Liv and Tereza slip to 10th in the post US Open race. A few hundred points back. All going to be down to Asian swing, in terms of tour finals, but it's going to be a battle for them to qualify now.

They have 821 points to defend before the tour finals - and only 150 to replace them in back-up counters. They'll need to make at least QF in all the tournaments just to stand still.

But you don't defend in the race? Last seasons don't count at all. That's just the rankings. The race is a straight 2026 only thing.

So although behind and playing catch up now, they won't lose any of those points from 2025
