 So the U.S. Open coming up next week, there's some massive ranking points on the line and some players that don't have any points on the line, which means we could see some big changes to the rankings post-U.S. Open. Let's go a look at the players that have the most to lose and the most to gain in terms of ranking points. So taking a look at the players that have the most to gain on the WTA, Maria Sacri. She only made a second round at last year's U.S. Open, which means she only has 70 points to lose if she does lose in the first round, which means she has about 1,900 points if she does end up winning the U.S. Open. Of course, that's a long way. But still, if she gets to the second week, maybe a quarter-final semi-final, that'll help her ranking. Mukubar, of course, the French Open finalist. She only has 10 points to defend, which was last year's first round loss. We have seen her the last couple of weeks be really good on hard courts. We're really keen to see how she does and also how many points she can gain, of course, just made it into the top 10 last week. She can get a lot higher up in the rankings if she has a good U.S. Open. Von Drussever, she actually didn't play last year's U.S. Open, which means she has no points to defend and she's currently number nine in the world. Of course, one Wimbledon as well. So another player that could really rise up the rankings, they get to the second week of the U.S. Open and Alina Rabakina has 10 points to defend after last year's first round loss. And she's already number four in the world. She wins the U.S. Open or even just makes the final. She could really get up towards that top two, where Schviontek and Sabalenka are battling it out. Having with the players that have the most to lose, of course, Igor Schviontek, the defending champion, she cannot make up any points, which means she has to defend the title just to keep her ranking points, 2,000 points on the line. If she makes the final, she'll lose 700 points to her current total, which is not ideal considering where Sabalenka is. Onstja Burr, she has 1,300 points to defend. I have to make the final last year. So again, she has to have a good tournament, otherwise her ranking is in jeopardy. Caroline Garcia, she has a semi-final to defend, 780 points. She's already struggling this year, so she really needs to have a good U.S. Open otherwise. She's in big danger of dropping down the rankings, potentially out of the top 10 by the end of the year. Sabalenka battling with Schviontek for number one. She has 780 points as well from last year's semi-final. There's some big names there in the top 10. If they don't play well at the U.S. Open, potentially dropping down the rankings, and for some of them, maybe even out of the top 10. Jumping over the men's side now, the players that have the most to gain at this year's U.S. Open, Alexander Zverev, of course, didn't play last year, got injured at the French Open last year, didn't play for the rest of the year. He has no points to defend. He's been pretty good in recent weeks, not just on Hardcourt, but on Clay as well. Of course, this is a Hardcourt event, so that's the one that matters most. If he has a good U.S. Open, second week, he could get back into the top 10. Taylor Fritz, he lost in the first round last year, so his ranking is sort of that 9-10 in the world. So he can really solidify himself in the top 10 if he does have a good U.S. Open. Of course, Novak Djokovic didn't play last year, has no points to defend, and is really battling it out with Elkaraz, we'll talk about in a second. He has no points to defend every time he wins a match. He'll add to his total and close the gap with Elkaraz and City Pass. He also lost in the first round like Fritz last year and has nothing to defend, could get back in that top four after falling out in recent weeks. So some really big names there that can solidify their spots in the top 10 and potentially take the number one spot back if you know that Djokovic plays that of the most eluse. Of course, Kars Elkaraz, he has 2,000 points which means he defends the title. It doesn't mean that he'll be number one still because of Djokovic having zero points to defend. So there's a real battle between the number one and two and the pressure is seriously on Elkaraz to keep that number one spot post U.S. Open. Kaspar Rudd, he has 1,200 points to defend, currently number five in the world. So we'll see whether he can defend his position in that top 10. Hasn't been great on hard courts lately so we'll keep an eye on him. He needs to have a good U.S. Open at least making it to the quarterfinals or better to sort of keep that top 10 spot. Tiyafo, he's currently number 10. He has a semi-final from last year, 720 points to defend. That's gonna be tough for Big Foe because he just got into the top 10 this year but to keep his spot can be really difficult unless he does have another amazing run. And Hashinov, he also needs to make the semi-finals. He hasn't played since the French Open due to injury so a lot of points on the line for him as well, currently around that 12, 13 in the world. So if he does make the final, I guess he could get into the top 10 again but he's got a lot of defending to do if he's either gonna stay where he is at the moment. There you have it, some big ramifications and rankings. Of course, the world number ones for the men and the women, they both have to defend their titles to stay number one and that's not even guaranteed because guys like Djokovic could take the number one spot even if Alkares beats him in a final. And of course we wanna see that final, who doesn't? But let me know down in the comments below. Who are you most worried about in the rankings? Of course, there are players that made the quarterfinals last year who have some points to defend. There's other players that haven't got any points to defend that I didn't even mention but they're the big ones that we gotta keep an eye on for the U.S. Open in terms of ranking as well because after the U.S. Open, the rankings are gonna look a lot different if the players that need points don't perform and the players that don't have any points to defend do well. But they're the rankings points going to the U.S. Open who has the most to gain and the most to lose.
