If a few hours ago we analyzed how the ATP ranking looks at the end of the year 2024 in terms of nationalities, now it's time to find out about the women's. The WTA top-100 ranking has ended this season with the representation of up to 36 countries, more or less in line with previous years. At this point in the year, it is very interesting to see which nations can say they have at least one tennis player among the world's top 100. Let's see if it's as expected.
Well, United States is the country with the most players, specifically 17. The North American country has always had good numbers in women's tennis, especially now with one of the world's best: Coco Gauff. Next, Russia takes the second position with 12 players since it is also one of the major powerhouses in producing players like Kasatkina and Andreeva. Czech Republic with 7 players is also a good factory of tennis players, including Krejcikova and Muchova.
Tied with 5 players within the top-100 are China and Ukraine with Zheng as the main representative of Chinese tennis in the world. And Spain? In contrast to their male counterparts, the women have two fewer in that top-100, totaling 4. Paula Badosa, Bouzas, Bucsa, and Párrizas form the best Spanish representation at the end of 2024. They tie with France, followed by Poland, Italy, and Great Britain. What do you think? Did you expect any country to end the year with more players among the top 100?
