Iga Świątek loses WTA points, giving Aryna Sabalenka a ranking boost. Can Świątek reclaim the top spot at WTA Finals?
Polish Star Iga Świątek Loses Points
In a recent WTA ranking update, Poland’s Iga Świątek saw her points drop significantly, placing her over a thousand points behind Aryna Sabalenka. The WTA penalized Świątek for not competing in the required number of tournaments, docking her an additional 195 points and deducting 1500 points from her 2022 WTA Finals victory.
A Tough Path Back to the Top
For Świątek to regain the top spot, she must win every match at the upcoming WTA Finals in Riyadh, where only the top eight players compete. Additionally, she needs Sabalenka to fall short of the semifinals.
An Exciting WTA Finals Field
The tournament features a strong lineup, including Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Jelena Rybakina, Jasmine Paolini, Qinwen Zheng, and Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova. Fans eagerly await the November 2 start to witness this intense season-ending showdown.
