Iga Swiatek is fully aware that she must have a great end to the season if she wants to have a chance at being the number 1 in the WTA ranking by the end of the year. She took a very important step by becoming the champion in Seoul, earning 500 points and positioning herself just 1,577 points behind Aryna Sabalenka in the WTA Race, which reflects the points earned so far this season. She is still 2,792 points behind in the WTA ranking, with many more points to defend compared to the Belarusian until the end of the season.
