Yes, but this game is all about winning Slams and going far in them.

Sabalenka isn't wildly overranked by any stretch no matter what she does at Wimbledon and doesn't belong with that group. That's truly discounting her regular WTA Tour success.

If you're talking about the perception of her because of her inability to go deep in a slam, that's another story. But she's not overranked as that has never just been about performance at GS.

Interestingly enough, I don't remember anywhere near this kind of doubt thrown at Pliskova who couldn't do a damn thing at a Slam and still remained in everyone's like Top 3 to win every slam that came up that wasn't RG.

But that was when she was coming up. In the last couple of years, we haven't talked much about her because she is also fading away.
Nobody has taken her in the SP. I wonder if it is for the same reason I am staying away: she can blow somebody off the court, or can be blown of the court by anybody.
I like her personality, but she is no longer in a conversation for Slam winner. Much less #1.

Note that when I say Sabalenka is over ranked I mean that appropriate would be in 6-10 range.

That's my point. Aryna isn't old, she's the same age as Naomi. At this point with Pliskova, hope was very high. Most people weren't posting at the start of a slam that her being considered one of the favorites was a joke and she's never gonna win the title the way that has happened multiple times with Sabalenka now.

Raducanu has improved her ranking already by 163 spots (#175 live) and could add another 40 if she beats Ajla Tomljanovic in R16. Doesn't sound impossible.

Barty will be #1 regardless of further results. Sabalenka will be #2 if she reaches the final, #3 if she does not. Pliskova is back in the top 10 at #8 if she doesn't win any further matches. Spot in the finals would allow her to rise to #7 (past Iga) and the title would make her #4. Kerber currently #22, #18 as a finalist and #10 as a champion. Unless Kerber wins the title Muguruza goes back to the top 10. Simona Halep's loss of 2000 points will result in her slipping to #9.

That's rather disappointing, as, with the crazy ranking system currently employed, I expected Andreescu to capture the #1 spot, given her 1st round exits at Wimbledon and Roland Garros...

With all the rankings craziness, it's a good thing Ash Barty is the deserved no1 ATM.

Osaka should be #1, IMO

Well at least both are deserved of the top 10, unlike others...
