Paula Badosa, Karolina Muchova and Naomi Osaka are among the big WTA Rankings winners from the 2024 China Open, while Maria Sakkari and Ons Jabeur are set for a drop.
Muchova and Coco Gauff will face off in the final of the WTA 1000 tournament in Beijing on Sunday.
Seven of the current WTA top 10 competed at the China Open, while Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina and Danielle Collins withdrew.
WTA Top 10 before Beijing
1. Iga Swiatek, Poland – 10,885 points
2. Aryna Sabalenka – 8,716
3. Jessica Pegula, United States – 6,220
4. Elena Rybakina, Kazakhstan – 5,871
5. Jasmine Paolini, Italy – 5,348
6. Coco Gauff, United States – 4,983
7. Qinwen Zheng, China – 3,920
8. Emma Navarro, United States – 3,698
9. Danielle Collins, United States – 3,178
10. Barbora Krejcikova, Czech Republic – 3,161
Having secured the title in Beijing in 2023, world No 1 Swiatek will lose 1,000 points after not playing this year, taking her total to 9,885.
Aryna Sabalenka, the world No 2, started the China Open 2,169 points adrift of Swiatek and could have closed the gap to just 169 points if she won the title.
However, the Belarusian’s quarter-final exit, which matched her result at the 2023 edition, leaves her 1,169 points behind her Polish rival.
Jessica Pegula will drop 275 points after her last 16 defeat, while Rybakina is set to drop the 390 points from her 2023 semi-final run.
There has not yet been any movement in the live top 10, but Gauff will jump from sixth to fourth — above Jasmine Paolini and Rybakina — if she defeats Muchova in the final.
