New statistic shows Venus Williams to be most powerful WTA Player

by

The WTA recently introduced a new statistic called the “Power Index.” The purpose of the statistic is to see how powerful the women’s game has become, and to compare the power of different players. According to AHN:

The stat is figured by combining a player’s fastest groundstroke (forehand or backhand), first and second serves, first and second serve returns and smash or volley into one score.

The statistic was first measured at the Acura Cup last week and showed Venus to be the most powerful women player with a 94.5 mph average of the measured strokes.

The top four players were as follows:

1. Venus Williams 94.5 mph
2. Maria Kirilenko 92.7 mph
3. Victoria Azarenka 92.3 mph
4. Maria Sharapova 90.5 mph
