ATP & WTA rankings

#8 beat #7 in the finals of the Elite trophy. ..#1 and 2 failed to get past the group stage ..rankings mean a lot, don't they?!

Rankings are about previous results, but they don't necessarily provide a predictive value, particularly when we're talking about players generally ranked between 10 & 20.

Yes, that is what I believe too...

Pa.
Ri.
Ty.
We can't ignore that. All these players are so even (ah, stfu Ponchi, we know where you stand!!!! )

Casper Ruud will slip out of the top 10 if he doesn't win some matches this week.

Sounds like if Sabalenka makes final in Cancun she will clinch #1. Otherwise, Swiatek can pass her by winning the title.

#11.

Seems likely that they'll play each other in SF's.

[Suliso]

So both #1 and #4 are in play.

Possible outcomes:

Sabalenka, Swiatek, Rybakina
Swiatek, Sabalenka, Rybakina,
Sabalenka, Swiatek, Pegula

Gauff #3 regardless of further results

[ptmcmahon]

Both players in charge of their own fate for #1 now. Neat that it wound up directly in head to head play today.

Watch Swiatek win today now, then lose final and not get it anyway

Another reason to hold the tournament in good conditions. What a shame that the conditions could weigh heavily on who ends the year #1.

I'm wondering how the weeks at #1 will be counted for Iga, because she plays her final on Tuesday rather than Sunday.

[Suliso]

I think it will be from Monday anyway.

Yes it would have been nice to have the outcomes decided on something else other than the wind when showcasing and celebrating the top players of the year. This would not happen in the ATP.

I did not expect Swiatek to regain the #1 ranking so quickly, and she's likely to hang on to it for a while now.

[ashkor87]

Swiatek is clearly the best of this crop of players...if the tournaments continue to lay slow course, Swiatek will serve many many bagels ..to players in the top 10..because she is better than everyone in every dimension except on serve,- which slow courts blunt nicely...
