Stat of the Day-0-Number of slam wins for Katerina Siniakova in 2017.

Orange is the new black. Siniakova is the new Goerges. Actually, seeing her age and titles, she will be much better. But the blueprint for Siniakova was set by Goerges last year.

You see, Goerges reached the YEC last year in doubles. Only ranked 54 in singles at the time, I don't think there is any coincidence that she is having her best year in 6 years after going to the YEC, working and practicing with current #1 Pliskova, and then #1 and countrywoman in Kerber. Made the 4th rd for the first time in 11 slams, and only the 3rd in the last 19.

Siniakova is 8 years younger, but has a chance to make an even better boost. Ostapenko famously went from 0 slam wins last season, to 15 and a slam title. Siniakova should get to 10. Why? Because as #7 in the doubles race with Hradecka, she should get the same benefits Goerges got. And as someone that hasn't been past the 3rd rd of a slam, this is huge.

I would assume, that because of Fed Cup ties, she might get a chance to practice with Pliskova. Maybe she has some other connections too. But to be in that atmosphere is huge. She already has 2 titles this year, while Goerges has 2 for her career. It is likely that Siniakova will be top 20 at some point next year.

If you wonder why Siniakova and not Barty, it is big for her too, however Barty has a home slam and Hopman Cup in her country. For players from a non slam nation, it is even more important to see what the championship atmosphere really is like.
