WTA Rankings Update: Raducanu jumps 127 spots while Fernandez jumps 45 spots after US Open

The 2021 US Open has truly been an event of teenagers as we saw two of them battle it out in the final and both were rewarded for their efforts with a significant jump on the rankings. But let's start at the top. There were only minor changes at the top as Barbora Krejcikova moved up to number 7 and Bianca Andreescu dropped down to number 20. Maria Sakkari moved up to 13, as well as Ons Jabeur who is now 18 and Coco Gauff who is 19.

Emma Raducanu broke a world record by securing 2040 points in the past 14 days earning herself a jump of 127 spots (another record) on the rankings to number 23. Even if Raducanu defends her US Open title next week she will still lose 40 points earner by reaching the event from the qualifiers. Leylah Fernandez also made a significant jump (45 spots) to number 28. In total 16 players reached a new career-high and they will be listed in the next paragraph.
