Naomi Osaka is slated for a very mediocre 2nd half of 2021 and with the Japanese player defending a lot of poitns a projection sees her fall down to 8 by the year end.
Projections are never to be taken seriously as in life and tennis anything can happen at any time but statistical projections offer an insight into how a career of tennis players is evolving. Top form is something sustainable while struggles are also sustainable which means tennis players usually tend to have an up or down year.
According to projection done which took into account, form and the number of points players defended at upcoming events Naomi Osaka is set to be a big loser by year-end. The Japanese player is projected to finish the year 8th which is six spots below her current ranking. Barbora Krejcikova is the big gainer with the Czech player projected to finish 3rd (currently 11th).
Several other notable players are set to make high jumps and they are Maria Sakkari who is projected to finish 9th (from 19), Pavlyuchenkova 8th (from 18), Jabeur 11th (from 22), Gauff 14th (from 24) and Badosa 16(from 29). Ashleigh Barty is set to finish 1st ahead of Aryna Sabalenka. Check out the full breakdown below.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?mandoist09-11-2026
- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026
- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026
- Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
