The Athletic (Charlie Eccelshare) on the lack of proper rivalries in the WTA

Found this in an article in The Athletic about Sabalenka this morning. I don't really want to get into individual marketability discourse again, but I do think the point about the WTA not having a proper rivalry in a long time is correct. Right now it seems like we are at a breaking point with Swiatek-Sabalenka battling for No.1 while players like Gauff and Ryabkina are a step below but can beat the top 2 when they are on, but it all depends on the consistency of the tour over the next few years.
