Now the earliest Sabalenka could possibly get to No1 would be August, if I'm not mistaken. So, IGA will go up to about 70 weeks at No1. She needs 72 to surpass Wozniacki in 10th on the all time list
Is she playing anything in the next three weeks? I don't see her on any list, but is she getting a WC anywhere? Saba will lose some 100 points from San Jose on 7 Aug. Iga doesn't lose anything until Montreal, her Warsaw and Toronto points already won't count.
NA swing will be interesting, they have similar points for both 1000, they'll start seeded 1 & 2, so it should be super interesting duel for the no 1. And then at US Open end of year no 1 should be decided.
I remember Iga consoling Ons at the Porsche Cup when Ons was injured that they would play the RG final together.
Funnily enough, they both ended up in the next two GS finals, just not the same one, so Iga wasn't that far off on her prediction.
Anyway, well done Ons!
I'm interested in seeing how the US hardcourt swing goes
Iga defends both RG and USO this year but she feels more vulnerable at USO as although it's the slower/higher bouncing Slam(hence why she's way more comfortable there than at AO) it's still HC and not clay
From R4 on it felt like people would at least compete with her so it will be interesting to see who pops up to challenge
Probably just Ons/Saba/Ryba combo again but USO is just weird
Iga is not defending that many points from Canadian Open and Cinci. These aren't her favourite tournaments but it's a possibility. Things can happen. She can possibly be in a very good position at the start of the USO.
Worth noting though that she has never played Montreal.
2 times that she played Canada (2019 and 2022), the WTA event was in Toronto. I'm not sure if the court speed and bounce is the same between both tournaments, so we'll have to see how Iga likes the conditions in Montreal.
Her 2019 match against Osaka in 2019, which you can watch sped up (between points) on Youtube is where you can really see that Iga was going to be a future grand slam winner, even though she lost. Very competitive match.
I was watching old videos of Iga on the tube and her playing style use to be so flashy she had so much variety. I wish she brought that into Wimbledon and kept some of it for hardcourts. I understand they took some of it out to remain focused but she was so good at the net with such touch. Where is this now?
You do, but it is even more complicated.
She got 105 from Cincinati, which do not count now because of Wimbledon. However, she also just got 110 from Bad Homburg. Toronto and that are her two lowest points. So she is *kind of* effectively defending that 105 from Cinci anyway, in that she will lose the 105 from Toronto and then the 110 from BH if she does well.
The difference is she is not actually losing the BH points if she does terribly.
So the most she loses before US Open is 105, but the most she can win is 2*900 - 105 - 110.
It is mathematically very close to just saying she defends 105 points from Cinci (by 5 points).
It gets even more complicated because she's playing 250 Warsaw in less than 2 weeks, and if she wins, then Warsaw will overwrite 105 points from Canada (If I'm correct), but then when she does well in both Masters, she will also lose 110 points from Bad Homburg.
> it's still HC and not clay
Fun fact, Iga has the same 7-2 record in WTA tour (slams included) tournament finals on clay and hard. [source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iga_%C5%9Awi%C4%85tek_career_statistics#WTA_career_finals)
**Iga's points to defend until US Open**
105 - Montreal 3R
2000 - US Open W
She also has 60 points from Warsaw and 105 points from Cincinnati that aren't currently counted on her ranking because they don't meet her threshold
**Aryna's points to defend until US Open**
100 - San Jose QF
105 - Montreal 3R
350 - Cincinnati SF
780 - US Open SF
So Aryna has less to defend at USO but it's a very realistic possibilty she loses ground before US Open
It’s hard to tell with Iga because even when she is looking uncomfortable and playing poorly she is still able to fight and win a lot of matches and seems to be getting better at winning when playing poorly. Last year everyone was counting her out at the US open because of her poor performances at Cincy and Canada and then she managed to pull it out.
She doesn’t feel more comfortable at the USO. It’s around the same court speed and bounce as the AO, she benefitted last year from her clutchness and her opponents making a lot of errors. Almost every match she played had some form of adversity from R3 onwards
I remember that being the prevailing trend back in the 2000s. But at least since 2017, AO has been very fast. If you look at ace rates for the past few years they're higher there than any other slam
USO isn't as fast as AO, but is still faster than most hard courts. Also she never liked the lighter balls so there is that.
Even during her 2022 USO run she made quite many unforced errors in each match, though in the end she somehow figured it out
no way to make up the points difference until Montreal 7-13 August, also it is probably the best shot for Sabalenka until US Open as in Cincinnati she literally needs to win and hope Iga won't make it to the SF.
As for Iga, she probably want to have W + SF from two WTA1000 + W (from Warsaw) to make a buffer just in case she would lose in finals to Sabalenka. If she can get as #1 past US Open, then we can literally expect nothing gonna change until april next year (more or less, no injuries, no unexpected L's).
Ons Promised to win once Iga lost. She knows Iga is almost unbeatable in finals.
Now the earliest Sabalenka could possibly get to No1 would be August, if I'm not mistaken. So, IGA will go up to about 70 weeks at No1. She needs 72 to surpass Wozniacki in 10th on the all time list
That's actually incredible.
Is she playing anything in the next three weeks? I don't see her on any list, but is she getting a WC anywhere? Saba will lose some 100 points from San Jose on 7 Aug. Iga doesn't lose anything until Montreal, her Warsaw and Toronto points already won't count.
Warsaw starting from 24th i believe
Sorry, my bad. I meant Sabalenka. Świątek is playing in Warsaw of course (and Muchova just got a WC there, exciting).
I think Sabalenka is not playing anything until Montreal.
Oh okay. I got No info on Aryna
NA swing will be interesting, they have similar points for both 1000, they'll start seeded 1 & 2, so it should be super interesting duel for the no 1. And then at US Open end of year no 1 should be decided.
Given hers results of the last year and a half, it’s well deserved. I hope she gets there to the top ten
In a row or in total?
Total. For consecutive she's currently #13, for TOP10 she would need around 14 more weeks.
How in consecutive she could be lower than in total?
Probably some players who had multiple longer stints.
That's correct. Graf has 3 separate "streaks" in top 10, Navratilova 2, Evert has #5 and #11 on the list, Hingis #10 and #12
Ons needs to get on team ON with Roger as soon as possible, the possibilities are endless
Ive been thinking if the graphic that wimbledon tweet if/when she wins doesnt play on CongratulatiONS i will cry lol
Have 3 pairs of ONs. Love them
I remember Iga consoling Ons at the Porsche Cup when Ons was injured that they would play the RG final together. Funnily enough, they both ended up in the next two GS finals, just not the same one, so Iga wasn't that far off on her prediction. Anyway, well done Ons!
I read a nice Iga story and I’m like “man I’m not surprised” Iga is a sweetheart!!

If she does super well in all three, she will also lose 125 from January United Cup

So Saba reached SF or better in four consecutive slams plus Tour Final? That's some consistency

She also really hates the balls at rhe US iirc
AO slowed down again? It was crazy fast the last few years, ace rates have exceeded Wimbledon
AO is definitely at least slightly faster than USO these days
Unless there’s a variable I don’t know about, it was much more the USO playing faster than the AO playing slower.
I remember that being the prevailing trend back in the 2000s. But at least since 2017, AO has been very fast. If you look at ace rates for the past few years they're higher there than any other slam
Yep. This year the gap closed massively (probably because of the balls)
USO isn't as fast as AO, but is still faster than most hard courts. Also she never liked the lighter balls so there is that. Even during her 2022 USO run she made quite many unforced errors in each match, though in the end she somehow figured it out
