Is the WTA tour more homogeneous than in the past? That's at least what former player Anna Chakvetadze feels.

Speaking to Tennis 365, the Russian gave an overview of the women's tour, mentioning a more homogeneous WTA and athletes who clearly stand out.

"I would like to see more creative players again"

"I have the impression that the WTA tour has become generally more homogeneous today. Of course, there are players who clearly stand out thanks to their physical and athletic qualities.

Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, and Coco Gauff are all exceptional and very interesting players to watch. But overall, the tour seems more balanced than before.

At the same time, I would say it has become a bit less varied in terms of playing styles compared to my era. Has the tour become more physical? That's possible. But it seems especially more homogeneous.

Personally, I would like to see more creative players again, more variety in styles, and more individuality on the tour."

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
