75 weeks – that’s how long Iga Świątek’s reign in the WTA ranking lasted. It had been known for several days that she would not be able to maintain her leading position after the US Open, and on Monday the latest official update appeared. The Pole dropped to second place, and Aryna Sabalenka became the new leader. This is what the latest WTA ranking looks like.
Iga Świątek finished her participation in the US Open in the fourth round. She lost after a three-set fight against Jelena Ostapenko, which meant that she would not defend the title she won last year. This failure had another serious consequence. It was known that after the competition at Flushing Meadows, the Pole would no longer be the leader of the WTA ranking.

Świątek is no longer the leader of the WTA rankings. Sabalenka achieved her goal
The situation before the start of the last Grand Slam event of the season was clear. Świątek could stay at the top of the ranking, but only on one condition. She had to reach further than Aryna Sabalenka in the US Open. Meanwhile, the Belarusian reached the final, where she fought a three-set battle with Coco Gauff. Although she lost to the 19-year-old American, she achieved her goal in recent months.
Sabalenka officially became the new leader of the WTA ranking and ended the 75-week reign of our tennis player. The Belarusian has 9,266 points and can boast a quite large advantage over Świątek, whose achievements amount to 8,195 points. Gauff advanced to third place, achieving the best result in her career (6,165 points). There were also many other changes in the top ten. Czechs Marketa Vondrousova and Karolina Muchova also climbed to the highest places.
