With the US Open upon us on Monday, the WTA Ranking has been updated for the final time ahead of the showpiece as Iga Swiatek hits another milestone. Linda Noskova and Emma Navarro also continue their rise.

Swiatek is the imperious World No.1 and will likely hit the next mark of 121 weeks held by her predecessor aside from Aryna Sabalenka's short stint at the top held by Ashleigh Barty. But she passes Justine Henin today for eighth most weeks as World No.1 in WTA Rankings history.

She will also spend her 118th and 119th weeks as World No.1 in New York. She goes into proceedings with a massive 2,679 point lead as World No.1. She has 10,695 points compared to 8,016 and 6,743 for Sabalenka and Gauff. Those players also have to defend heavy points hauls at the US Open.

A previous nemesis of Swiatek is Linda Noskova and she is one of the stars of this week's WTA Ranking Update. She won the Monterrey Open (Abierto GNP Seguros) and jumps to World No.25 surpassing her previous career high by one. Defeating Lulu Sun in the final, the Kiwi breaks the top 50 for the first time. Surging up to World No.41, it is months only after making her top 100 debut after reaching the Wimbledon Quarter-Final.

McCartney Kessler too has starred with the American going up to World No.63 after previously barely cracking the top 100. She had never reached a WTA Quarter-Final before either.

Also Emma Navarro continues to improve and is into a new career high of World No.12. She sits on the cusp of the top 10 after reaching the semi-finals and could surge into those higher echelons with a good display in New York. Ashlyn Krueger, Erika Andreeva, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro and Renata Zarazua all also made ranking rises.
