 6-3 6-4 For only the second time in her career, and the first since 1990, Sanchez-Vicario loses before the quarterfinal at Roland Garros. She also drops from #8 to #15 or lower. The fact that the loss is to Frazier just makes it more amazing. June 1 — Roland Garros 3R: Petra Mandula def. Jelena Dokic (15) 3–6 6–4 6–2 A qualifier ranked #131 stops Dokic’s winning streak at 8. June 2 — Roland Garros 3R: Cara Black def. Conchita Martinez (8) 3-6 6-3 6-4 Last year’s finalist Martinez suffers her earliest-ever Roland Garros loss and falls out of the Top Twenty. June 3 — Roland Garros 4R: Kim Clijsters (14) def. Henrieta Nagyova 6–4 4–6 6–3 In the only really close match of the fourth round, Clijsters reaches her first Slam quarterfinal and breaks into the Top Ten. June 4 — Roland Garros DOUBLES 3R: Po Messerli/Tauziat (4) def. Capriati/Sugiyama (14) 7-6(7-4) 6-7(5-7) 6-4 Will a tough doubles match take enough out of Capriati to hurt her in singles? June 5 — Roland Garros QF: Jennifer Capriati (4) def. Serena Williams (6) 6–2 5–7 6–2 In the only quarterfinal involving two seeded players, Capriati overcomes errors to reach her second straight Slam semifinal. Serena still hasn’t made it past a clay quarterfinal. June 7 — Roland Garros SF: Jennifer Capriati (4) def. Martina Hingis (1) 6–3 6–4 Capriati prepares to pass Hingis in points earned this year as Hingis again stinks up the court. June 8 — Roland Garros DOUBLES SF: Dokic/Martinez (16) def. Raymond/Stubbs (1) 7–5, 6–2 The de facto #1 doubles team shows its (lack of) feet of clay. June 9 — Roland Garros F: Jennifer Capriati (4) d. Kim Clijsters (12) 1–6 6–4 12–10 Capriati makes it two Slams in a row in an error-filled but dramatic final. Now why can’t she win the smaller tournaments? It will be her last title of the year. June 10 — Roland Garros DOUBLES F: Ruano Pascual/Suarez (2) def. Dokic/Martinez (16) 6–2 6–1 Last year’s finalists win their first Slam together. Fourteen different women have now won doubles Slams in the past three years. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 188 June 11 — Birmingham 1R: Daniela Hantuchova def. Nathalie Déchy (14) 4-6 6-4 6-3 Four of five seeds in action this day are upset, with this being perhaps the biggest surprise. June 12 — Birmingham 2R: Virginie Razzano def. Ai Sugiyama (8) 6–2 6–4 Sugiyama has been struggling all year. Grass evidently isn’t the solution to the problem. June 13 — Birmingham 2R: Alicia Molik def. Jelena Dokic (2) 4–6 6–3 6–3 Dokic loses her second match straight to a player who might have a grudge (Molik is Australian, and Dokic used to be). Dokic’s grass form doesn’t look good going into Wimbledon.... June 14 — Birmingham 3R: Kristina Brandi (12) def. Tamarine Tanasugarn (5) 6–2 7–5 Last year’s finalist continues a slump and falls out of the Top Thirty. June 15 — Tashkent QF: Cristina Torrens Valero (7) def. Iroda Tulyaganova (3) 7–5 6–1 Tashkent loses its defending champion (who will fall out of the Top Sixty); all of the top five seeds are now out of the event. June 17 — Birmingham SF: Nathalie Tauziat (1) def. Lisa Raymond (4) 6–0 7–6(7–5) Forced by rain to play two matches in one day, Tauziat still wins both, avenges a loss here last year, and positions herself for a return to the Top Ten if she can win the final. June 18 — Birmingham F: Nathalie Tauziat (1) def. Miriam Oremans 6–3 7–5 Tauziat wins her third career grass title, and her first title of 2001, as she at last gets to play on a surface suitable for her game. This will turn out to be the last singles title of Tauziat’s career. June 19 — ’s-Hertogenbosch 1R: Iroda Tulyaganova def. Elena Dementieva (3) 7–5 6–3 Eastbourne 2R: Lindsay Davenport (1) def. Anne-Gaëlle Sidot 6–2 6–2 Eastbourne 2R: Magui Serna def. Magdalena Maleeva (4) 7–5 6–2 As Davenport returns to the court after three months, and Dementieva shows poor grass form, Magui Serna beats her second straight player ranked above her and perhaps prepares to reach a career high. June 20 — Eastbourne 2R: Tamarine Tanasugarn def. Nathalie Tauziat (2) 6–7(7–1) 7–6(8–6) 6–3 Easy come, easy go. Two days after winning the Birmingham title, Tauziat loses her opening match. June 21 — Eastbourne QF: Magui Serna def. Meghann Shaughnessy (7) 6–1 7–6(7–3) Serna continues her strong run by beating her second straight seed, and the third straight player ranked above her. She assures that Eastbourne will have an unseeded finalist. June 22 — Eastbourne SF: Lindsay Davenport (1) def. Chanda Rubin 6–1 6–1 For the first time in this tournament, Davenport really looks like she is back and in form. June 23 — Eastbourne F: Lindsay Davenport def. Magui Serna 6–2 6–0 Davenport makes a triumphant return from injury and a good Wimbledon preparation. June 25 — Wimbledon 1R: Virginia Ruano Pascual def. Martina Hingis (1) 6–4 6–2 If Hingis hasn’t hit bottom, one hates even to think what comes next. June 26 — Wimbledon 1R: Nadia Petrova def. Magui Serna (23) 6–3 2–6 6–2 Three days after reaching the Eastbourne final, 2000 Wimbledon quarterfinalist Magui Serna drops out of the Top 25. June 27, 2001 — Wimbledon 2R: Lilia Osterloh def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (13) 7–5(7–4) 7–5 For the first time since 1990, Sanchez-Vicario has lost before the third round in consecutive Slams. June 28, 2001 — Wimbledon 2R: Amélie Mauresmo (6) def. Eleni Daniilidou (Q) 6–3 6–2 Could Mauresmo at last be ready to truly use her grass potential? June 29, 2001 — Wimbledon 3R: Justine Hénin (8) def. Lisa Raymond (27) 6–4 7–6(8–6) In what will probably be the deciding match of the top quarter, Justine Hénin reaches another Slam fourth round. June 30, 2001 — Wimbledon 3R: Tamarine Tanasugarn (31) def. Amélie Mauresmo (6) 6–4 6–4 Not really unexpected, this being grass, but Mauresmo becomes the second top eight seed to fall. July 2, 2001 — Wimbledon 4R: Lindsay Davenport (3) def. Jelena Dokic (14) 7–5 6–4 Finally confronted with a tough Wimbledon draw, Dokic fails to defend her semifinalist points and falls out of the Top Twenty. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 189 July 3, 2001 — Wimbledon QF: Jennifer Capriati (4) def. Serena Williams (5) 6–7(7–4) 7–5 6–3 Serena Williams was up a set and a break, but couldn’t keep it up in the face of an upset stomach. After the match, she pulled out of doubles. July 5, 2001 — Wimbledon SF: Justine Hénin (8) def. Jennifer Capriati (4) 2–6 6–4 6–2 Capriati’s Slam streak ends at nineteen matches as Hénin reaches her first Slam final. July 8, 2001 — Wimbledon F: Venus Williams (2) def. Justine Hénin (8) 6–1 3–6 6–0 It took a day’s rain delay and a lot of rescheduling, but Venus wins her third Slam. July 9, 2001 — Vienna 1R: Anna Smashnova def. Henrieta Nagyova (6) 6–4 5–7 6–2 Nagyova continues to have trouble with strong tournaments and weak players. July 10, 2001 — Palermo 1R: Magui Serna (1) def. Klara Koukalova 6-3 3-6 6-2 Is Serna struggling, or is Koukalova continuing to improve? July 11, 2001 — Vienna 1R: Maja Palaversic def. Daniela Hantuchova 6-4 6-3 Palaversic wins her first Main Draw match of 2001, and likely reaches a career high, shocking the Wimbledon mixed doubles winner July 12, 2001 — Vienna 2R: Iroda Tulyaganova def. Elena Dementieva (1) 6–4 0–6 7–6(7–3) Vienna 2R: Jelena Kostanic (Q) def. Jelena Dokic (2) 1–6 7–7(7–3) 6–0 The top two Vienna seeds both lose their opening matches and their opportunities: Dementieva to get back into the Top Ten, and Dokic to get back into the Top Twenty. July 13, 2001 — Vienna QF: Paola Suarez (5) def. Barbara Schett (4) 7–6(8-6) 4–6 6–3 Schett’s quest for a spot in the Top Twenty, and a defence of her title, comes to an abrupt end. July 14, 2001 — Vienna SF: Iroda Tulyaganova def. Paola Suarez (5) 6–0 7–5 Tulyaganova continues her rise with a win over the player who had looked like the clear favorite. July 15, 2001 — Vienna F: Iroda Tulyaganova def. Patty Schnyder (8) 6–3 6–2 Tulyaganova proves that her results at small events are no fluke. July 16, 2001 — Knokke-Heist 1R: Denisa Chladkova def. Jelena Dokic (3) 6–4 6–2 Dokic’s losing streak runs to three matches. July 17, 2001 — Knokke-Heist 1R: Cristina Torrens Valero def. Mariana Diaz-Oliva (8) 6–2 6–0 Torrens Valero continues her clay hot streak with an upset of the #8 seed. July 19, 2001 — Knokke-Heist 2R; Rossana de los Rios def. Silvia Farina Elia (2) 6–3 6–1 Farina Elia won’t be making the Top Fifteen this week after all.... July 20, 2001 — Knokke-Heist QF: Iroda Tulyaganova def. Angeles Montolio (30) 6–2 6–4 Tulyaganova’s winning streak reaches eight straight. July 21, 2001 — Knokke-Heist SF: Iroda Tulyaganova def. Kim Clijsters (1) 6–0 6–4 Clijsters continues to sputter as Tulyaganova wins her ninth straight. July 22, 2001 — Knokke-Heist F: Iroda Tulyaganova def. Gala Leon Garcia 6–2 6–3 Tulyaganova makes it ten in a row (the only ten-match clay streak of the year), and two titles in a row, and breaks into the Top 25. July 23, 2001 — Stanford 1R: Sandra Cacic def. Anne Kremer (8) 6–4 5-7- 7–6(8–6) With the tournament barely started, already one seed is out. July 24, 2001 —sasablanca 1R: Zsofia Gubacsi def. Marta Marrero (2) 5–6 7–6(8–6) 6–0 On a day when five seeds fell at Casablanca, no upset was as surprising as this. July 25, 2001 — Stanford 2R: Monica Seles (4) def. Meilan Tu 7–6(7–2) 6–2 In a second try at a comeback, Monica Seles at last scores a win. July 26, 2001 — Stanford 2R: Jana Kandarr def. Amy Frazier (6) 7–5 6–7(7–3) 6–3 Frazier’s hardcourt record looks to be in deep trouble.... July 27, 2001 — Stanford QF: Meghann Shaughnessy (5) def. Venus Williams (1) 2–6 7–5 7–6(7–4) Venus not only fails to defend her title but also gives up the #2 ranking. July 28, 2001 — Stanford SF: Lindsay Davenport (2) def. Monica Seles (4) 6–4 6–2 No great surprise that Seles, just off a long injury, still can’t deal with Davenport WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 190 July 29, 2001 — Stanford F: Kim Clijsters (3) def. Lindsay Davenport (2) 6–4 6–7(5–7) 6–1 Clijsters finally wins a final. July 30, 2001 — San Diego DOUBLES 1R: Hingis/Kournikova (1) def. L. Huber/Montalvo 6–1 6–1 They’re baaaack.... July 31, 2001 — San Diego 2R: Nicole Pratt def. Anna Kournikova (1) 6–7(1-7) 6–1 6–3 Well, Kournikova isn’t all the way back; she loses her first match and drops to about #20. And, as it turns out, she’s still hurting and will be out for several more weeks. August 1, 2001 — San Diego 2R: Ai Sugiyama def. Kim Clijsters (5) 6–3 6–3 Maybe that celebration after winning Stanford was premature.... August 2, 2001 — San Diego 3R: Lindsay Davenport (4) def. Barbara Schett (16) 6–1 7–5 Davenport takes back the #3 ranking from Venus Williams, who just a week ago was #2.... August 3, 2001 — San Diego QF: Monica Seles (7) def. Jennifer Capriati (2) 6–3 6–3 Is Seles back — or is Capriati again showing why she isn’t a true #1 player? August 4, 2001 — San Diego SF: Monica Seles (7) def. Martina Hingis (1) 6–3 6–4 On examination, it appears the answer to the previous question is, “Seles is back.” August 5, 2001 — San Diego F: Venus Williams (2) def. Monica Seles (7) 6–2 6–3 Venus is just too strong. August 6, 2001 — Los Angeles 2R: Virginie Razzano def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (9) 3–6 6–1 6–4 Sanchez-Vicario’s skid hits three, and her chances of ending in the Top Twenty get even worse. August 7, 2001 — Los Angeles 2R: Nicole Pratt def. Iroda Tulyaganova (14) 6–4 6–1 Tulyaganova balances a ten-match winning streak on clay with two straight hardcourt losses. August 8, 2001 — Los Angeles 3R: Martina Hingis (1) def. Elena Likhovtseva (15) 6–0 6–3 At last Hingis beats a good player efficiently. Can she keep it up? August 9, 2001 — Los Angeles 3R: Nathalie Tauziat (5) def. Jelena Dokic (11) 6–0 0–6 6–2 Dokic continues to have problems on hardcourts. To put it mildly. August 10, 2001 — Los Angeles QF: Nathalie Tauziat (5) def. Kim Clijsters (3) 6–4 6–2 Los Angeles QF: Monica Seles (6) def. Serena Williams (4) 6–2 3–6 7–6(7–2) Tauziat and Seles both continue their amazing surges, while Serena drops to #10. August 11, 2001 — Los Angeles SF: Monica Seles (6) def. Martina Hingis (1) 6–3 1–6 6–4 Seles’s resurrection continues as she beats an injured Hingis. August 12, 2001 — Los Angeles F: Lindsay Davenport (2) def. Monica Seles (6) 6–3 7–5 Davenport regains the #2 ranking, though it will likely last for only one week. August 13, 2001 — Canadian Open 1R: Amy Frazier def. Anne Kremer 6–2 6–3 Two defending quarterfinalists with their rankings on the line. It was big, but it wasn’t pretty. August 14, 2001 — Canadian Open 1R: Marlene Weingärtner def. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (12) 3–6 6–1 6–4 Sanchez-Vicario drops out of the Top Twenty for the first time in thirteen years. August 15, 2001 — Canadian Open 2R: Daja Bedanova def. Magdalena Maleeva (8) 6–4 7–6(7–2) Bedanova continues her resurgence as Maleeva falls to #15. August 16, 2001 — Canadian Open 3R: Anke Huber (13) def. Amélie Mauresmo (3) 6–3 6–3 And it wasn’t even close. Mark this down as perhaps the last Top Ten win of Huber’s career. August 17, 2001 — Canadian Open 3R; Jennifer Capriati (1) def. Wynne Prakusya (Q) 7–6(7–2) 6–2 Capriati will play and win two matches this day, and this is the weaker opponent, but this is the match to give her back the #2 ranking and the #2 U. S. Open seed. August 18, 2001 — Canadian Open SF: Jennifer Capriati (1) def. Anke Huber (14) 6–3 3–6 6–3 Huber just fails in her quest to earn the #16 U. S. Open seed.

Magdalena Maleeva (15) 6–3 3–6 6–3 Maleeva was in great form in the spring indoor season. Will she find it again before the fall season? August 31, 2001 — U. S. Open 3R: Daja Bedanova def. Meghann Shaughnessy (12) 6–4 6–1 Although ten seeds, and three Top Sixteen seeds, lost in the first two rounds, this was the first real surprise of the tournament. September 1, 2001 — U. S.

Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario (3) 6–3 6–2 Sanchez-Vicario’s year of horrors continues as she loses to the world #93. September 14, 2001 — Bahia SF: Monica Seles (1) def.

Cristina Torrens Valero (8) 6–1 6–2 When a Japanese hardcourt player meets a low-seeded clay player on a Japanese hardcourt, the result is predictable.

Angeles Montolio 6–7(2–7) 6-3 6-4 A near miss against the #2 seed still moves Montolio to a career-high ranking.

Anna Kournikova (9) 6–4 3–6 6–3 Dokic had played ten straight weeks to hit try to hit the Top Ten, and — perhaps because she tried so hard — failed.

Tamarine Tanasugarn (2) 2–6 7–5 6–2 The Wimbledon junior champion scores her first big Tour win. September 29, 2001 — Bali SF: Joanette Kruger (8) def.

Magdalena Maleeva (6) 6–1 6–1 Bali F: Angelique Widjaja (WC) def. Joanette Kruger (8) 7–6(7–2) 7–6(7–4) On the day that Clijsters posts her first-ever title defense, Widjaja posts her first WTA title in her first WTA event. October 1, 2001 — Moscow 1R DOUBLES: Hingis/Kournikova (2) def. Koukalova/Vaskova 6–0 6–3 Can Hingis pull Kournikova out of her slump, or vice versa? October 2, 2001 — Moscow 1R: Galina Fokina def. Anna Kournikova 6–2 1–6 6–2 Kournikova is obviously back in her usual post-injury form. October 3, 2001 — Moscow 2R: Francesca Schiavone def. Nathalie Tauziat (4) 6–4 5–7 7–5 Tauziat’s loss will drop her out of the Top Ten unless Jelena Dokic loses to a wildcard ranked #258.

October 10, 2001 — Filderstadt 1R DOUBLES: Hingis/Kournikova (3) def. Navratilova/Sanchez-Vicario 6–3 6–4 Young Martina beats Old Martina — but what if they played the same side of the net?

WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 196 WTA Tour History Who Won What Summary — Singles The following list shows all active Tier II or higher titles and lists which of the top players have won them.

Delray Beach: Boca Raton until 1992 WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 200 Who Won What Part 3: 1986–1989 Order of events is (approximately) as in 1989. A major change in Tier schedule occurred between 1987 and 1988, with very many $150,000 events upgrading in the interim. In 1987, $150,000 was the equivalent of Tier II; in 1988, it was not. I have listed as Tier II events only those $150,000 events which upgraded in 1988 — but marked them in italics for 1987 (not previously). This list is cut off as of 1986/1987 because the Tour shifted to a Calendar Year system in 1986. Note that this resulted in many events not being played in 1986.

Partial year; see note on 1985–1986. 2. Until 1986, the Tour used a “tournament year” stretching from roughly March to March. In 1986, it switched to a calendar year form, explaining why many events are omitted (but not shown as unplayed) in 1986 3. The 1984/1985 season was 13 months long, including March 1985 and March 1986. One tournament — Dallas — was therefore played twice in that year, and not at all in the 1983/1984 season. 4. Reduced to a $50,000 tournament in 1985, coupled with a “4-woman special” won by Evert 5. Marco Island in 1986, with reduced prize money and an earlier date 6. The Italian Open was “in exile” 1980-1985, held in Taranto (with a $50,000 prize) in 1985, and in Perugia in 1984 and before (with a more normal $150,000 prize). It was not held in 1986 (not unusual given the realignment) 7. In some years (e.g. 1985), there were two Indianapolis events, perhaps on different surfaces. This is the larger 8. Held in Tokyo. Singles only; no doubles. Featured a third and fourth place playoff as well as winner and runner-up 9. Bonaventure in 1984; Deer Creek in 1983, with reduced prize money 10. Stuttgart until 1985 11.

In some cases, none of the above players ever won the event (e.g. none has won Hannover, which was last played in 2000). Davenport also won Chicago (II) in 1997; this was the last year that event was played. The Atlanta event was won by Davenport in 1997; it moved to New Haven in 1998. Davenport has also won several Tier III events: Lucerne 1993, Brisbane 1994, Lucerne 1994, Strasbourg 1995, Oklahoma City 1997, Madrid 1999. Hingis has two Tier III titles (’s-Hertogenbosch 2000; Doha 2001). Venus Williams won Oklahoma City in 1998, 1999. Monica Seles won Chicago (discontinued) in 1993; Essen (discontinued), Houston (discontinued), and Barcelona (discontinued) in 1992; Houston (discontinued), Milan (discontinued), and Tampa (discontinued) in 1991; and Houston (discontinued) in 1989. Seles won the U. S. Hardcourts (later Atlanta, later New Haven) in 1990 when it was in San Antonio. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 205 Career Results for Leading Players The following tables summarize the performances of certain top players, both current and recently retired. The criterion used is that a player must have retired since 1996, and must have, or be projected to have, at least 20 career singles titles. The table then attempts (probably with some inaccuracy) to break out a player’s titles by year, surface, and tier. Tiers have been translated, to the extent possible, to the current SlamChamp-I-II-III-IV-V system, even though the system has changed dramatically over the years (e.g. events now titled Tier II might have had prizes of $225,000 or $350,000 in the early Nineties; similarly, in the late Eighties the moneygap between Tier I and Tier II was only 3:2, compared to the 2:1 ratio of today. The list below does not represent the nomenclature at the time but what appears to me to be the best approximation to the nomenclature of today). Tournaments of Tier II or higher are shown in bold; lesser results in plain text. Note: Here as elsewhere, events which do not follow WTA admission rules (Olympics, Fed Cup, Hopman Cup, Grand Slam Cup) are not listed. Since some (not all) WTA lists include the Olympics, their totals for Capriati, Davenport, Graf, and Venus Williams may be one tournament higher.

This is a corrected list, but may be incomplete. Slams With the Most Partners, Open Era The following list shows all women who have won Slams with four or more partners in the Open Era, listing the partners and the number of Slams with each*.

Counting wins before the Open Era, Court won with 7 players: The above plus Ebbern, Reitano, and Turner. WTA Statistical Abstract 2001 ©Robert Waltz Page 232 Comings and Goings: On and Off the Rankings The following lists compare the ranking tables for 2000 and 2001, noting how many players have been added and subtracted. Note that this is not the same as the number of players who have turned pro or retired. Some players may go off the rankings because of injuries, others may reappear because they have recovered from injuries. And some have changed their names, and so will disappear from one list to reappear on the other (I have corrected some of these, e.g. Liezel Horn became Huber. But there are bound to be some low-ranked players I’ve missed). But this gives a general overview of how the numbers of ranked players has changed. Overall, the number of players is increasing, but the increase is not constant — there were 1079 ranked players at the end of the season in 1999; in 2000 there were 1242, an increase of 15%. But in 2001 the number fell again, to 1212. Note: The totals for the years don’t quite add up; there are two missing players. I assume it has something to do with my algorithm for identifying who is or isn’t the same player. Players ranked in 2000 but not in 2001 (total of 309): Julia Abe, Erica Adams, Geraldine Aizenberg, Maria Lore Alcetegaray, Estef Aldana Estremera, Denitsa Alexandrova, Jenny Andrade, Liza Andriyani, Anna Anikanova, Sabine Appelmans, Maria Jose Argeri, Carla Arguelles, Sunthree Arphanukul, Marcela Arroyo, Bettina Auer, Patricia Aznar, Meike Babel, Patrycja Bandurowska, Anne Banffy, Catherine Barclay, Fiona Barrett, Dina Basil, Yayuk Basuki, Kristy Bayer, Beatriz Becker, Kaur Harsimran Bedi, Petra Begerow, Eva Belbl, Nathalia Bellizia, Ma.
