Two weeks of tennis in the Big Apple offer a lot and bring important conclusions in the WTA ranking. This is evident from the official classification issued after Aryna Sabalenka is crowned champion and Amanda Anisimova falls in the final. Significant changes in a list that will determine what may happen in upcoming events.
A world number 1 as solid as Aryna Sabalenka could not end a season without winning a Grand Slam title. She did it at the US Open 2025, reaffirming her status as the best player in the world in the WTA ranking by increasing her lead over Swiatek and Gauff, the main pursuers. Amanda Anisimova joins the celebration, exploring her limits after her great performance in this tournament, from which she must emerge strengthened and believing in herself for future major events.
- Sabalenka solidifies her eternal world number 1 position
It has been 54 consecutive weeks with the Belarusian at the top of the rankings and everything indicates that she will stay there for much longer. She leads Iga Swiatek by a staggering 3,292 points, a virtually insurmountable distance for the remainder of the year unless Sabalenka has any issues preventing her from competing in the remaining major events, especially the WTA Finals.
In addition to this farewell to any real fight for the number 1 spot, the rise in the rankings by Amanda Anisimova is remarkable, now placed at number 4, causing Jessica Pegula to drop three positions to 7th, while Qinwen Zheng remains 9th in the world despite not competing. Ekaterina Alexandrova and Clara Tauson are fully involved in the battle for the top 10, currently closed by Elena Rybakina, as the Russian and the Dane achieve the best ranking of their respective careers.
- Osaka, Vondrousova, and Krejcikova make big leaps in the WTA ranking
The Japanese and the two Czech players are among the big beneficiaries from what happened in New York, with significant rises in the rankings. Naomi Osaka is now 14th in the world after gaining ten positions, while Marketa Vondrousova is 36th in the world, climbing twenty-four spots, and Barbora Krejcikova is now 40th in the world after moving up twenty-two places. Spanish player Bouzas drops ten spots but remains amongst the top 50 players in the world. Overall, Spanish tennis celebrates the improvement of Cristina Bucsa, rising from 95th to 62nd in the rankings.
