The countdown continues! Alvin and Torrey move into the meat of the WTA Top 25 of the 2000s Era — players ranked 15 through 11. The conversation dives deep into what defined greatness in women’s tennis during this golden quarter-century: sustained excellence, comebacks, and the underrated brilliance of several multi-slam champions.
They revisit Victoria Azarenka’s intensity, Lindsay Davenport’s quiet dominance, Jennifer Capriati’s turbulent brilliance, Angelique Kerber’s counter-punching artistry, Ash Barty’s early exit on top, Naomi Osaka’s hard-court takeover, and Kim Clijsters’ timeless resurgence.
This episode captures not just stats but stories — how each player shaped the era and left a mark that can still be felt today.
