User:Popsiclesare/Women's tennis rivalries

In tennis history, there have been a number of famous group rivalries where three or four women have dominated in terms of rankings and tournament victories. Many of these rivalries have come in different waves, such as the 'Big Four' of women's tennis who have been dominant through the 2010s.

Big Four
The Big Four consisting of Serena Williams, Victoria Azarenka, Maria Sharapova, and Li Na have largely dominated women's tennis since 2011, with each woman having won at least 2 Grand Slam titles. Combined, the four players have won 9/13 (69%) of the Grand Slams, 9/14 (64%) of Premier Mandatory tournaments and 10/16 (63%) of Premier 5 events, the major events in the WTA Tour. Also, they have also won 2/3 (67%) of the WTA Tour Championships and took out all the medals in the 2012 Olympic Games.
