Coco Gauff keeps number two spot in WTA rankings after Aryna Sabalenka's defeat in Canadian Open quarterfinal
WTAMonday, 12 August 2024 at 14:00
America’s
young tennis star Coco Gauff has managed to keep her number two spot in WTA
rankings, despite having a disappointing outing in the Canadian Open. The
20-year-old is already regarded as one of the best players currently playing in
women’s tennis in the singles category.
Gauff is
currently placed second of the WTA rankings. However, she was in danger of
losing the spot after having a poor outing in the Canadian Open where she was knocked
out of the mega-event after losing in the second round to Russia’s Diana
Shnaider in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-1.
That was
down to world number three Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka who lost in the quarterfinal
of the Canadian Open to Amanda Anisimova in straight sets with a score of 6-4,
6-2. As things stand, Gauff remains second in the WTA rankings with 7,703
points whereas Sabalenka is placed third with 7,256 points. Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan
remains fourth in the WTA rankings with 6,376 points. Overall,
Gauff has been going through mixed campaign. Out of the three Grand Slams, she
has managed to play in the semifinal of two but has failed to go all the way
and win any mega-event. She was knocked out from the Australian Open after
losing in the semifinal to Sabalenka in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-4.
At the French Open, she came second-best in the semifinal against world number one
Iga Swiatek in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-4. At Wimbledon, Gauff’s
journey ended in the fourth round as she lost to fellow American Emma Navarro
in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-3. Gauff, before taking part in the
Canadian Open, represented Team USA at the Paris Olympics and participated in
the singles, doubles and mixed doubles categories. However, she failed to win
any medal for her country.
