| 2023 "Ms.BACKSPIN" STANDINGS |
|---|
| 1. Iga Swiatek, POL |
| ...Swiatek had a great deal to "live up" to in '23 after her brilliant '22 campaign, so much so that it was nearly impossible that she would match let alone surpasss her accomplishments of a year ago. Predictably, she wasn't *quite* able to do so, and at times resembled the mere "tennis mortal" that she so rarely seemed last season. Over the course of the first six months of the season, Swiatek defended her Roland Garros title and won a pair of other crowns, but was often out-done by big-hitters and found herself 1-4 against her top two competitors for Player of the Year (Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina) over the opening half of '23. During the hard court summer, she even lost to a player (Coco Gauff) she'd previously dominated as the young Bannerette added her name to the list of now *legit* contenders for Swiatek's leading position. Her 75-week run at #1 ended following the U.S. Open, as Sabalenka's season-long hunt of the Pole in the rankings finally resulted in her overtaking her as Iga failed to defend her title in New York. But rather than be the moment that Iga drifted back into the pack, the occasion of her now being the *#2* player in the world set the stage for Swiatek to prove her mettle all over again. If a great athlete is best judged by how they react to adversity, or a dip (however minimal it may be) in their results, well, then Swiatek more than "lived up" to expectations down this season's final stretch. Much like her title run last year at Flushing Meadows, Swiatek was maybe at her most impressive when she suddenly found herself pushed into a "corner," not necessarily in any particular *match* but over a stretch of time during which she was tasked with discovering a route around "trouble," masterfully managing her path while gaining momentum toward a bigger overall goal. With only a short span of schedule left over which to maneuver, Swiatek went to work, finishing with an epic flourish, going 12-1 in the 4Q and closing the year on an 11-match winning streak (winning 22 of 23 sets) and taking her first WTA Finals crown, just enough (by a slim 245-point margin) to reclaim the #1 ranking and finish a second straight season in the top spot. After having lost to Sabalenka on clay in the spring and Gauff during the summer, Swiatek reasserted her position atop the tour's hierarchy by going 3-0 against the pair (#2 and #3 in the final rankings, respectively) in the fall. Clearly, though the ride was a bit bumpier this time around, the WTA tour still exists in an "Iga world." |
| 2. Diede de Groot, NED (WC) |
| ...what do you do when a Grand Slam season becomes expected, and even that pales in comparison to the Golden Slam you won two seasons ago? Well, if you're the world's #1 wheelchair tennis star, you just don't lose. I mean, what *else* are ya gonna do, right? While completing a *third* straight season in which she swept all four slam singles crowns (accounting for 12 of her 33 straight overall tournament title runs), de Groot went 53-0, extending her nearly three full season winning streak to 127 matches. She also claimed the season-ending Masters titles (her sixth straight), two doubles slams (a slight downturn, after winning three in' 22) and the World Team Cup title with her Dutch teammates (her injury-related absence in the final had led to the nation suffering a rare defeat in the event last year). So, in all, de Groot claimed nine of the season's eleven major singles/doubles/team events in '23, and that slight window is the only reason why she didn't also win her second "Ms.Backspin" honor in three years, as this season -- as spectacular as it was -- actually ranks second or (arguably) *third* in her last three campaigns, behind her Golden Slam season (12-of-13, w/ the two Paralympic events) in '21, and her 9-of-11 big title year in '22 when she won 7 of 8 slam competitions. Such is the "splitting hairs" process when it comes to judging the accomplishments of likely the world's most dominant athlete. |
| 3. Aryna Sabalenka, BLR |
| ...after having triumped over horrific serving issues that threatened her power position on tour in '22, *this* season saw Sabalenka methodically (and successfully) chase down Iga Swiatek in the rankings. After that? Well, what happened then is why Sabalenka is third on this list rather than first. Starting with her maiden slam run in Melbourne, the Belarusian surged to the lead in the Points Race, became the first woman since 2016 (Serena) to reach at least the SF at all four slams in a season, won in Madrid (def. Swiatek in the final to get her first win over the Pole on clay) and, with a little help from her "friends," slipped past Iga into the #1 spot after the U.S. Open despite losing in the final to Coco Gauff. With the move, Sabalenka became just the eighth woman to reach #1 in both singles and doubles in her career, and the first since 2010. But Sabalenka couldn't put together a follow-up to secure the season-ending #1. While Swiatek's results soared after falling to #2, Sabalenka went just 5-3 in the top spot, closing her season with a loss to Swiatek in the WTAF semis with the year-end #1 spot on her racket. Sabalenka has previously recorded two of her three career wins over Swiatek in previous editions of the event (in 2021 and '22), including the win in last year's semis that unofficially kicked off what would prove to be the 10-month drive to catch and surpass Swiatek. |
| 4. Coco Gauff, USA |
| ...this season was the year that Gauff officially shut down her lingering critics. Though still not yet 20, many had chosen to focus on the negative of what the teenager *had yet* to do over the course of her early career after being heralded as the "next big thing" in her debut season as a 15-year old in 2019. Nevermind that she'd already reached a slam singles final ('22) and two others in doubles ('21 US/'22 RG), been the doubles #1 (2022) and won multiple tour titles. Gauff was having a good season (w/ a singles title, 1000 SF, slam QF and Miami doubles win), but it was her decision to move forward with a coaching change before the summer hard court season that proved to be the tipping point. After joining forces with Brad Gilbert and Pere Riba (the latter exited the team during the 4Q), the Summer of Coco suddenly became a reality. After a 1st Round exit at Wimbledon, Gauff went on an 18-1 summer hard court run that saw her win two regular tour titles (Washington, Cincinnati), notch her first win over #1 Iga Swiatek and then close out the stretch by claiming her maiden slam crown at the U.S. Open by outdueling the soon-to-be-crowned-#1 Aryna Sabalenka in the final. Gauff ultimately finished the year on a 24-4 gallup, reaching the semis in her secord WTAF appearance (after going 0-3 in RR play in '22). Now a solid #3 in the rankings, Gauff will again encounter an elevated level of expectation next season but, by this point, there's no player on tour more used to such a reality. She's literally carried such a weight from Day 1 of her big stage career, and she's handled it quite well so far. |
| 5. Elena Rybakina, KAZ |
| ...Rybakina didn't follow up her '22 Wimbledon win with a second major title, but she did just about everything else. Such as: reaching the AO final, winning Indian Wells and coming up just one victory short (Miami RU) of pulling off the "Sunshine Double," winning another 1000 title (her biggest on clay) in Rome and going a combined 5-2 vs. the world's top two players (3-0 vs. Iga, 2-2 vs. Sabalenka, losing only in the AO final and WTAF RR). And she did it while battling a tour apparatus that, a year after awarding her no points for her Wimbledon title (nor following the ATP's lead and at least offering a WTAF berth for all slam winners), following up in '23 by seemingly trying to wear her down to the nub with mindless in-tournament scheduling and consistent mismanagement of all things tennis. Through it all, though, the usually quiet and reserved Rybakina found her voice and proved to be the WTA's loudest and most pointed critic. And a Backspinner's heart grew three sizes that day. |
| 6. Canadian BJK Cup Team |
| ...led by the irrepressible Leylah Fernandez (and the surprising Marina Stakusic), Team Canada took the BJK Cup by storm by winning the nation's first-ever title with a sweep of Italy in the final. For the year, Fernandez tied the event record with an 8-0 season mark in "live" matches as she scored all three points in a win over Belgium (via a deciding doubles) in the Qualifiers, led the team to a 2-0 round robin mark in Finals group play, scored both points in the semis over the Czechs with a win over Marketa Vondrousova (ending her 13-match Cup streak) and a deciding doubles upset (w/ Gaby Dabrowski) of Krejcikova/Siniakova. In the final, Fernandez clinched the maiden title for captain Heidi El Tabakh with a win over Jasmine Paolini, fitfully following up Canada's first-ever men's Davis Cup title in '22 with a matching feat on the women's side less than a year later. |
| 7. Jessie Pegula, USA |
| ...Pegula is still seeking her first career slam SF (0-6 in QF, two this season), but she continued to master other areas in '23 by picking up two titles (including her second 1000 in Montreal) to double her career total, reaching five finals (doubling, as well), including her biggest ever at the WTAF, and notching her first *three* #1 victories (she'd been 0-4 vs.). Pegula also shared the doubles' #1 ranking with Coco Gauff for a time this year. |
| 8. Karolina Muchova, CZE |
| ...after injuries left her at #149 at the close of the '22 season, Muchova stayed on the court long enough in '23 to climb into the Top 10, reach her first slam final at Roland Garros *and* reach her third career slam semi with a final four run at the U.S. Open. Unfortunately, she hasn't won a tour title in four years (Seoul '19) and once again saw injury curtail her season in the 4Q (missing the WTAF). |
| 9. Marketa Vondrousova, CZE |
| ...one great result can make a season, but it does not a season make. After returning in October '22 from yet another wrist injury break (six months), Vondrousova was ranked outside the Top 100 in March. Her Wimbledon title made good on the great promise she showed when she reached the RG final *four* years ago. It helped her earn a Top 10 ranking, but she only had one other SF-or-better result all year long (Linz SF, in *February*). Vondrousova showed great consistency, posting multiple wins in 12 of her first 14 events, but ended the season losing six of seven. |
| 10. Barbora Krejcikova, CZE |
| ...Krejcikova rode a rollercoaster of results in '23, but while she posted just one second week slam run (AO, with a combined 1-3 mark in the other three) she was able to win two big titles in Dubai (1000) and San Diego (500) -- knocking off the world #1, #2 and #3 in the former -- and won four more doubles titles (including the AO and IW w/ Siniakova). |
| 11. Laura Siegemund/Verz Zvonareva, GER/RUS |
| ...the veteran pair put on a back-half rush to qualify for the WTAF, winning in Washington and reaching the U.S. Open final. In the 4Q, they strung together title runs in Ningbo and (in the final regular season week) Nanchang to slip into the field. They ultimately *won* the season-ending WTAF title in Cancun to lead the tour in both titles (4) and finals (5) in '23. |
| 12. Barbora Krejcikova/Katerina Siniakova, CZE/CZE |
| ...it says something about the great success that the Czechs have had that this season -- in which they won their seventh slam title (AO, their fourth win in their last four major appearances since the start of '22), Indian Wells and the San Diego 500 -- was clearly considered to be a disappointment. There were good reasons for such an assessment, as they won just one slam MD match after Melbourne (where they'd extended their slam win streak to 24 straight matches) and suffered through a spotty 3-4 stretch after starting the season at 11-0. They rebounded with a title run in San Diego (going undefeated in finals this year, finishing with a tour second-best three titles), but went 1-3 the rest of the tour season, then lost the deciding doubles in the BJK Cup Finals semis vs. Canada. Soon after, the longtime pair announced they won't be doubles partners in 2024. |
| 13. Petra Kvitova, CZE |
| ...while her slam results continued to lag (one 4r, and two total wins in the others), Kvitova posted some of her best results in years. After a QF in Indian Wells, her Sunshine back-half included her biggest title in five years in Miami. She also added yet another grass title (Berlin) as she got off to a 25-7 start. Unfortunately, she hit the wall after that, going 5-6. |
| 14. Hsieh Su-wei, TPE |
| ...returned from a 18-month injury-related sabbatical and, in her fourth tournament back, won the Roland Garros doubles title with Wang Xinyu. She then went to London and won Wimbledon with Barbora Strycova. |
| 15. Coco Gauff/Jessie Pegula, USA/USA |
| ...though they spent time in the #1 WD ranking (3 total weeks as co-#1), the Bannerette pair failed to win their maiden slam crown (reaching two major SF) and went 0-3 in the WTAF for the second straight year. Still, the duo won the tour's regular season Points Race, their second career 1000 title (Montreal), reached two other 1000 finals (Madrid/Rome) and defended their Doha crown. |
| HM- Ons Jabeur, TUN |
| ...Jabeur had yet another fine season, reaching her third career slam final, winning two titles (improving on her '22 Charleston RU, and winning her first tour hard court title in Ningo) while finishing in the Top 10 for a third straight season. But she remains slam title-free, and changing that reality now, on balance, becomes the focus (and judging principle?) of the rest of her career. |
