Disqualification for Sviontek at the US Open, losing 1st place to Sabalenka
Jelena Ostapenko defeated Iga Sviontek 2-1 in sets and reached the quarterfinals of the last Grand Slam of the season, where Coco Goff was waiting for her. Arina Shabalenka will rise to the top of the world rankings after the tournament is over.
Igor Sviontek was a surprise victim at the US Open when she was eliminated in the 4th round against Jelena Ostapenko with 2:1 sets (3-6, 6-3, 6-1) and not only will he not be able to win the trophy and get the win in a row, but he will also lose the world No. 1 ranking. Arina Champalenka will climb to the top after the end of the American Grand Slam.
The 26-year-old Latvian, number 21 and defending Roland Garros champion in 2017, played an excellent game and recorded her fourth win in as many encounters with Sviontek, proving that she ‘has it’ forever when they face off.
Earlier, Coco Goff (No. 6) completed Caroline Wozniacki’s comeback in New York, beating the Dane 6-3 3-6 6-1. For the second year in a row, the 19-year-old American will be in the quarterfinals of her tournament in her country.
The other top pairing in the quarterfinals is Kirstea vs. Muhova, with Romania’s Belinda Bencic shutting out and Czech Xiniu Wang missing.
