ATP & WTA rankings

Yes, missed that subtle point. But I then will say that Iga will gain on Aryna. Iga's confidence must be overflowing at the moment. Aryna's must be dented.

Sinner is still about 1500 points behind Alcaraz in the race, but I expect him to easily make it up over his favorite part of the season.

Swiatek also 1500 points behind Sabalenka, but in this case I expect Aryna to hold on.

Aryna is defending USO points. I say that by the end of the year, Iga is back at #1. I will bet three dog chewed balls on that.

She has almost double the points of Swiatek, and she'll defend a good portion of what she has left, so I think it will be a tall order. Gauff has a better chance after her less than stellar summer last year, but she won't do it either, IMO.

Gauff doesn't have a better chance, I think. She's now well behind Swiatek in the race.

Tereza Valentova (18) will debut in the top 100 next week.

Good prospect? Somebody to keep an eye on?

Junior french champion at both singles and doubles ..a rare feat...

I've been watching her matches as my late night/early morning tennis (don't ask) and I've noticed she has "that thing". It'll be interesting to see how she fares against higher ranked players.

I had to really look for it but here's a short clip of Valentova. She played a LL today but you can get an idea of how she plays.

Alex de Minaur returns to top 10 by making the final in Washington. Rublev drops to #11.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina makes the top 20 for the first time by making the final in Washington.

No changes at the top of the women's rankings this week.

I've only seen her play against Coco, and she wasn't very impressive, but that was against world #2 at a grand slam. She has been tearing up the ITF.

Valentova right?
