As of October 3, 2025, the live WTA rankings capture the impact of the season’s final WTA 1000 event in Beijing. With results through the first five rounds of the China Open locked in, the tournament has been defined not by home hopes, but by the powerhouses chasing the summit. Amanda Anisimova, Linda Noskova, Jessica Pegula, and defending champion Coco Gauff remain the central figures, with only the semifinals and final left to decide how tight the race at the top will become.
Key Ranking Storylines
- Aryna Sabalenka holds firm at No. 1 — Swiatek falls short
With Sabalenka skipping Beijing, her points total stayed frozen, giving Iga Swiatek a golden chance to close the gap. Instead, the Pole left more than 1,000 points on the table and remains stranded 345 points behind the World No. 1. - Anisimova wins race for No. 4
Amanda Anisimova battled through a tougher draw in Beijing but still locked in a career-high ranking of No. 4. Already 270 points clear, she can edge even closer to No. 3 with a victory over Coco Gauff. What’s certain: Jessica Pegula can no longer catch her. - Coco Gauff closing in on No. 2
Gauff’s China Open run wasn’t enough to leapfrog Swiatek for the No. 2 spot. Still, the defending champion’s strong showing cut into the gap, bringing her closer to Poland’s top star.
