As of October 12, 2025, the live WTA rankings reflect the impact of the season’s final WTA 1000 event in Wuhan, where only the championship match between Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff remains to be played. The tournament has been decisive in shaping both the year-end No. 1 battle and the race to the WTA Finals in Riyadh.
With Iga Swiatek’s early exit in Wuhan, Aryna Sabalenka has all but secured the year-end World No. 1 ranking. Swiatek can only overtake her by winning one of the remaining WTA 250 events, provided Sabalenka fails to win a single round-robin match at the WTA Finals in Riyadh. It’s a fitting conclusion to another consistent season for the Belarusian, who held firm when it mattered most.
Meanwhile, the battle for the final WTA Finals spot remains wide open. Jasmine Paolini has slightly extended her lead after outperforming Elena Rybakina in Wuhan, with the Kazakhstani bowing out one round earlier. The margin between them remains narrow, setting up a tense final stretch before all top eight players head to Riyadh for the prestigious season finale.
Key Ranking Storylines
The latest WTA rankings following the Wuhan Open semifinals have confirmed several key shifts inside the world’s Top 30
- A historic breakthrough for Ekaterina Alexandrova, who has cracked the Top 10 for the first time in her career.
- Jessica Pegula climbs one place to World No. 5 after reaching the Wuhan final, swapping positions with Mirra Andreeva, who slips to No. 6.
- Jasmine Paolini continues her steady rise, inching closer to securing a WTA Finals berth as she moves up to No. 8, slightly extending her edge over Elena Rybakina (No. 9).
