In tennis 2014 has been all about potential change at the top of the game.

The stranglehold of the Big Four on the ATP World Tour continues to be threatened by other players in the top 20 who sense a way through. Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer won’t be pushed away easily, though, as shown by the fact that the three of them still hold the top three in the world rankings.

The other original Big Four component, Andy Murray, has had a trying year but still remains a threat at any Grand Slam, reaching the semi-finals at Roland Garros and the last eight at the other three majors.

We’ve had two new male Grand Slam champions in 2014, with Stan Wawrinka and Marin Cilic surprisingly winning in Australia and New York respectively. The Swiss world No. 4 defeated Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal on the way to the title, and the Croat had to get past Roger Federer at Flushing Meadows.

However, on the women’s side of proceedings, there have been no first-time Grand Slam winners in 2014.

Serena Williams has failed to be quite so dominating over the rest of the field, with a poor showing in the year’s first three majors. Yet she certainly countered any concerns with a thumping victory at the U.S. Open to claim Grand Slam No. 18.

Undoubtedly, Serena is still very much the driving force and powerhouse of the WTA Tour, but she isn’t going to be around perpetually, as she deepens into her 30s.

A space is going to open up for someone to push women’s tennis into the post-Williams generation. At the moment, it’s clearly wide open as to who is going to snatch that opportunity.
