Aryna Sabalenka continues to move forward in her desire to return to the top spot of the WTA rankings. Her magnificent Asian tour results in the Belarusian now being just 69 points away from Iga Swiatek, whose situation in this final stretch of the season is not very promising for her. Furthermore, Cori Gauff returns to the top 3 at the expense of Pegula, and Beatriz Haddad-Maia enters the world’s top 10, causing Barbora Krejcikova to drop out. Anna Kalinskaya (12), Magdalena Frech (24), and Rebeca Sramkova (53) achieve the best ranking of their sporting careers.
