WTA Rankings Update: Sublime Sabalenka closes on Swiatek as Gauff returns to World No.3

Monday, 14 October 2024 at 09:00

Aryna Sabalenka raises her arms at Wuhan 2024.

Aryna Sabalenka continues to close in on the Year End Number One spot and usurping Iga Swiatek in the race in the WTA Rankings which have been updated after the Wuhan Open which the Belarusian won.

Sabalenka sits only 69 points behind Swiatek and will no doubt overtake her potentially at the WTA Finals with both players not scheduled to play again until the showpiece in a few weeks time.

It was a similar equation last year albeit the other way as Swiatek overtook Sabalenka's short reign at the top. But it has seen the emergence of the leading duo with Coco Gauff who rose this week very distant in third nearly 3,000 points back. The American at one point in New York was in danger of becoming US Number Three and was overtaken by Jessica Pegula in the end for that third spot.

But after successful runs in Beijing and now Wuhan, she sits in World Number Three again. She has bumped down Pegula to World Number 4. Albeit Jasmine Paolini is more likely to fight for that spot than Elena Rybakina ahead of her with the Kazakh not playing for some time. Beatriz Haddad Maia further down returns to World Number 10 for the first time since June 2023. She displaces Barbora Krejcikova who falls to World No.13.

Anna Kalinskaya also rises too with the Russian going up to World Number 12. After being injured most of last season, her ranking can only really rise until the Australian Open where she defends her Quarter-Final run. Magdalena Frech moves up to a new career high of World No.24.

Xinyu Wang after a great week in Wuhan also rises to World Number 39, up 12 spots. While Leylah Fernandez is one of the big losers going down to World No.34 down six spots. Laura Siegemund too is down 21 spots to World No.89.
