WTA Birth Year Top 10 - 2016 Year End

This is an interesting list that was fairly easy to compile given the sortable nature the WTA rankings.  It shows the top 10 for every birth year.  It can used to track a player's progress up the rankings among their "peers" or same age group.  I am keeping this 2016 year end list around for comparison.  This list covers everyone in the WTA rankings database on their website (birth years 1970-1999), which includes the top 1300 players.

Comments:  Here is a list of the average ranking of the top 10 players from each birth year with the number of top 100 players in parentheses.  An asterisk indicates that year includes less than 10 ranked players.
