Iga Swiatek is the top-ranked player on the Wta Tour, and according to the former coach of Emma Raducanu, Nigel Sears, she's the most complete player.
Swiatek has been the best player in the world for over a year now. She was largely unchallenged last year winning 30+ matches in a row as well as two Grand Slam trophies. Swiatek was simply unstoppable, and while that hasn't been the case this year, she's still ahead of Aryna Sabalenka who is her closest challenger .
The Belarusian nearly dethroned Swiatek at Wimbledon but losing to Jabeur proved costly ensuring that the Polish player will be at the top for a few more weeks. Her reign has been shaky this year with both Sabalenka and Rybakina beating her on a tennis court and reducing the gap on the rankings as well.

Exclusive: Teddy Sears (American Horror Stories) and Tamberla Perry (All-American: Homecoming) have landed roles in the NBC medical drama pilot Wolf starring Zachary Quinto.
From writer/executive producer Michael Grassi, Wolf is inspired by the books The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks. It follows a revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist, Dr. Oliver Wolf (Quinto), and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier, the human mind, while also grappling with their own relationships and mental health.
Sears will play Dr. Josh Nichols, a neurosurgeon who left a private practice in San Francisco to work at Bronx General. Josh is clinical, exacting and relies on technology to treat his patients — the opposite of Wolf. The two will go toe-to-toe and develop a competitive relationship full of tension.
Perry will play Dr. Carol Pierce, the head of psychology at Bronx...

It was a week full of news, from the looming Donald Trump indictment through the Nashville school shooting. Or as Bill Maher put it on Friday’s Real Time, “March came in like a lion, and went out with Trump on the lam.”
Maher was obviously delighted that Trump, one of his favorite targets, had a real bad week. He noted the irony of “the most boastful man in history is indicted by a man named Bragg.” Also ironic: “He spent his whole life stiffing people, and the one time he pays them….”
Maher was ready to spar Friday, and for once, he had panelists ready to push back. The show started with Republican Governor of New Hampshire Chris Sununu, who admitted that the Trump indictment is “an absolute circus.” Sununu, although a loyal Republican, voiced that he didn’t think Trump will be the GOP nominee in 2024, saying that...
