Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Marketa Vondrousova, and Karolina Muchova were the major beneficiaries in the WTA Ranking following the conclusion of the US Open.

After the last Grand Slam of the year, the points distributed by the WTA caused significant changes in the rankings. The primary beneficiary was Aryna Sabalenka, who, despite losing in the tournament's final, became the new world No. 1 after Iga Swiatek did not defend her title.

The second significant beneficiary was Coco Gauff, the standout champion of the week, who secured her first Grand Slam title at the age of 19. She earned 2000 points, propelling her to the world No. 3 ranking, just behind Sabalenka and Swiatek.

The top 10 also witnessed notable changes due to the impressive performances of the Czech players Marketa Vondrousova and Karolina Muchova, both of whom had outstanding seasons and made significant strides in the rankings.

Vondrousova, as the Wimbledon champion and now a quarterfinalist at the US Open, climbed three positions to reach world No. 6.

Her compatriot Muchova advanced from world No. 10 to No. 8, surpassing Maria Sakkari and Caroline Garcia in the rankings. These shifts reflect the dynamic nature of women's tennis and the impact of their remarkable achievements during the tournament.

Another player who achieved her career-best ranking is Italian Jasmine Paolini. Despite her first-round exit, she didn't have points to defend, and several players who lost points ended up behind her.

Two other notable performers were young 21-year-olds: American Peyton Stearns, who reached the fourth round and moved from world No. 55 to No. 44.

On the other hand, Chinese player Xinyu Wang, also 21 years old, made it to the fourth round and climbed 14 spots in the rankings to reach world No. 39. She became the third Chinese player in the top 50, joining Lin Zhu and Qinwen Zheng.

These rankings changes reflect the impact of their performances at the US Open and highlight the promising talent emerging in women's tennis, with players from various countries making strides in the rankings.
