Undoubtedly, Tennis is one of the most popular sports. A recent update shows a new list of the top 10 female athletes to be googled the most. However, what’s truly unique is that the top 3 players are from tennis. Famous names like Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff are ahead of the others. Not only that, but even the bottom two are from tennis.
This is a significant step up for WTA and its players. There have always been famous players like Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova. However, it is rare to see so many athletes from the same sport trending on Google simultaneously.

19-year-old Coco Gauff seems to have piqued every tennis fan’s interest. She hasn’t played for long, but her fan following has grown substantially this year. 2023 has been fantastic for Gauff’s career as she achieved some incredible feats. Her win against Swiatek helped her get much attention from avid fans. On the other hand, the World’s No.1, Iga Swiatek seems to have acquired the first spot alongside her name. The Cincinnati Open was equally beneficial to make these two gain so much attention.
Another name that was following behind these two was that of Emma Raducanu. Raducanu was placed at the third spot in this list, deservingly so. Even stars like Naomi Osaka and Jessica Pegula marked their appearance at the bottom of the list.
