Comparisons to Serena, Evert, Seles, and Sanchez Vicario all in the last 48 hours

Not saying it's a clear cut "Golden Era" on the WTA Tour yet...but certainly feels like we're knocking on the door of something special

Via @tennisabstract.bsky.social: Mccartney Kessler now 23-9 (.719) overall + 6-5 vs. Top 50 opponents since the start of Wimbledon

Up to a new career-high live ranking of #57. Has a very maneuverable section of the #AusOpen  draw as well

Via @tennisabstract.bsky.social: Putintseva quietly 37-16 (.698) overall + 10-8 (.556) vs. Top 20 players since the start of Indian Wells

Up to a new career-high live ranking of #23 with her run in Adelaide this week

Fonseca has now won 12 in a row + 15 of his last 16 matches

The splits
- Hold %: 90.4%
- Break%: 33.7%
- 1st serve %: 69.6%

Fonseca's numbers match the eye-test. Guy is unequivocally ready for the big stage

Pretty clear Ashlyn Krueger is ready to take a leap in 2025

The 20 year-old is now 18-9 overall since the start of August. Has already picked up 3 Top 20 victories to start the new season. Has to be on the shortlist of "Most Dangerous unseeded players" for the Australian Open

This was always the hope for American Tennis Fans

The Summer of 2015 saw Paul, Opelka, and Fritz all capture junior slam titles. Of course that came immediately after massive jumps from Tiafoe/Kozlov

Starting to see the final/best form of that competition amongst peers

Enjoy the last few years of the American Tennis resurgence?!

Few people deserve more credit for that than Martin Blackman + Stacey Allaster, both of whom recently announced their impending departures

Clearly entering a new era of leadership at the USTA. Quietly a massive story

Eight years apart. Each equally beautiful

FWIW: Seems like Swiatek will not miss the Australian Open because of this suspension

Does nothing to lesson the shock value of this announcement, but still worth noting

An unequivocal "HOLY S*%T" moment to start the off-season

World #2 Iga Swiatek "has accepted a one-month suspension under the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme"

An absolutely insane week of announcements continues on the college tennis front

More talent injected into what already promised to be an exciting year of play. Continued proof that more and more players are discovering the perks of the #collegetennis pathway

A massive CONGRATULATIONS to every player earning All-American status following their victories during today's @NCAATennis singles action

No question in my mind: The best tennis in the world this week is happening in Waco
