A ranking comparison between now and August showed the demise of several prominent players that are positioned far worse on the rankings than a few months ago.
Tennis is a quick sport due to every week holding a new event. Every week a new player is given a chance to break out and things change rather quickly. A ranking comparison for several players shows just how quickly things in tennis can turn around. Paula Badosa, Garbine Muguruza, Emma Raducanu and Anett Kontaveit are all ranked far worse than they were several months ago.
On August 8th, Kontaveit was number two in the world. Badosa was number three in the world. Muguruza was ranked 8th and Raducanu 10th. Now, several months later, Badosa is ranked 20th, Kontaveit 27th, Raducanu 82nd and Muguruza 85. Badosa struggled with injuries and poor results which resulted in the dorp.

Muguruza had a terrible year barely winning any matches and it's continued this year. Having to defend many points from the 2021 WTA finals didn't help. Anett Kontaveit just retired this week and won't be back in a while which will see her leave the top 50. Raducanu's struggles have been well documented.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
