Aryna Sabalenka Extends Lead Over Iga Swiatek in WTA Rankings

Aryna Sabalenka continues to distance herself from Iga Swiatek in the WTA rankigs.

Despite not playing over the past two weeks, Aryna Sabalenka extended her lead over Iga Swiatek for the top spot in the WTA rankings. The last time Sabalenka took the court, she defeated Qinwen Zheng in the Wuhan Open.
On the other hand, Iga Swiatek skipped the entire Asian swing of the WTA tour. Swiatek has not played since her early exit from the US Open at the hands of Jessica Pegula. She has since abruptly fired Tomasz Wiktorowski as her coach and and hired Naomi Osaka’s ex-coach Wim Fissette.
