In December of the previous year, we requested your predictions for the year-end WTA Top 10 rankings in 2023. Today, John Bolan, our longstanding contest organizer, reveals the winner.
Our number one predictor is Ron Buckmire!
Ron did a tremendous job picking eight of the top ten finishers! With all the great players to choose from in 2023, he chose the best of the best. As a prize, we will send him Maria Sharapova’s autobiography “Unstoppable”.
Ron’s list:
1. Iga Swiatek
2. Aryna Sabalenka
3. Caroline Garcia
4. Ons Jabeur
5. Coco Gauff
6. Barbora Krejcikova
7. Jessica Pegula
8. Elena Rybakina
9. Veronika Kudermetova
10. Maria Sakkari

6. Ons Jabeur
7. Marketa Vondrousova
