@@СтасШейбак I agree :)

You’re right she is the player to beat right now. It’s hard to say she was better in 2024 considering IGA dominated the first half of the season.

Sabalenka was only consistent after Toronto

@@jamessewell2672 She used that shot well against Zheng in the WTA final! 🔥

@@xabisombilini5440 Exactly! Iga has been consistent, but Sabalenka is finally starting to fulfill her potential. She was always seen as a player who could dominate the women’s game and win multiple Slams

@@joyceblackwood9335 I understand where you're coming from. Her power is on another level very few players can handle it! When she’s fired up and determined, it’s impossible not to feel pumped up watching her.

So according to you Iga has no determination to win having 5 grand slams and WTA Finals?

@@Lederius18 Exactly! She absolutely needs to cut out those double faults, it’s crazy to think she has way more double faults than aces in 2024 stat. If she could cut them in half like you’ve said, there’s no doubt she could win multiple majors and dominate the Masters 1000 events. It’s not like she can’t compete with top players like Swiatek and Sabalenka in baseline play. The WTA Finals showed that Sabalenka’s power doesn’t bother her. Most of her issues seem to be mental; she just needs to stay disciplined and composed under pressure. Yeah with Zheng, it really comes down to gaining experience. Hopefully, she can learn from her defeats in the Australian Open final and the WTA Finals and push forward in 2025

I agree Aryna yelling can be annoying, and I doubt she’ll stop! Iga was more dominant in 2024 than Aryna but let’s see what happens in 2025 :)

@@DLH-zw3lx I understand where you’re coming from. In the video, I did mention that Toni believes ‘Federer was the better player at his peak.’ I thought this was clear, but perhaps it could have been emphasized better.

@GrandSlamStats @GrandSlamStats you mentioned it somewhere in the start. In the conclusion, level of Federer's play is not what is factored in. But that's what Toni was basing his words on -- Federer's level of play, not aesthetics. The conclusion of the video paints it much more a a "pretty play" vs. "stats" juxtaposition -- which, unfortunately, is completely misleading to the average viewer. Level of play, according to one of the most successful coaches in the history of the game, is a serious, non-feeling based metric, my friend

In fact, Toni's comments from that excerpt of that particular 2024 interview at his academy do not even mention aesthetics or style of play at all. He says Federer played the game better. That's all.

@ Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it. I see your point, and I’ll definitely be more careful and clear in the future if I cover a similar topic again. My intent wasn’t to misrepresent Toni’s comments, but I understand how the conclusion might have come across differently. I’ll work on making sure the distinction between factors like level of play and style is more accurately conveyed next time.

@GrandSlamStats cheers ) production values are great. Respect

I see where you're coming from, and Sabalenka definitely had a great season, winning 2 slams in a year that’s been challenging for her. But you could argue that Swiatek has been the more dominant player across the 2024 season

@GrandSlamStats Your partially true on the dominant claim for the frist half of the season.The second half was dissapointing i mean that loss to Zheng at the Olympics was the biggest upset this year,like getting destroyed by a 5 foot Putinsteva and then losing to Pegula at Us open.Pegula who never went past the quarters and finaly the wta finals was dissapointing.Gets destroyed by Coco who she often dominates,almost lost to Krejcikova and the Kasatkina match was kindy not valid.Kasatkina didnt expect to play and obviosly as a said the fact that she has been caught guilty of using drugs makes no doubt that Sabalenka had much better season.

@ Thank you for your response! I agree with many of your points, especially regarding the loss to Zheng at the Olympics, it was definitely the biggest upset of the year, especially since it was on her favourite surface as well. You’re also right that Sabalenka winning two Grand Slam titles gives her a strong case for having the better season. However, I don’t think it’s entirely clear-cut. You could also factor Swiatek total number of titles and their head-to-head record (as mentioned in the video).

Sabalenka failed to win a title between AO and August

@@SmithyPL Lame argument.Iga didnt reach a final since RG....Saba since february was in great emotinal stress,later that year she got injured and sick so she mist Wimbldon and the Olympics.Stop with the lame arguments like Iga won 5 and Aryna 4 titles....Please and a 2-1 h2h dont make me laugh.If you guys dont follow tennis Saba finished n1 end of discusion i wont remply again.

The women’s game is so good right now! Let’s hope its even more competitive in 2025!

Sabalenka was too good in the last two months of the season!

Still the best player in 2024 though.

Sabalenka is more entertaining to watch

That’s debatable.

Sabalenka finished 2024 strongly and will definitely be the player to beat in the beginning of 2025

Who do you think is going to dominate women’s tennis?

@GrandSlamStats Coco, Sabalenka, Iga, Qinwen in that order. I see Coco ascending to #1 next year followed by Sabalenka while Iga falls to #3 or lower. Iga doesn't seem to have endurance and it doesn't get better with increasing age.

@ To be fair, there's still a significant gap between Iga and the rest of the field on clay, and that's unlikely to change anytime soon. Coco definitely needs to build on her recent results, she needs to be more ruthless. I hope she becomes world No. 1, as it would make the women’s game even more exciting. As for Qinwen, she looked good this year, but we’ll see. Hopefully, Rybakina finds her form again in 2025 it would be great to have her back in the mix

Clay is not the only surface ​@@GrandSlamStats

@@trommelbiel of course :)

That's a good point about how many factors influence who wins the match. Still, it might be interesting to look at who had the better season overall in 2024 by comparing their performances statistically

​@GrandSlamStats Isn't it WTA ranking list saying that? Isn't that the role of the ranking? Don't you think is quite objective? The rules are known to everyone and they're simple... nobody is ever the best all the time... We will see many more matches between these great tennis players, I hope

Interesting point! How would you split those 10 matches based on their favourite surfaces to make it fair?

@@GrandSlamStats 5xPhilippe-Chatrier & 5xRod Laver Arena . :)

@@noosakasoon-il5dj Would be 5-5 then

It was Germany sorry about that! Germany end up winning in the deciding doubles match with Zverev and Laura Siegemund beat Iga and Hurkacz

Okay she won two Grand Slam Titles but she wasn’t as dominant across the 2024 season

She did win Olympic bronze. I just didn’t know which category to put that information under. But yeah as most of the video explained Iga has definitely been the more dominant player in the 2024 season!

True, that’s a good point. If only Sinner had faced the 2018-2020 version of Schwartzman, especially on clay, it would not have been an easy match for him.

No doubt about that man!

Sinner is one of the few players that is helping to keep this era of men’s tennis interesting though 😅

Thanks bro!

Exactly! He’s ruthless and clinical with the way he plays.

Okay fair enough, but I’m curious to know why?

@@marshaloga3047 agreed!

@@Mick-zi2pj Exactly! Way too early for Mats to be making these kind of comments. 😅

@GrandSlamStats far far too early besides this is the weakest era of all time if alcaraz or siiner win 25 slams it still won't mean as mush as novak rafa and feds tallies

@@Mick-zi2pj

@@ontraccapp Thank you! I appreciate that :)

I get why you see Federer as the GOAT, but personally, I'd rank Djokovic first, followed by Nadal, and then Federer

I’ve said Djokovic is the GOAT before. I’m just responding to Toni Nadal comments.

@@GrandSlamStats My comment wasnt directed on you man! Cheers!

And who the fuck are you so your opinion is matters? :)

@@Sathonys666 Fair enough man with your opinion on Federer but it’s hard to go against Djokovic being recognised as the GOAT when he has won everything and has the superior head to head record.

@@AL-hd8xd Nadal is interesting to watch, he’s been involved in two of the greatest matches of all time against his 2 Main Rivals? (Wimbledon 2008 and Australian Open 2012)

I’m not sure he would have outlasted Nadal at French Open 2022. It’s a shame with that match against Alcaraz at French 2024 he should have kicked on from the 3rd set. Wimbledon he should be doing a lot better in that tournament.

He definitely has a mental block when it comes to slams.

Thanks bro!

@@Hhhhhhhhhhh371 Exactly! 💯

Hahaha that's it! IDEMO Novak 🔥

Thanks man!

@@joshheinink Exactly! He’ll be back.

I reckon Jannik Sinner has a big chance of winning it.

It did indeed!

Thanks man
