Ranking scenarios for Gauff after US Open with return to top five confirmed no matter what
WTASunday, 10 September 2023 at 17:40
America’s young tennis star Coco Gauff is on the verge of achieving
another milestone in the US Open 2023.
The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year is moving
towards its conclusion where remaining players are still battling it out to
secure the ultimate prize.
Gauff has booked her place in the final of the mega-event after
defeating Czech Republic’s Karolina Muchova in straight sets with a score of
6-4, 7-5.
She is now set to face off the newly-crowned world number one
Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka in the final at the Flashing Medows.
While all the eyes will be on the result, Gauff will also be
looking at how it will impact the WTA rankings as well.
In case of a win, the Atlanta-born will go as high as third
in the WTA rankings whereas a defeat will keep her in fifth place.
It will be interesting to see how Gauff will perform in her second
appearance in the final of a Grand Slam after finishing runner-up in the French
Open 2022 where she came second-best against the former world number one Poland’s
Iga Swiatek with a score of 6-1, 6-3.

- Someone is not enjoying her gradual slide down the rankings, which became noticeable last season. BTW: That reporter's on to something familiar -- the effects of Social Media Stardom on one's Second Priority (Tennis). Shades of Bouchard, Giorgi, Raducanu, etc.mandoist03-09-2026
- Sabalenka seems so unhappy. When you get angry after every mistake you make on court, you’ve got some issues sweetie! She also does seem to be “partying” a lot if you follow her social media (I don’t lolol). Very immature personality.DaveyWavey03-09-2026
- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026
