Iga Swiatek looks to be on the verge of dominating, tbh.

(Barty was relatively consistent but retired last year because she didn’t enjoy the tour)

Fwiw, outside of Djokovic and the declining Nadal, men’s tennis is looking just as unpredictable these days - the assumption is Carlos Alcaraz is about to get to that level, but he’s still only won the one major. But most of the other players coming through are very inconsistent. Even a guy like Medvedev (who reached #1) still hasn’t managed to reach the semi-final stages of 2 of the grand slams.

Whatever is coming next, it’s not gonna look like that absurd 15 year period from 2004 where at any one time you basically had 2-4 of the best players in history dominating the tour.

Edit: since writing this post this morning, the 2nd, 8th and 12th* mens seeds were all knocked out by unseeded players.
