With the final Grand Slam of the season now concluded, the US Open brought notable movement in the WTA Rankings, with Aryna Sabalenka retaining her spot at the top of women’s tennis. The Belarusian holds 11,225 points, comfortably ahead of Poland’s Iga Swiatek, who remains second with 7,933 points, and American rising star Coco Gauff in third on 7,874 points.
Sabalenka’s US Open triumph not only allowed her to defend her points from last year but also reinforced her dominance at the top of the sport. The 27-year-old displayed her trademark power and composure throughout the tournament, lifting the trophy after a 6-3, 7-6 (3) victory and solidifying her position as World No. 1.
The race for the remaining top spots continues to be fiercely competitive. Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff remain locked in an intense battle for the second position, having both demonstrated remarkable consistency and adaptability across the season. Amanda Anisimova was a notable mover, climbing five spots to fourth with 5,159 points. Her consistent performances this season, especially at Wimbledon and now in New York, reflect a player steadily consolidating her place among the elite. Meanwhile, 18-year-old Mirra Andreeva holds steady at fifth on 4,793 points, cementing her place among the sport’s rising stars.
Experienced Americans Madison Keys (6th) and Jessica Pegula (7th) continue to demonstrate their quality, though Pegula dropped three spots despite a solid performance in New York, as she was unable to match her US Open final run from last year. Italy’s Jasmine Paolini is eighth with 4,006 points, followed closely by China’s Qinwen Zheng in ninth with 4,003 points, who is undergoing surgery. Kazakh star Elena Rybakina rounds out the top 10 with 3,833 points, reflecting the balance of youth and experience at the top of the game.
Osaka and Filipino star Eala rise The post-US Open rankings have seen several notable risers, showcasing both the depth of the tour and the emergence of new talent. Notable performers included Naomi Osaka, who surged ten places to 14th with 2,489 points following a strong US Open semifinal run. Denmark’s Clara Tauson moved up two spots to 12th, while Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina also climbed two positions to 13th, proving that experience can still thrive alongside emerging talents.
Spain’s Cristina Bucșa makes the biggest leap this week, soaring 33 places to 62nd following a strong showing, making it to the round of 16. Her breakthrough underscores how a single strong performance at a Grand Slam can dramatically alter a player’s ranking trajectory, especially for those outside the top 50. Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic climbs 24 spots to 36th, while compatriot Barbora Krejcíkova jumps 22 places to 40th, underlining the resurgence of Czech talent in the women’s game.
Other notable movers include 18-year-old Tereza Valentova (+19 to 77th), the Philippines’ Alexandra Eala (+14 to 61st), as the Filipino won her first WTA title, claiming the Guadalajara 125 Open in a 1-6, 7-5, 6-3 battle against Panna Udvardy. Each of these players demonstrated remarkable determination, poise, and competitive spirit throughout the season, proving that the WTA tour is constantly being renewed by emerging stars.
Olympic silver medallist falls
Not all players enjoyed upward movement, and Croatia’s Donna Vekic endured one of the most dramatic falls among the top 100. The former Olympic runner-up who made it to the round of 16 last year only got to the second round this time around, causing her to plummet 19 places to 68th, accentuating the volatility and depth of the WTA field. This fall stresses the precarious nature of maintaining a top ranking and how even established players can experience steep declines due to the highly competitive environment of the WTA tour.
Other players experiencing significant drops include Romania’s Elena-Gabriela Ruse (-26 to 96th), Australia’s Ajla Tomljanovic (-12 to 91st), and Kamilla Rakhimova (-11 to 76th), highlighting just how quickly fortunes can change on the tour. Each of these cases illustrates how rankings can fluctuate sharply over the course of a single tournament, particularly when defending points from strong performances the previous year.
As the WTA rankings reset following the US Open, attention now turns to the autumn indoor swing, the WTA 1000 and 500 events, and the season-ending WTA Finals. Players like Sabalenka, Swiatek, and Gauff will be looking to consolidate their positions at the top, while others, such as Anisimova, Andreeva, and Osaka, aim to break the mould and showcase their strength.
Whereas those who fell face critical weeks ahead if they are to reclaim lost ground. With indoor tournaments and the WTA Finals approaching, the closing months of the season promise not just intense competition for year-end rankings but also opportunities for redemption, breakthroughs, and historical milestones. For fans, analysts, and players alike, the 2025 season continues to deliver intrigue, drama, and exceptional tennis at every level.
