The 21-year-old Polish woman suddenly inherited the throne in early April, following the surprise retirement of Ashleigh Barty.
She has since largely justified her new status.
There is her and the others.
With a third Grand Slam title since Saturday, after winning the US Open final against Tunisian Ons Jabeur 6-2, 7-6, (7/5), Iga Swiatek now has more than double the points on her runner-up and victim in the final (10.365 against 5090) in the ranking published on Monday 12 September.
The Pole stands out as the second player of the Open era, after Lindsay Davenport, to have won her first three Grand Slam finals (after Roland-Garros 2020 and 2022).

Before this US Open, she even remained on nine finals won by conceding five games or less!
