 So we're smack bang right in the middle of the Asian swing and we've got some big points on the line this week with Shanghai just starting We've also got Beijing happening right now for the WTA a lot of points up for grabs not too many big tournaments left for the year Let's go over look at who won last week's events So as I mentioned there is still some events going on at the moment These are the results from last week the Pan Pacific Open We had Kudamatova taking up Pagula 7561 to lift her second trophy of her career in the Ningbo open We had Jabur beating Schneider in the final of a 250 event and Jabur is trying to qualify for the WTA finals So that was a huge boost for her on the men's side We have the China Open with Yannick Sinner beating Daniel Mervadev 7676 in a very impressive performance and he puts himself right in that ATP finals race and over in Astana We had a 250 event on the indoor courts with Manorino taking our quarter in a close 3 set a 4 6 6 3 6 2 To lift his second trophy of the year So some big results there a lot of points up for grabs And of course we've got 1,000 events going on at the moment Which are going to be worth a lot more points when we do the ranking show next time having with the players I went up in the rankings this week. Kudamatova goes up three spots number 16 in the world after winning that 500 trophy Manorino he goes up 11 spots of 23 in the world after lifting the Astana trophy and Schneider She goes to a career high 63 in the world 22 spots higher than last week after making the final of that 250 event So some big points there and some big changes for those players outside of the top 10 Plays went down to the rankings Shapovalov. He dropped down seven spots in number 37 in the world Nishioca He goes down 10 spots to number 48 in the world and Sharif goes down 16 spots in number 50 in the world after all losing points from this time last year and in particular Shapovalov We haven't seen him for a long time. He's been battling injury for a long time this year His ranking continues to drop not sure if we're gonna see him at all until maybe the starter next year He's just been injured and pulling out of tournaments all over the place. All right. Let's start with the WTA Rankings now and no changes just changes to the points with Sabalenka still on top Shfiontek still at number two with Goffett number three Gugula close behind though at number four with Rabakina not too far behind that at number five So there is a battle for that number three spot between those three ladies Sakurai stays in number six with Jabur at number seven Bondrusova at eight Mukavera at nine and Garcia rounds out the top ten for this week over to the race of the finals and Sabalenka still on top with Shfiontek at number two Goffett number three Rabakina at number four those four players have already qualified and now Pagula has also qualified adding a lot of points from last week's Tournament over in Tokyo So she is officially qualified only three spots up for grabs in the remaining weeks of the season Bondrusova Still at number six with Mukavera number seven Jabur at eight Sakurai at nine and keys rounds out the top ten But as I speak now Sakurai is the only player that's not qualified out of those five players It's still alive in Beijing So there's a big chance that Sakurai could put herself in that top eight by the end of Beijing and in the next time We do the ranking show over to the men's rankings now and no change at the top No back joker is still at number one despite losing points from not playing the Astana open this year Still well ahead of Elkres at number two Medvedev stays at three but Yannick Sinner He goes up to a career high number four in the world after winning that 500 trophy last week in Beijing Beating Medvedev in the final just adds that a little bit extra You also beat Elkres as well So he beat the two guys ahead of him pushing runar city pass and rubelab down to five six and seven And they're all playing next week in Shanghai So it should be interesting to see if we get another change after that week Fritz comes in at number eight with rude at number nine And Zverev rounds out the top ten for this week But like I said Shanghai coming up next week Djokovic is the only one that's not playing in Shanghai out of that list So some really big chances and of course a thousand points up for grabs We could see some changes again even more changes again to the rankings this time next week over to the finals race now and Djokovic still at the top with Elkres coming in at number two Medvedev at three They're the only three players qualified Yannick Sinner is so close He's only got to win one or two matches in Shanghai to qualify for the finals as well Rubelav comes into five with city pass at six Zverev at seven Runa at eight Fritz at nine and rude rounds out the top ten But like I said next week Shanghai a thousand points up for grabs Sinner's pretty much qualified so there's only really four spots left with about six weeks left of the season a Really big opportunity in Shanghai for some plays to really get towards that cutoff point and qualify for the ATP finals So there it is They are the rankings and it's a little bit weird because we're doing a midweek's ranking show because Beijing finished midway through the Tuit week and Shanghai starts and it's a little bit of a mess But we'll get through it next week. There won't be a ranking show on Monday It'll be the following week after the Shanghai Masters just to get things wrapped up properly Next week there is a WTA 500 event as well after Beijing So we'll keep an eye on that as well with the results and the rankings and all that stuff But let me know down in the comments below. What has been the most shocking part of the rankings this week? Are you surprised that Sinner is number four in the world? Do you think he is the fourth best player this year? It's hard to deny that he's not he's won a 1,000 event He's beaten the guys ahead of him. Well, at least he's beaten Elcrest twice He's been a bit of once now. I mean is he is he better than rubelav and city pass this year? Probably he probably is so he's at number four and he's up number four by like a thousand points So it's not even close between him and number five But let me know down because below what's been the most shocking part of the rankings this week and who is gonna qualify for the WTA finals
