WTA Ranking Update after US Open: Aryna Sabalenka cuts Iga Swiatek's lead as Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro rise

With the US Open now over, the WTA Ranking has been updated and Iga Swiatek's gap has been cut but the champion, Aryna Sabalenka who adds a second Grand Slam title of the season.

Swiatek has 10,885 points at the moment. Still very much insurmountable in the context of others with Sabalenka sat on 8,716. But it solidifies not only the Belarusian in second, a spot she took recently from Coco Gauff but also means she will likely challenge Swiatek going forward.

Jessica Pegula who lost in the final jumped three spots to a career high ranking of World No.3. She is also now the out and out American No.1 with Coco Gauff sliding. Elena Rybakina did not go down despite the Kazakh losing in the second round. Jasmine Paolini also remains as World No.5.

Coco Gauff slipped to World No.6. While Emma Navarro was the leading story outside the main three. Another breakthrough season has seen the 23-year-old move up to World No.8 for the first time. She reached the semi-finals in New York.

Anna Kalinskaya not only celebrated boyfriend Jannik Sinner winning the men's title. But also the Russian now sits World No.14 in a new career high after making the third round. While Diana Shnaider perhaps has more chance of making the top 10 quicker. She sits in World No.16 but is a player firmly on the rise. While Jessica Bouzas Maneiro (#60), Erika Andreeva (#68) and Harriet Dart (#70) also all attain new career highs.
