Swiatek falls behind in the fight for the number 1 spot in the WTA ranking with Sabalenka

The defeat in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2025 by Iga Swiatek has clear consequences in the battle for the number 1 spot in the WTA ranking. The Polish player had a great opportunity to narrow the gap with Aryna Sabalenka, but she won't be able to do so. In fact, if the Belarusian ends up winning the title, she will have an advantage of almost 3,500 points, a margin that would make it very difficult for Iga to threaten her position at the top of the rankings by the end of the year.
