Sabalenka snatches number one spot from Swiatek, ending her great streak
To the surprise of many, this Monday's update of the women's ranking has placed Aryna Sabalenka in the top spot, marking the second occasion in which the Belarusian surpasses Iga Swiatek. Due to a correction in the points based on the players' participation in the WTA 500 tournaments, the Polish player loses the first position, breaking her impressive streak of weeks at the top of the list. Both will face another penalty for not playing in Tokyo, but it will be the same, ensuring an intense and exciting battle until the end of the year.
Aryna Sabalenka is back to #1 in the world.
