Nicky in St Albans
In the past 10 years of Wimbledon, there have been only four different men’s winners, while the women’s tournament has had nine different champions.
Former world number five Daniela Hantuchova believes the spread of Grand Slam winners in women’s tennis is due to the strength of the overall field.
“I feel like the field is much stronger across the top 100 – the physicality has moved to another level,” said Hantuchova.
“It makes it so much more exciting on the women’s tour because we have so many different stories. It makes our sport even more entertaining and more exciting to watch.”
Former Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli says there is no standout player now, unlike when Serena Williams was dominant.
“The same as Steffi Graf, the same as Monica Seles or Billie-Jean King and Martina Navratilova and you can go down the list of all of the greats,” she said.
“When you have the chance of playing in the era of someone like Serena, it was a chance because she helped us to try to take our game to another level.
“That dominance factor, the same as trying to beat Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros, it just makes the rest of the field have fewer chances to become a champion.”
