Earlier this week we rolled out our Top 20 Men’s Doubles Power Rankings, which transitioned to individuals rather than partnerships.
Since doubles pairings are fluid and have been shaken up due to injuries, we figured this will provide a more realistic viewpoint of who the best women’s doubles players are in the world right now.
These rankings are a subjective view of the entire pro field. Here are some of the factors taken into consideration:
- Recent finishes (specifically 2024 results)
- PPA Points
- APP Points
- Head-to-head competition
- Number of events played
- Injuries
The women’s field is even a little more difficult to rank than the men because of the PPA and APP gap. Obviously the PPA Tour has more talent and the field is deeper, but how much deeper is the question. I did my best to balance the level of difficulty on each tour along with consistent finishes.
On the Outside Looking in
- Jessie Irvine – Irvine is the epitome of consistency on the APP Tour, literally always finishing 7th or 8th with multiple partners. While she is consistent, she needs a semifinal run or two in order to make the list.
- Jackie and Jade Kawamoto – It is wild to me that I had to leave the Kawamoto sisters off the list, but they only have one medal between them this year on the PPA…
