My 2024 predictions were average – could have been better but definitely could have been worse! I didn’t get any correct positions but predicted seven of this year’s season-ending top ten. Before posting my predictions for 2025, let’s take a look back at what I said from last year’s post and how my predictions compared against reality.
I’m going once again for Zheng to crack the world’s top ten.
Persistence paid off! I actually underestimated Zheng as she cracked the world’s top five.
I think that Krejcikova will have a deep run in the singles at the French Open or Wimbledon.
Boom! A little woolly but Krejcikova did indeed have a deep run at Wimbledon as she won the title.
The big question – can Pegula break through the Slam quarter-final barrier? I’m saying yes! I would still be very surprised if Pegula actually won a Slam.
I’ll take this one as a win. Pegula did break through the Slam quarter-final barrier and was the runner-up at the US Open.
I think Osaka bags a Slam in 2024 and the WTA comeback of the year award.
Oh here we go downhill. I was high on Osaka and it didn’t really materialise. Osaka was nominated for the WTA comeback of the year award but didn’t win.
I still think there are some demons to contend with and overcome…
