WTA Top 10 By Birth Year Updated

The WTA Top 10 by Birth Year page has been updated with the rankings data after Wimbledon.  The early 80s have stopped surrendering top 100 spots to those born in the early 90s, but the 90s is seeing more parity with '90 and '91 losing spots to '92 and '93.  In the last compilation, 24 women in the top 100 were born in '90 or '91 compared to now only 18, while those born in '92 or later has increased from 16 to 23.

Here is the breakdown of players in the WTA top 100 by birth year:

1970 - 1
1980 - 2
1981 - 2
1982 - 6
1983 - 3
1984 - 5
1985 - 7
1986 - 7
1987 - 12
1988 - 8
1989 - 8
1990 - 11
1991 - 7
1992 - 6
1993 - 8
1994 - 4
1995 - 2
1996 - 1

I have a couple comments about those numbers on the Top 10 by Birth Year page, but feel free to draw your own conclusions and comment if you want.  Here are the 13 players that entered or left the top 100 since the week after Miami, which was the last time I ran these stats.  It is a little unusual to see so many higher ranked women in the list, usually it tops out around #70.
