Only 69 points separate the leader of the WTA world rankings, Iga Swiatek, and Aryna Sabalenkaafter he won the Wuhan tennis tournament.
Sabalenka’s good moments and Swiatek’s absence from the circuit since the last US Open, focused on rebuilding his team after the departure of his coach Tomasz Wiktorowski, which led to the Belarusian approach to the top of the general table, and her leadership of the Race to the WTA Finals in Riyadh, in a misunderstanding rarely seen in recent tennis history.
Coco Gauff, semi-finalist in Wuhan, is now third in the ranking, after surpassing her compatriot Jessica Pegula.
Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia gained two positions and returned to the top 10, equaling his best position ever.
In its part, Paula Badosa continues to progress through the table and climb another stepuntil the fourteenth.
Big gains for the week were experienced by Chinese Xinyu Wang (39, +12) and Americans Bernarda Pera (79, +16) and Hailey Baptiste (80, +22).
