American gauff

American Coco Gauff: Aryna Sabalenka surpassed Iga Swaitek to climb back to the No. 1 spot in the latest WTA rankings released on Monday. Neither player was in action last week, but with continuing year-end adjustments for falling short of certain tournament quotas, Sabalenka dropped fewer points than Swiatek.

Sabalenka has 9,706 points compared to second-placed Swiatek's 9,665, taking a narrow 41-point lead. American Coco Gauff is third with 5,963 points followed by compatriot Jessica Pegula (5,785) in fourth and Elena Rybakina in fifth with 5471 points.

"N1…. Let’s see for how long this time," Sabalenka posted on X after becoming the world No. 1 player.
