Iga Swiatek vs Coco Gauff vs Aryna Sabalenka vs Elena Rybakina: WTA ‘Big 4’ state of play ahead of Wimbledon
With Wimbledon just a week away, all eyes are on four players when it comes to the women’s singles draw.
Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Aryna Sabalenka, and Elena Rybakina have separated themselves from the rest of the women’s game and there is no doubt that the top four on the WTA Rankings will be incredibly tough to beat at the All England Club.
Ahead of an intriguing third Grand Slam of the season, we look at how all four stack up as they eye another major title.
Iga Swiatek
Ranking: 1
2024 Titles: 5 (Doha, Indian Wells, Madrid, Rome, Roland Garros)
Grand Slam results: Australian Open R3, French Open champion
Wimbledon best: QF 2023
Undoubtedly the dominant force on the WTA Tour this year, Swiatek has been streets ahead of her main rivals when anywhere close to her best.
There have been some shock results – most notably her Australian Open loss – but her five titles place her well ahead of the rest of the field, and she has won some of the biggest titles on tour this season.
After a dominant clay court season where she lost just once, and ultimately won 19 matches in a row on her way to a fourth Roland Garros victory, the world No 1 heads to her weakest surface.
Following a long clay season she did not choose to play a warm-up tournament on grass, but that may have been a blessing in disguise after events in Berlin.
She has never made a Wimbledon semi-final but, playing some of the best tennis of her career, you would have to back her to at least go that deep this year.
Her draw will be hugely important for her chances, but she is arguably the favourite for the title as it stands.
