The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) has released its latest rankings, marking a significant shift at the top. Polish tennis sensation Iga Świątek has relinquished her 12-month reign as world number one, ceding the spot to Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka, currently competing without national representation, assumes the top ranking, while Świątek drops to second place.
Other notable changes within the top 10 include:
– Daria Kasatkina’s triumph at the Ningbo tournament propelled her to ninth place, marking her entry into the top 10.
– American Danielle Collins slipped to 11th, falling out of the top 10.
This development comes on the heels of Jannik Sinner’s historic victory over Carlos Alcaraz in the Six Kings Slam exhibition tournament, securing the largest prize money in tennis history.
Key Points:
– Aryna Sabalenka becomes new world number one
– Iga Świątek drops to second place
– Daria Kasatkina enters top 10 after Ningbo tournament win
– Danielle Collins falls to 11th place
– WTA rankings updated
The shake-up in the rankings sets the stage for an exciting conclusion to the WTA season, as players vie for positions and prestige.
