Świątek drops from WTA top three as Pegula and Gauff battle for No. 1 spot

Iga Świątek is set to drop from third place in the WTA rankings, though she will remain in the top ten. Aryna Sabalenka's surprise defeat to Naomi Osaka has opened the race for the world No. 1 spot, with Jessica Pegula as the main contender and Coco Gauff still in the hunt. Elena Rybakina is just 407 points behind the leader, making the upcoming Canadian and US hardcourt events decisive.
