Top five players who upset the script this season on WTA Tour including Harmony Tan, Ajla Tomljanovic and Elena Rybakina
WTA
A couple of players did not care about anything this year on the WTA Tour doing their own thing and messing up the script of the season.
As with any tennis season, this too had a fairly solid script as to how it was supposed to go. Many thought they knew how things would this year but these players completely spoiled all of it. We begin with Harmony Tan who made herself quite infamous with the win over Serena Williams and her Wimbledon doubles fiasco.
Nobody expected Williams to play only one match at Wimbledon but Tan made sure of it crushing the dreams of Williams and of many other fans. We stay at Wimbledon for the second one. In the year of the Russian players were banned from Wimbledon, a Russian won the trophy. Elena Rybakina, a native Russian climbed to the top by beating Jabeur in the final.

Playing under Kazakhstan's flag Rybakina was able to achieve to the greatest success of her career beating fan favourite Jabeur in the final. Martina Trevisan crushed many dreams a month earlier in Paris by reaching the Roland Garros semi-final. Nobody saw this coming and neither did she as Gauff ended her dream in the semi-final.
We stay at Roland for number four with Ons Jabeur once again in the picture. The Tunisian complained about having to play early on Sunday with very few fans attending and it only got worse when Magda Linette rose up to score her biggest career win that day. Round one exit for Jabeur.
We began with queen Serena and we will finish with her. Her US Open run looked magical with some buzz arising of whether she could do something. It amounted to nothing particular as Ajla Tomljanovic pumped the breaks on those hopes with Williams evolving her way out of Ashe.

- 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.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - 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 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- 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 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
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
