Battle for World No.1 in WTA: Here are the scenarios for Swiatek v Sabalenka in Cincinnati and Montreal
WTAMonday, 07 August 2023 at 08:00
The WTA rankings might see a new leader as Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus will look to have another go to dethrone Poland’s Iga Swiatek.
The 22-year-old has been at the top of the ladder for quite some time but came close to losing it in Wimbledon 2023 after suffering an exit from the competition in the quarterfinals.
However, her closest rival Sabalenka, who just needed to book her place in the final of the event to become the world number one, lost the semifinal clash to Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur.
Now, the current world number two has a chance of dethroning Swiatek from the top spot in the upcoming WTA 1000 tournaments in Montreal and Cincinnati.
If the current world number one fails to reach beyond the quarterfinal stage of the upcoming event and the 25-year-old wins the competition, she will become the best women’s singles player in the world.

Sabalenka will be hoping that she will be able to achieve the top ranking before the start of the last Grand Slam of the year where she has a decent record, making it to the semifinals twice — in 2021 and in 2023.
On the other hand, Swiatek will be hoping that she will start the mega-event as the top-seeded player as she will be defending her crown in New York.

- Why do you even publish this TwatCaster's PATHETIC stunt for attention? There's plenty of reasons why imbeciles like him are 'talking' and people like Iga Swiatek are 'walking the walk'. Tennisuptodate should be above this tripe.

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
