The last few years of women's tennis have been a glorious free-for-all. The hole left by Serena Williams, who retired almost a year ago, was too big for any one competitor to fill. Instead, it felt like the entire tour upped their game in her absence, leading to some of the most entertaining tennis you'll se anywhere.
But three women have started singling themselves out. The three reigning Grand Slam champions — Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, and Elena Rybakina — have essentially lived in the final rounds over the past year. They've won a combined seven titles in 2023, and it's only May. Whether it's on the tour or at a Grand Slam, chances are at least one of them makes it to the quarterfinals or farther. And that means Swiatek, Sabalenka, and Rybakina have started to play each other more often.
While a women's Big Three is an attractive narrative, the sheer amount of talent on the women's tour may not allow it to become a reality. The rest of the top 10 isn't a group of also-rans, any of them could win a Grand Slam at any time. It's hard to build a narrative when everything is so unpredictable, and maybe that's for the best. Narratives are boring, and women's tennis definitely isn't that.
