 with the Cincinnati Open done and dusted and an epic finale to the both the men and women's competitions the seeds are now locked for the US Open and it's interesting to see because we did have the one and two in the world up for grabs this week and to see who stayed on top but let's have a look at the results from last week starting with the Cincinnati Open for the ladies and Coco Goff won the biggest trophy of her career beating Mukova in the final 6364 to lift the Cincinnati Open and on the men's side at the Cincinnati Open Novak Djokovic saving championship points coming back 5 7 7 6 7 6 against El Caraz to get a little revenge after what happened at Wimbledon so some big results there and there were some changes in the rankings because of those results let's start with the players outside the top 10 that have gone up in the rankings this week Paulini she goes up to a career high number 35 in the world after making it as a qualifier to the Cincinnati quarterfinals she's going to eight spots to number 35 Lexi Poprin he's also at a career high at number 40 after making it to the quarterfinals of Cincinnati as a lucky loser 18 spots higher than last week and Purcell also as a qualifier getting into the quarterfinals of Cincinnati he goes up 23 spots to number 47 which is a career high for him so the qualifiers getting it done in Cincinnati and getting big boost in the rankings ahead of the US Open players that have gone down in the rankings over the last week Kostuk she's gone down five spots number 37 in the world after some players did better than her at Cincinnati so she's in danger of not being seated at the US Open I want to charge last year's winner of Cincinnati he goes down 13 spots to number 29 in the world and John is no he goes down 52 spots down to 158 in the world also after losing a lot of points at Cincinnati so some big drops there for some players who played well there last year all right let's start with the WTA rankings now and we didn't have many changes Fiontech she stays at number one ahead of Sabalenka at number two and there's a big gap between the two of them now so even though the US Open there's a lot of points to defend for Fiontech Sabalenka also have a semi-final so we might not get a change after the US Open but does depend on the results Pagula stays at number three and Rabakon will be at four and that is the top four seeds locked in for the US Open Jabir comes in at five with Coco Gough after winning in Cincinnati she goes up to number six pushing Garcia down to number seven which means that'll be the six and seven seed going into the US Open in a week Zachary comes in at eight but down the bottom Caviteva she drops out of the top 10 making way from Vondrusova who goes up to number nine and Mukava the finals of Sinti she goes up to number 10 seven spots higher than last week and a career high for her so some big changes ahead of the final Grand Slam of the year and the players that did well on Sinti getting rewarded looking at the race of the finals now for the WTA no change at the top with Sabalenka and Fiontech both qualifying still the only two players that have qualified we're back in a really close behind to qualifying if she does a decent run at the US Open she'll be qualified by the time we get to the ranking show again in a couple weeks Pagula stays at number four with Coco Gough she goes up to number five after winning Cincinnati pushing down Vondrusova and Jabir to number six and seven Mukava she goes up to number eight after making the final of Cincinnati and she pushes down Caviteva and Benchage to number nine and ten so the two finals from last week rising up into contention of the WTA finals of course there's only eight spots up for grabs two spots are gone six spots left we're back and it's not that far away Pagula's also not too far away so I'm sure after the US Open there are going to be even less spots up for grabs the WTA finals race all right jumping over to the men's side of things and no change at the top Alcaraz holds top spot yet again before another slam he will be the number one seed going in to the US Open the third slam in a row now that he'll be the top seed ahead of Djokovic to number two despite Djokovic winning in Cincinnati Medvedev will be number three and Holgaruna he goes up to number four which will be the highest seed that he will be out of slam so far in his career mainly due to Sidney Pass dropping down so far after not making it as far as he did last year in Cincinnati Root also got a boost up to number five that's two spots higher the last week Yannick's in a stage at six and there is Sidney Pass at number seven so some real changes there mainly due to the fact that Sidney Pass had a final to defend from last year's Cincinnati and he dropped down and lost a lot of points Rubelep stays at number eight with Fritz at number nine and Tiafo will round out the top ten of course that will be the seeds for the US Open going forward there are some injury concerns potentially with Runa if he does pull out that means everyone gets to go up one spot but at this stage there the US Open seeds after the weekend since he having a look at the finals race now and it's starting to get real interesting with Alcarez qualified but Novak Djokovic has also qualified on points after Cincinnati he already had kind of qualified anyway because he won two grand slams but he officially qualifies now becomes a second player on the ATP to play the finals at the end of the year Medvedev not too far behind at number three with Sinner at four Sidney Pass at five Rubelev comes in at number six with Runa at seven with Alexander Zverev he goes up two spots in number eight after making the semi finals of Cincinnati pushing Rude down to number ten and Fritz stays in the middle there at number nine after a nice run as well so getting really interesting now and a lot of familiar names of course at the start of the year you get a lot of random players in this position but we're starting to see a lot of familiar names a lot of players that have already played the ATP finals and of course guys like Alcarez and Runa who are yet to play but there are a lot of familiar names there and it is shaping up and of course after the US Open expect a lot of these players to qualify and less spots up for grabs so there you have it they are the rankings going into the US Open and the seedings are set everything is set for the US Open there are tournaments next week but of course they don't matter to the seedings but no change up the top again Shriontek stays up on top against Sabal Anchor and of course Alcarez holds Djokovic back despite Djokovic winning in Cincinnati but let me know down the comments below are you excited about the US Open also who are you most scared about at the US Open for those top seeds because there's some players outside the top ten that have been in some good form lately but those are the seeds set for the US Open that happens next week draw comes out Friday we'll see you then
