WTA Rankings: Sabalenka Holds No.1, Gauff Closes Gap as Mboko Soars into Top 25

American Charge Continues into Top 10 WTA Rankings

Aryna Sabalenka remains unshakable at world No.1 with 12,010 points, but Coco Gauff’s surge to 7,669 points keeps the pressure on. Iga Świątek stays third, while Jessica Pegula holds her place at No.4.
The U.S. presence in the elite tier is further boosted by Madison Keys, who climbs two spots to No.6 after a strong summer swing. Rising star Mirra Andreeva, just 18, cements her Top 5 position, while Amanda Anisimova rounds out the American trio in the Top 10 at No.8.

Rybakina, Tauson and Samsonova Shake the Middle Order

Elena Rybakina returns to the Top 10 at No.10, showcasing her hard-court credentials. Denmark’s Clara Tauson is the week’s biggest mover inside the Top 20, jumping four spots to No.15 after back-to-back deep runs. Meanwhile, Ludmilla Samsonova slips two places to No.18, and Paula Badosa drops out of the Top 10 race, falling to No.12.

Mboko and Osaka Steal the Spotlight

The headline story belongs to Canada’s Victoria Mboko. The 18-year-old rockets 61 spots to No.24 — her first appearance in the Top 25 — after a breakthrough run in Montreal that stunned seasoned opponents. Naomi Osaka’s comeback gains momentum with a 24-place leap to No.25, marking her highest ranking since her maternity break. Other notable movers include Qinwen Zheng slipping to No.7, Sofia Kenin dropping two places to No.29, and Dayana Yastremska climbing back into contention at No.31.

The mix of seasoned champions and fearless newcomers is setting the stage for a thrilling late summer stretch on the WTA Tour. With Gauff closing in and a crop of teenagers breaking barriers, the battle for year-end positions in the WTA rankings is wide open.
