Coco Gauff not defending her US Open title spells trouble for the American who now has a ranking plummet to deal with out of the top five after only being World No.2 a number of months ago.

Gauff lost out to Emma Navarro last night in the Last 16 of the 2024 US Open 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 in favour of her compatriot and as a result, she does not defend her winners points from last year and slumps.

Albeit the likelihood of her falling further depends on perhaps Navarro or Qinwen Zheng. The latter is still in action against Donna Vekic in a super late start but if she wins the title she will jump the American and go up to 4th.

But as it stands, Gauff still holds over a 1,000 lead over the Chinese ace. While Emma Navarro who won the tie could yet find herself on 5,000+ points for winning the Grand Slam and move up past Gauff.

Navarro is already set for a top 10 debut and with a tight number of points surrounding her, a win over Paula Badosa could catapult her further up the rankings. Further up in the live rankings, Jasmine Paolini already is set for a career high. Then back down, Anna Kalinskaya and Diana Shnaider just outside the top 10 are also set for best results next week.
