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.

- My money is simply on fatigue. She's not the compact 'muscle-man'-type like perhaps Sabalenka, Swiatek or Sakkari. She's a player desperately longing for some kind of Djokovic rhythm. She should skip lots to win more majors. And the rumour I thought wasn't it Long Covid?MrAndreeva10-05-2024
- If there is some other reason, like exhaustion or self-preservation by not playing in consecutive tourneys, then simply say so. There's no shame in self preservation. Since the WTA obviously does not seriously consider a player's physical and mental stress as they schedule back-to-back majors, it's okay to adhere to such a healthy agenda and admit it. The illness thing is kind of suspect at this point; if only because of the timing pattern.
mandoist10-05-2024 - So, Elena Rybakina has again withdrawn due to illness (in Rome). Fans are concerned if this is truly a gastrointestinal issue. Why the secrecy? Is it truly an illness causing these withdrawals? It may be helpful -- even encouraging -- for others whom also suffer whatever illness is ongoing here to know what she is dealing with; and how. A form of Colitis? Ulcers? What's up? Timing has been last minute. It's a bummer all around.mandoist10-05-2024
- Tennis is ridiculous to maintain the tradition of silence. If they can play in open courts like Rome with all the noise from each court they surely could survive cheering, etc., during play (i.e., a singles match with only a 2 meter fence between them and a men's doubles -- and very loud noise from each side).mandoist10-05-2024
