US Open women’s singles seeds confirmed: Iga Swiatek top, Aryna Sabalenka edges out Coco Gauff
Aryna Sabalenka will be seeded above Coco Gauff at the 2024 US Open, while Iga Swiatek will be the top seed for the 11th Grand Slam tournament in a row.
Swiatek, a five-time major winner, maintains a significant lead at the top of the WTA Rankings and has been the No 1 seed at every Grand Slam since the 2022 French Open.
Gauff was seeded second at a major for the first time in her career at Wimbledon last month, but she will be the No 3 seed for her US Open title defence.
The American lost the world No 2 position to Sabalenka after the Cincinnati WTA 1000 event, where the Belarusian star secured the title. Gauff was the defending champion in Cincinnati but lost her opening match this year.
Swiatek and Sabalenka can, therefore, not meet until the US Open final, while Gauff could land on either side of the draw
