- Australia's Ashleigh Barty has reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the WTA rankings less than a month after losing it, while US Open champion Bianca Andreescu moved up to a career-high fifth after her maiden Grand Slam win in New York.

After taking the first set and leading 5-1 in the second, she was broken twice by 23-time Grand Slam singles winner Williams before eventually breaking back and winning the contest to become the first Canadian to win a major in the professional era. French Open champion Barty exited the tournament in the last 16 but regained the top position after last year's champion Naomi Osaka was also knocked out at the same stage.
