The diversity of different champions throughout the season has not served to camouflage a very clear fact for a former tennis player who reached number 5 in the world. As many people from both the men's and women's circuits believe, tennis has become standardized, a balance that may result in less attention from the public.

This is the complaint made by Anna Chakvetadze, a former Russian tennis player who makes it clear that the level has equalized a lot today compared to her era, although she expresses her admiration for the figures that reign on the courts today.

"I feel that the WTA circuit has become more level in general than before," said Anna Chakvetadze, former world number 5, in an interview with Tennis365. "Of course, there are players who clearly stand out for their physical qualities and athleticism: Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, and Coco Gauff are exceptional players and very interesting to watch."

The level of the WTA circuit: better or worse?

"But, overall, the circuit has become more level than before. At the same time, I would say that it has become a bit less diverse in terms of playing styles compared to my era. Has it become more physical? Possibly, but, above all, everything feels more balanced," said the former Russian player. "Personally, I would love to see more creative players again: more variety of styles and more individuality on the circuit."

About the possible return of Serena Williams

"Serena is a legend of our sport and one of the greatest champions in history. If she ever decides to return, it will undoubtedly be something very special for tennis. In individual matches, especially on big stages, she can still look very competitive, but a full tournament, especially the two-week Grand Slam, is a completely different challenge.

The key question is how the body responds to that kind of physical demand over time. If she returns, I am sure it will only be for something truly meaningful to her. She has achieved everything in tennis, and her legacy is already untouchable."
