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.

AceOfBase17-09-2024 - FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
- And this is such a shock to WTA?? How many times are they (WTA & ATP) going to keep stepping in their own s*** ???mandoist15-09-2024
