There are ten players under the age of 21, who are in the top 100 or who have won at least one WTA event, who could at some point rocket up the rankings as Swiatek did.

Emma Raducanu 1xGS
Coco Gauff 3x250
Leylah Fernandez 2x250
Marta Kostyuk 1x250
Linda Fruhvirtova 1x250
Diana Schnaider 1x125
Qinwen Zheng 1x125

Just outside the top 100 at present are:
Clara Tauson 2x250 plus 1x125
Diane Parry 1x125

Inside the top 100 but not yet having won a WTA event:
Linda Noskova

None of the young players have yet won a WTA1000 or WTA500.

I like this list

I know, from decades, that there will always be a few completely unexpected new faces in the top 10 or so (as well as ones a bit more likely, as per those above)

Kudos to Rybakina who defeated Iga - again - last night

Iga had slight rib pain but, as sha says, most players have some pain, she's been lucky so far, and it wasn't really that - Rybakina just trounced her - great hitting
