Iga Swiatek Downplays No. 1 Battle With Aryna Sabalenka

Swiatek sits at 8,433 points after titles in Seoul, Cincinnati, and Wimbledon, closing on Sabalenka’s 11,225. With no points to defend in Beijing or Wuhan, she sees opportunity but insists, “Thinking about the rankings is not a way to go… my main focus is tennis-related.” Sabalenka skips Beijing, returning to defend 1,000 in Wuhan.
