Women’s Tennis Could Be On the Verge of Another Golden Era

Summer fades into fall. The U.S. Open sharpens its focus. We have a mailbag...

Seeing Muchová, Cîrstea, and Gauff (among MANY others) all showing both power and ludicrous finesse depending on the moment, I'm tempted to believe we're in another golden era in women's tennis. It is getting harder and harder to single out the best current players to never win a slam among worthy contenders, while the high scores of many players' tennis IQs and completeness of shot-making arsenals are a sight to behold. Arguably the women's game is more watchable than the men's and, for what it's worth, the retirement of ultra dominant, once-in-a-generation players such as Serena Williams has ushered in a worthy sequel of styles, personalities and depth on tour. Why are we seeing what prospective sponsors can't? The product is off the charts these days (and has been for several years running!).

Thanks for considering,
