1Q BSA's: The Most Interesting Tour in the World, Pt.1

One thing the WTA can never be accused of is being boring and ordinary. Taking the "scenic route" is never an exception. It's a rule.



High drama. Low insults. Quality play. Craziness. Rising stars. Fabled veterans. Newcomers galore. Comebacks. Falls. Matches that turn on a dime. Controversies that will not die. And players with hearts that won't let them give up. Everything seems to be haphazardly tossed into a bag sometimes, but there is no denying that when they're all mixed together they produce an entity that simply demands attention.

Make no mistake about it, by hook or by crook, the women's tennis tour is, well, the most interesting tour in the world.


It's (already!) time for a look back at the first quarter of action in the 2016 season. First up, in what is essentially a "Ms.Backspin" quarter post update, the players whose accomplishments carried the day through the first four months...

*1Q Awards - Weeks 1-13*
**TOP PLAYERS**
1. Victoria Azarenka, BLR
...the road back was longer and bumpier than anticipated, but the 1st Quarter of 2016 has given us the gift of the return of the real Vika. In three months, she's gone 22-1, won three titles (her first since 2013) and posted wins over the current #1 (Serena Williams), #2 (Angelique Kerber) and #4 (Garbine Muguruza) ranked players in the world. Meanwhile, she's climbed from outside the Top 20 back into the Top 5 with the same sort of success-craving edginess that originally gave an air of verisimilitude to the notion a few seasons ago that she was capable of becoming Serena's one true rival in the closing stages of the (now) 21-time slam champ's career.
===============================================
2. Angelique Kerber, GER
...armed with a more aggressive approach, Kerber saved a match point in the 1st Round and then went on a roll in Melbourne that didn't end until she'd won the Australian Open by handing Serena Williams her first loss in a three-set slam final, becoming the first German to win a major since Steffi Graf in 1999. After a period of adjustment that saw her results sag, Kerber rebounded in Miami with a semifinal run (ended by Azarenka in their third match-up of the year, after the Brisbane final and AO QF) that allowed her to end the quarter at #2 in the rankings (and here, as well).
===============================================
3. Martina Hingis & Sania Mirza, SUI/IND
...the Dreamers left 2015 in untouchable form, and their level of play maintained that high standard into the spring of '16. They won their third straight slam crown in Melbourne and extended their winning streak to eight straight titles and forty-one matches before finally falling in Doha. The co-#1's suffered an immediate hangover during the Indian Wells/Miami swing of the schedule, falling in the 2nd Round in both events while their closest competitor -- world #3 Bethanie Mattek-Sands -- won titles at both tournaments. They still lead by 4770 points in the rankings, though.
===============================================

4. Dutch Fed Cup Team
...even team Captain Paul Haarhuis said it would take a "miracle" for his Dutch Fed Cup squad, without a Top 100 player, to take down the Russians in Moscow the Fed Cup 1st Round. Well. What happened was quite possibly the biggest upset in FC history, as a Russian roster Captained by a former slam winner (Anastasia Myskina), sporting two former slam champs (Svetlana Kuznetsova and Maria Sharapova, the latter of which who didn't play after showing up following a threat by the Russian Tennis Federation that she might lose her Olympic spot if she didn't -- of course, that would turn out to be the least of her problems a few weeks later), a multiple slam semifinalist (Ekaterina Makarova) and the fastest-rising teenager on tour (Daria Kasatkina) soon found itself down 2-0 after Kuznetsova lost a Fed Cup record 4:00 match to Richel Hogenkamp. Sveta was called upon to play the FIRST match of Day 2, as well. Not surprisingly, with little left to give, she went down and out in straight sets to Kiki Bertens as the Dutch team clinched their eighth straight FC tie to advance to the nation's first FC semifinal since 1997.
===============================================
5. Aga Radwanska, POL
...Radwanska continued to float above the clouds in the Asia/Oceania region, carrying over her late '15 run by winning a Week 1 title in Shenzhen (her third straight going back to last season) and reaching the Australian Open semifinals. With four SF+ results in five events on the season, Aga climbed as high as the #2 ranking (matching the career-high she first set in '12 after reaching the Wimbledon final).
===============================================
6. Serena Williams, USA
...while her 1Q was a "disappointment" for her, MOST players on tour would be more than ecstatic with appearances in the Australian Open and Indian Wells finals, and would be content with a Round of 16 result in Miami, as well. But for Serena it constitutes a "concerning" four-event title drought that began with her U.S. Open semifinal loss to Roberta Vinci in September. The tentative hand-wringing may be a slight overreaction, but after going 18-2 in three-set matches a season ago, Williams stands at 0-2 in '16. Of course, she could STILL end up finishing '16 18-2 in three-setters, couldn't she? Truthfully, no one would be surprised if she did.
===============================================
7. Chan Hao-Ching & Chan Yung-Jan, TPE/TPE
...on the heels of claiming the deciding doubles for Taiwan in Fed Cup zone play (winning promotion from Asia/Oceania I), the sisters reeled off back-to-back title runs in Kaohsiung and Doha.

===============================================
8. The Italians
...the Italians may have failed to return to the FC semifinals (losing to France), but in the weeks after -- specifically Weeks 6-7 -- they staged a brief takeover of the WTA tour. In St.Petersburg, Vinci won her biggest career title and became the oldest (33) woman to make her Top 10 singles debut. A week later, Sara Errani grabbed HER biggest career crown in Dubai and returned to the Top 20 AND 35-years young Francesca Schiavone, who'd fallen in AO qualifying and didn't match Ai Sugiyama's tour record for consecutive slam main draw appearances (62), became the fourth-oldest WTA singles champion in the Open era with a title run in Rio. Meanwhile, retired U.S. Open champ Flavia Pennetta has maintained her Top 20 ranking all season long.
===============================================
9. Czech Fed Cup Team
...Petra Kvitova (a shocking 0-2) didn't provide a singles win in the effort, but Karolina Pliskova picked up the slack by having a hand in all three points in a tight 3-2 1st Round win over Romania, teaming with Barbora Strycova in the deciding doubles to send the two-time defending champion Maidens into an eighth straight semifinal. It's been twenty-one years since a nation three-peated as Fed Cup champs, when the Arantxa/Conchita-led Spanish squad dominated the competition from 1993-95.
===============================================
10. Anabel Medina-Garrigues & Arantxa Parra-Santonja, ESP/ESP
...it took two thirtysomething Spaniards to replace Timea Bacsinszky as the Queen of Mexico, and AMG & APS were the ones who did it by sweeping the doubles titles in both Acapulco and Monterrey
===============================================

=ALSO NOMINATED=
French Fed Cup Team: the Garcia-led, Mauresmo-Captained Pastries once again knocked off the Italians to reach a second straight FC semi
Bethanie Mattek-Sands, USA: with different partners, BMS swept Indian Wells (Vandeweghe) & Miami (Safarova)
Sloane Stephens, USA: her feast-or-famine campaign has included TWO title runs in Auckland and Acapulco, but precious little else
Swiss Fed Cup Team: Bencic's singles (def. Kerber & Petkovic) and doubles (w/ Hingis) efforts led the Swiss past Germany to their first semi since 1998 (yes, Martina was on that team, too)
Carla Suarez-Navarro, ESP: once again, the WTA's Spanish achievers come in a set of two. In the 1Q, CSN notched career win #400, climbed to a career-high of #6 and won her biggest title in Doha

=AND SHE SHOULD BE MENTIONED, TOO...=
Daria Kasatkina, RUS: look out, here she comes. The 2014 RG girls champ has been a teenager on the go since last summer. Her '15 U.S. Open 3rd Round run as a lucky loser kicked off a seven-month stretch that has seen her rise from the #370's at the end of the '14 season to #72 one year later. She won her first tour doubles title at the Kremlin Cup last fall, opened '16 by notching her first career Top 10 win in Auckland by upsetting none other than Venus Williams. In her second career slam MD, she began things by putting out #27 seed Anna Karolina Schmiedlova, leading to another 3rd Round slam result in Melbourne. She had a hand in Russia's only point (in doubles) in the 1st Round loss to the Netherlands, helped (w/ Vesnina, her Moscow title-winning partner) end Hingis/Mirza's 41-match winning streak in Doha, and was the best Hordette in the field as she reached the St.Petersburg semis back home in Russia. In Indian Wells, she had her best Premier effort by advancing to the QF. Now ranked in the Top 35, Kasatkina has already opened the 2Q by putting up her 100th pro singles match win. And she seems to be just getting started.
