 Welcome back to Tennis Talk. My name's Cam Williams and it's time for the weekly ranking show and this week We have a lot of changes to the rankings because the rankings have gone back to normal for both the ATP and the WTA meaning that all the points that were won in the last week have gone from last year and we're resetting again Let's go check out who actually won this week because we only had two tournaments one for the men one for the women both of them It's Cincinnati starting off with the WTA at the Cincinnati Masters We had Barty defeating Taikman in straight set 6361 to lift her first Cincinnati trophy in the world number one in great form Of course one Wimbledon only a couple of months ago She's having a great 2021 and Alexander Zverev He lifts his first ATP 1000 tournament on a hard court beating Andre Rublev 6263 And he is also rewarded in the rankings because of his win since this week All right Let's start with the WTA rankings for this week because we have some changes to the top 10 Ash Barty She stays at number one in the world after a great week in Cincinnati But Naomi Osaka she drops down to number three with Sabalenka taking the number two spot Which is a career high ranking for Sabalenka Osaka drops down because she failed to defend the points that she made in Cincinnati last year making the final push give a stays at number four after making the semi-finals last week in Sinsi candidate number five Svetlina at six on Drescu at seven But she has a lot of points to defend at the US Open in a week Sveontek at eight and a change to the bottom of the top ten with Mugaruta dropping down to number ten and Kredjikova going up to number nine which is a career high for her So she just keeps rising up the ranks in 2021 Let's go have a look at the race to Shenzhen the WTA finals race Which is still apparently going on despite the cancellation of the Asian swing this year Barty stays at number one She is miles ahead of the WTA race and she should qualify Officially pretty pretty soon and then Sabalenka she drops down to number three with Kredjikova Jumping up to number two after a solid week in Cincinnati last week Sabalenka failing to do well being upset early Pleskua stays at number four Sveontek at number five Osaka at number six Mugaruta at seven Jabor at number eight Koko Goff at number nine and we have a new number ten this week with Pagula Who had a great week last week in Cincinnati going up three spots from last week getting into number ten Pushing Pavle Cenkava out of the top ten for the WTA race to the finals Let's go have a look at the players that have gone up in the ranks this week that are not in the top ten Angelique Kerber goes up five spots after making the semi-finals of Cincinnati last week She goes up to number 17 in the world and Paul of Edosa also having a good week last week and since he goes up Three spots to 26 in the world, which is actually a career high ranking for her So she continues her great form in 2021 some of the players that have dropped down in the ranks this week We had Azarenka she dropped down six spots to number 19 after failing to defend the title that she won in Cincinnati last year and Joe Conta she's gone down 11 spots to number 47 in the world After losing a bunch of points from the quarter finals that she made last year in Cincinnati so two players that did well last year and since he couldn't back it up this week and they suffered in the ranks Let's go over to the men's rankings now the ATP top ten and there's some big changes in the top ten Despite not playing Cincinnati Jokovic He stays at number one Medvedev creeping up behind though at number two but since he passed at number three and Raffa Nadal after pulling out of the Canadian open and also Cincinnati and for the rest of the year He's dropped down to number five with Alexander's Vera the Cincinnati champion taking over to get back to number four in the ranks We have Dominic team also not playing for the rest of the year currently in number six But expect him to drop out of the top ten by the end of the year Rue Blev the finalist in sincey He's at number seven Baratini at eight another player not playing for the rest of the year Roger Federer He's at number nine, but expect him to drop out of the top ten very soon and Dennis Shapovalov Despite having a poor couple of weeks hangs on to the number ten spot in the rankings this week having a look at the race to To win the ATP finals for this year and things are starting to shape up nicely We're gonna start seeing the players qualifying over the next couple of weeks for this tournament Novak Djokovic He's already qualified. He's at number one with City pass at number two Medvedev at number three and Baratini He drops down two spots with Alexander's Vera of replacing him after a really good week He goes up to number four Baratini drops down at number six and sandwiched between them is Rue Blev at number five So despite having a good week last week Rue Blev. He doesn't get any reward for it in the ranks We have Rafa Nadal. He's a number seven But of course he is going to drop out because he is in eligible now that he is not playing for the rest of the year So we won't see him in the ATP finals so he can officially be pushed out Which means Rue is officially number seven her catcher number eight Sinner at number nine and Karatsev gets back into the top ten. Thanks to the withdrawal of Rafa Nadal for the rest of the season Let's have a look at the players that have gone up in the rankings this week and Ozealia seem after having a good week last week Beating Baratini along the way he gets to a career equalling Ranking at number 15 in the world two spots higher than last week and Senago again having a good week last week He goes up four spots to number 23 in the world Which is a career high for him. He's having a great 12 months Of course beat Djokovic end of last year and he's continued that confidence and that form into this season So good to see Senago getting a career high ranking players that have dropped down in the ranks this week We have Miloshrionic the finalist of Cincinnati from last year He's gone down 10 spots to number 34 and Richard Gascade He's gone down 29 spots in the rankings after dropping the points from two years ago in the semi finals of Cincinnati in 2019 so he dropped a lot of points Which is why he's dropped a lot of ranking spots 29 spots down to 82 in the world So there it is the rankings for the week And there's some big changes because the ATP have gone back to normal with their rankings And of course the WTA have been having a normal ranking system for the last couple of months The ATP officially losing all the points if you don't back up tournaments So guys like Dominic team Roger Federer Rafa Nadal who all have points to defend over the next six months not playing for the rest of the year They're gonna drop a lot of points especially with Indian Wells being in October team and Federer are both the finalists from two years ago They lose a lot of points But let me know down the comments below who you most shocked about maybe not being in the top ten Or maybe not qualifying for the race of the finals yet because like I said before a lot of players that are in the top ten for both The men and the women some of them are not actually in the top ten for the finals race at the end of the year So let me know down the comments below who you most shocked about missing from those rankings So the US Open Seeds are locked in after the rankings coming in this week with some big changes to the top ten
