Ms.Backspin '22: Iga the Authentic


As it's turned out... easy lies the new head that wears the crown.







Here she is, this season's ideal...


via GIPHY




1. Iga Swiatek, POL - one would have thought that the sudden retirement of the world #1, the reigning champ at two majors, in March would have set off a season-long struggle for the right to be the best women's tennis player(s) in the world. But not on Iga's watch.

When Ash Barty retired prior to her '21 Miami title defense, Swiatek had just secured her first Indian Wells crown. Before the start of play in Miami, as the world #2, the Pole was already assured of rising to the #1 position when '21 Miami winner Barty's name was set to be removed from the rankings following this year's event. But rather than shrink from her new position, Swiatek instead followed up her tough-going win in California with a far-more-breezy dominant run in South Florida, pulling off the "Sunshine Double" to erase all doubt about whether she was a "deserving" new #1.

She only poured it on from there, extending what was already a 17-match winning streak into a 37-match one that was the longest on tour this century (and 11th longest all-time) and included a nearly spotless BJK Cup stint (winning 24/25 games) and an undefeated spring clay season during which she claimed her second Roland Garros title.

While grass continued to befuddle Iga (ah, a goal for 2023 to keep her focused!), she sparked again once the schedule returned to hard court, closing out the summer with her maiden U.S. Open crown. While she failed to add a WTAF title to her hard court haul (she lost in the SF after having had the most dominant round robin performance seen since '07), Swiatek ended the season with the most match wins (58) over the past five seasons, eight singles titles (including two majors and four 1000s), 22 bagel sets and a 15-2 mark vs. the Top 10.



2. Diede de Groot, NED - if you suspected that winning her fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth straight wheelchair slam singles titles (to go along with two WC Masters and a Paralympic Gold in 2021-22) -- the sport's first back-to-back Golden & Grand Slam campaigns -- would be enough to sufficiently gild the lily of the sort of dominant level of play that de Groot has authored the past two seasons, well, you'd have been wrong. The Dutch star went even further *this* year. She simply refused to lose. Ever. De Groot was 38-0 on the season, ending '22 on a 74-match singles winning streak spanning two seasons during which she's claimed 19 consecutive titles and won 142 of 145 sets. For the second straight year, de Groot also teamed with Aniek Van Koot to win three WD majors and the year-end Doubles Masters. De Groot's 16 career WS slams now has Esther Vergeer's women's record of 21 clearly within sight.



3. Barbora Krejcikova/Katerina Siniakova, CZE/CZE - no one took home more major titles in '22 than the Czech duo, who went undefeated in slam play (only missing RG due to Krejcikova's positive Covid test), with their first U.S. Open title completing not only a Career Doubles Slam for the pair, but also a Golden one (w/ '21 Tokyo) and the accomplishment of becoming the first female duo to ever win all four slams, the Olympics and the season-ending championships (2021). Only the Bryan twins and the "Woodies" (Woodbridge/Woodforde) have done it on the men's side.



4. Caroline Garcia, FRA - five seasons after she first shot up the rankings to the Top 10, Garcia turned around years of subsequent underachievement in '22, climbing from #74 to #4. The Pastry claimed four titles, including a 1000 (Cincinnati) and the WTA Finals while also reaching her maiden slam semi (US) and being the only player to win singles titles on grass, clay, hard court and in outdoor *and* indoor events. She even picked up a second career Roland Garros WD crown alongside Kristina Mladenovic.



5. Ons Jabeur, TUN - building career year upon career year, beloved magician Jabeur upped her game in '22 to include a pair of slam finals (WI/US), back-to-back 1000 finals in Madrid and Rome (winning the former), a second straight season with a grass court title (Berlin) and a career-high ranking (and finish) of #2 behind top-ranked Swiatek.



6. Jessie Pegula, USA - Pegula was a deadly one-two punch in '22, rising to new career heights in both singles and doubles. She climbed to #3 in both disciplines (finishing as WS #3, WD #6), winning her biggest singles title (Guadalajara 1000) while reaching three slam QF, and three more SF+ results in 1000 events (Madrid RU, Miami/Toronto SF), while claiming her first five tour doubles titles (and reaching the RG final w/ Coco Gauff) as she reached the WTAF in both s/d for the first time.



7. Veronika Kudermetova, RUS - only follow-through singles success prevented Kudermetova from a remarkable '22 campaign. She still posted career-best results in both singles and doubles, finishing in the Top 10 in both (at #2 in WD) while reaching a combined nine finals. Though she was 0-3 in singles title matches, the Hordette won WD crowns in Rome (w/ Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova) and at the WTA Finals (w/ Elise Mertens). She and Mertens reached back-to-back desert finals in Dubai (W) and Doha (RU), while also playing in the Madrid 1000 final.



8. Elena Rybakina, KAZ - Rybakina's was a season of somewhat uneven results punctuated by one brilliant result that was both revelatory and "overdue." After exploding into the pre-pandemic 2020 season, the Kazakh has had difficulty recapturing the all-encompassing magic of those opening months of that year. Her three '22 finals were her first since late '20, while her one title was her first since winning Hobart in Week 2 more than two years ago. Luckily for Rybakina, her win was a *big* one, as she became the first Kazakh slam champion at Wimbledon, at 23 becoming the tournament's youngest women's winner since Petra Kvitova claimed her first at SW19 in '11. Unluckily for Rybakina, who escaped the RUS/BLR ban since she began representing KAZ four years ago, no ranking points were earned due to the controversial decision by TPTB to withhold them from all players in the event. With no other titles in '22, though she did add two of her three career 1000 QF runs, Rybakina failed to finish the season in the Top 20 and joined the retired Ash Barty as '22 slam champions not named Iga who were also absent from the WTA Finals field.



9. Ash Barty, AUS - though by now it seems like an entire Iga lifetime ago, Barty opened the season looking like she'd carry over the form that had led her to be the world #1 for all but four weeks since June 2019. She opened '22 by sweeping the singles and doubles titles in Adelaide, then followed up by becoming the first Aussie woman to win the Australian Open in 44 years, dropping no sets while picking up a third leg of a potential Career Slam. Then Barty went away for a while, skipped Indian Wells, and before the start of her Miami title defense announced her retirement from tennis, saying she was "spent" at age 25. Her exit was effective immediately, and the move -- both stunning, but also not so much -- capped her career weeks at #1 at 121 (7th all-time), the final 114 being the fourth longest streak in tour history. Barty has since played a little (winning, of course) golf, released an autobiography and gotten married. Whether she eventually returns to the sport remains to be seen, but for now she's simply living her best life.



10. Coco Gauff, USA - still only 18, Gauff continues to build momentum for something "more." She had success in both singles and doubles in '22, finishing in the Top 10 (#7/#4) in both and rising to the in-season doubles #1 slot during the summer, the youngest to hold the position since 1998 (Hingis). The height of Gauff's dual threat season arrived in Paris, as she reached the finals of both singles (her maiden slam appearance) and doubles (second in less than a year, w/ '21 US). Gauff and Jessie Pegula not only reached the RG final, but also won three titles, including two 1000 level crowns (Doha/Toronto). A WTAF qualifier in both disciplines, though she didn't pick up a solo trophy in '22, Gauff was the youngest singles participant in the event since 2005 (Sharapova), posting three Top 10 wins (a career high) over the course of the season.










11. Diede de Groot/Aniek Van Koot, NED/NED - won AO, RG and US (+Masters) for a second straight season. They've won 12 slams as a pair, and 11 of the last 15 (+3 Masters and the Paralympics) from 2019-22. Van Koot's 22nd career WD slam broke Esther Vergeer's women's WC record.

12. Simona Halep, ROU - Halep's crazy year included a title in Week 1, contemplation of retirement, an Indian Wells semi, marriage (& later divorce), a complete change of team (to coach Patrick Mouratoglou on down), her first return to Wimbledon since her '19 title run (SF), her biggest title in two+ years (Toronto), a disappointing 1st Round exit at the U.S. Open, her eighth career Top 10 finish (in 9 seasons), season-ending nose surgery and then the start of a fight against a suspension after a postive doping test at Flushing Meadows.

13. Coco Gauff/Jessie Pegula, USA/USA - won three titles (2 1000) and reached the Roland Garros final.

14. Dasha Kasatkina, RUS - returned to the Top 10 as she reached her maiden slam SF (RG), won two titles and recorded six Top 10 victories (five vs. Top 5).

15. Liudmila Samsonova, RUS - after a slow start, caught fire during the summer (taking advantage of the time off during the LTA Russian ban to right the ship). Samsonova won three HC titles (and 13 straight matches), reaching the U.S. Open second week (4r) and cracking the Top 20.

16. Veronika Kudermetova/Elise Mertens, RUS/BEL - closed the year w/ a WTAF title, added to their Dubai title in February (+3 other finals as a pair). For her part, while Kudermetova won no WS titles, Mertens won one, though she saw her slam 4r (4) and 3r (18) streaks end in NYC.

17. Beatriz Haddad Maia, BRA - finished in the Top 20 in both s/d, winning back-to-back grass titles (Nottingham/Birmingham) and reaching the Toronto 1000 final (def. #1 Swiatek en route).

18. Kristina Mladenovic, FRA - while her WS results remain a struggle, Mladenovic reclaimed much of her past doubles prowess, winning slam titles #8 (2nd AO MX) and #9 (4th RG win, 3rd in 4 yrs. and 2nd w/ C.Garcia). Won four tour WD titles w/ four different partners, and a WTA 125 w/ a fifth.

19. Gaby Dabrowski/Giuliana Olmos, CAN/MEX - reached back-to-back Madrid (W) and Rome (RU) finals, and 500 finals in Tokyo (W) and San Diego (RU).

20. Eri Hozumi/Makoto Ninomiya, JPN/JPN - despite their far lower ranking (#37 and #39, and 15th in the points Race), matched Krejcikova/Siniakova and Gauff/Pegula for the tour duo lead with three titles (all 250), winning crowns on three different surfaces.

HM- Alona Ostapenko, LAT - won singles (Dubai) and doubles titles (2 w/ L.Kichenok), while playing in her first slam 4th Round (WI) since '18. She defeated four past slam winners in consecutive matches en route to the title in Dubai.
