Swiatek Extends WTA Reign, Rublev Hits 200 Weeks in Top 10

Iga Swiatek continues to dominate the WTA rankings, extending her reign at the top spot to 118 weeks, surpassing Justine Henin for eighth-most weeks at No. 1. With a commanding lead of 2,679 points, Swiatek is poised to climb further up the all-time list, with Ashleigh Barty's 121 weeks within reach.

Swiatek's dominance is evident in her massive point advantage over her closest challengers, Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff. While Swiatek has 10,695 ranking points, Sabalenka and Gauff have 8,016 and 6,743, respectively.

Meanwhile, several players have made significant moves up the rankings after impressive performances in recent tournaments. Czech teenager Linda Noskova has jumped 10 spots to No. 25 after winning the WTA 500 event in Monterrey, Mexico. Lulu Sun, who lost to Noskova in the final, has broken into the Top 50 for the first time, rising to No. 41.

American McCartney Kessler has soared to a new personal best of No. 63 after capturing her first WTA title in Cleveland. Alex Michelsen has also made his Top 50 debut on the ATP rankings, rising to No. 49 after reaching the ATP final in Winston Salem.

On the ATP side, Andrey Rublev has reached a significant milestone, becoming the 20th player to spend 200 weeks in the Top 10. Rublev has been in the Top 10 for 103 consecutive weeks, including 41 weeks at a career-high of No. 5.

Currently ranked No. 6, Rublev is in strong form heading into the US Open. He has reached the quarterfinals or better in his last four tournaments, including a final appearance in Montreal.
