I'm really happy that Andy recognises Muchova. She's an amazing player with beautifull tennis and i think a lot of people kinda forgot about her, cause she was almost 1 year out with that Wrist Injury. If she can be healthy in 2025, i'm 100% sure she will be climbing to those top 5 places for sure.

Karolina Muchova is so much fun to watch, her intelligence and versatility on the court. I remember her playing the RG2023 final against Iga Świątek and realizing that it didn't matter to me who won, I'd be happy either way, and this coming from a Pole.

Soooo excited for 2025 WTA. I think the top 5 is incredibly strong right now and will make the slams really competitive and exciting. The rest of the top 10 and even outside of it has great players that can beat the top 5 on their best days. Very competitive field right now and we've got wildcards like Osaka lurking as well. Bring on the Australian Open! Great episode, Andy!

Eggsalad. Love the show, love this recap, keep it up chuckers. Paolini was a major figure this year. Pegula breaks through at a major. Coco is terrific in nearly every phase but one and I have to think that will be corrected. The testing parameters/system is a trainwreck that must be fixed. Collins is still a lousy case for sportsmanship, imo. Rybakina took a very necessary step, and hope it goes very well for her. Aryna is a joy on & off the court. And much love to Dasha Kasatkina.

The thee players that I think that can win their maiden grand slams are Qin Wen Zheng, Muchova and Andreeva, I think one of them will win but not all three. Qin Wen really should have won the year end final and had all the chances of doing it but not putting in the final nail, but we saw a trend of continuous improvement over the last few months after the USO. Muchova, by far the player with the most complete tool sets in WTA, great athlete, great defender as well as attacker. Andreeva, very smart young player, has a tennis brain that mature than her age and has a great coach in Conchita Matinez who is harnessing her talent to be a slam winner.

I see no way iga falls under 2. Realistically she is gonna still end no1 as she has been no1 most of the time the last 3 years. Sabalenka has never played with the pressure of no1 next to her name. Actually she has played only 3 tournamnets and lost all 3 of them. Anyway i get the recency bias but you will see that there is no way she finishes in 3

it'd be great if. ( big IF. ) Rybakina and Muchova could play even 2 seasons healthy... but the 4 slams will probably be some mix of Sabalinka, Gauff & Swiatek. perhaps someone will get totally hot like E. Raducanu a couple years ago , but Who to pick out for that ? OK. the 4 I'd be real happy IF they won, but a long shot for each & maybe their last real hope. Keys , Badosa , Paolina , Muchova. Near everyone is aware of Muchova , 20 -7. Win /lss this year and I heard on TV the ONLY WTA player with more winners than errors..... ps - agree with Ostapenko , one of my faves to watch.

Merry Christmas Re Collins, I did watch your interview with her, and yes it did change my opinion of her on-court persona for the positive. And then she, and Navarro behaved liked spoilt, entitled brats at the Olympics. Basically playing up to the negative stereotype that Americans expect to be treated better than other nations whilst retaining a limited education. I have avoided their matches since. Just a personal preference.
