In jon_wertheim’s latest mailbag, he discusses Coco Gauff’s doubles prowess and the early scene at the U.S. Open
and the way she is playing on her own terms, going to new cities, relishing the competition. But, apart from her age , she hasn’t won a Major since 2008 and hasn’t been beyond the third round since 2017.
Note that the active major winner who has gone the longest without a Major is….Venus. But Svetlana Kuznetsova who is now 37 and not officially retired qualifies as well.How are doubles teams ranked/seeded when it’s two singles players who team up sporadically for a given tournament?Hi Jon, Disappointed to see Chris [Evert]'s comment that Serena "doesn't have the most accomplished career", for a couple of reasons. Firstly it seems very ill timed when there's such a mood of goodwill around a titan who could play her last match any day now, secondly because Chris has always spoken fondly on Serena, and also because the remark came straight after Chris said that comparing generations was complicated and meaningless.
I also reserve some sympathy for her and Martina and Steffi Graf. Even the USTA introduced Serena as “The Greatest of All Time.” If the former champions were to push back it is seen as sour grapes. If not, they sit silent and let their achievements get gets reduced. In contrast to their playing days, they are in a no-win situation.. She still lurks outside the top 10 in singles, but that may not last long.
A few reasons: 1) this is essentially how monopolies and oligopolies roll. They shut out competitors. 2) You could make the case that tennis benefits from scarcity. The more majors, the less special they get, both individually and as a collective. 3) There are venue issues. There aren’t infinite sites that can accommodate three weeks of tennis, feature the requisite television positions, on-site gyms and practice courts. Etc.
