Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka regains her place as world number 1, according to the WTA rankings published today, and dethrones Polish Iga Swiatek who had occupied the top spot since November 2023.
Sabalenka had briefly held the top spot in the rankings for eight weeks in September and October 2023, before Swiatek reclaimed the throne of women’s tennis. Third is the American Coco Gauff.
Neither of the top two played last week, but Swiatek dropped more points (-120) than Sabalenka (-10). The Russian Daria Kasatkina, victorious on Sunday in the WTA 500 in Ningbo (China), returns to the top 10 (9/a) for the first time since July 2023. The best of the Italians confirms Jasmine Paolini, who retains sixth position.
