WTA Race Update: Swiatek Dominates, Paolini & Krejcikova Make Massive Leap
The Pole suffered a shock third-round defeat at this year’s Wimbledon but has a 2564-point lead over second-placed Rybakina, who lost in the semifinal.
Swiatek remains the player who has amassed the most points (7465) and WTA titles (five) in the current season. Jasmine Paolini is the surprise new entrant into the top three after her unexpected run to the Wimbledon final.
Although the Italian was denied glory, she rose to a high of third in the race. The 28-year-old is also celebrating a career-high ranking of World No. 5 in the official WTA rankings.
Aryna Sabalenka will settle for fourth place despite withdrawing from the tournament on the opening day. Coco Gauff drops to fifth spot after losing to Emma Navarro in the fourth round of Wimbledon. Danielle Collins, meanwhile, retains sixth place.
