October 21st saw Aryna Sabalenka return to the top of the world #1 :) In truth Sabalenka has been the current number one on form especially on hard courts. Her run of 15 consecutive wins came to an end in Beijing but was soon followed by an impressive win in Wuhan. Meanwhile Iga Swiatek has a new coach but little game time to earn point

Her run of 15 consecutive wins came to an end in Beijing but was soon followed by an impressive win in Wuhan. Meanwhile Iga Swiatek has a new coach but little game time to earn points so her place at the top has gone.
#1. Aryna Sabalenka 9706 points
#2. Iga Świątek 9665 points
#3. Cool Gauff 5963 points
It is a well deserved position for Aryna to obtain once again. I suspect the #1 spot will flip flop as we enter the 2025 season. Both the top 2 have big points to defend so expect both to swap and interchange by the time we get to Wimbledon when both players will have the first real opportunity to steal a march. It's going to be fun:)

With only a few minor events taking place for the remainder of 2024, the WTA finals event that finishes on November 9th is really the last significant action as far as the rankings is concerned. Diana Shnaider and Katie Boulter both made some progress up the rankings with their win and final appearance in Hong Kong. Shnaider is now #12 and Boulter at #23 which secures their spots as seeds when the Australian Open comes round in January. Leylah Fernandez is unto #31 and Sramkova at #43 after her run to the final in Jiujiang. SOnmez rises to #91 and Golubic to #105 after their impressive wins last week:)

Maria Sakkari has now duly dropped to #22 in the world having been a permanent fixture in the top 10 for several years. It is questionable whether she will ever return to enough form to make another appearance inside the top 20 given her challenges with the psychological aspects of the game.
Barbora Krejcikova is a player who is not as

Barbora Krejcikova is a player who is not as reliable on hard courts so is best avoided until next season. Finally the end of a career looks imminent for Sloane Stephens who can’t get even one win and is falling down the rankings sharply.
