“After Novak-Rafa retirement.. men tennis will be like women tennis,” Diversity in women’s Major winners as compared to men’s has fans stunned

As Aryna Sabalenka wins her first-ever Australian Open title today, the comparison between the men’s and women’s Grand Slams comes to the surface. The 2023 champion defeated reigning Wimbledon winner, Elena Rybakina in a thrilling match to lift the  Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup. The Belarusian won the title in three sets, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.

Following the final, Sabalenka becomes the 16th woman, born after 1988, to win a Grand Slam. The stats are astonishing compared to men’s tennis. The disparity is even more apparent as only three men born after 1988 have won a major. Fans expressed their reactions to the record, praising the Big 3 trio as well as Andy Murray.

Only Dominic Thiem, Daniil Medvedev, and Carlos Alcaraz are among those. Moreover, all three have only won the US Open, which is, according to fans, the ‘easiest’ one. The playing ground has been fiercely dominated by Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray. In contrast, 16 different women, born after 1988, have won majors.

Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions online, here’s what fans have to say:

It will be admirable to see who else can overcome the dominance of the Big 3 among men and win a Grand Slam championship. All eyes are on Tsitsipas as he attempts to clinch his first and mark his name in history. On the other hand, Djokovic is determined to surpass Nadal and break the record for most major wins.

A record total of 16 women born before 1988 have won Grand Slams, as Sabalenka wins the 2023 Australian Open

Sabalenka becomes the 16th woman on the list. Unlike men’s tennis, the women’s side has no clear dominant player. Other than the Belarusian, Kvitova, Azarenka, Muguruza, Ostapenko, Stephens, Wozniacki, Halep, Osaka, Barty, Andreescu, Kenin, Swiatek, Krejcikova, Raducanu, Rybakina, have won titles.

While the Big Three have displayed impressive feats throughout their careers, women’s tennis does not have many consistent players. Nevertheless, players like Serena Williams have made their mark in the sport and some like Margaret Court, who has won 24 Grand Slams have made exemplary achievements.
