LIVE RANKINGS. Naomi Osaka to end the year as no.3 for 1 point if Svitolina wins the Finals. Andreescu no.6?

Naomi will definitely end the season as the world no.3, but that may happen just for 1 point

Svitolina Osaka Andreescu

Naomi Osaka had a rather eventful year. According to her own words, the Japanese sensation had a “U shaped” season. In fact, after starting in the best possible way with the Australian Open title, she didn’t shine at all for the rest of 2019 until she won the titles in Osaka and Beijing. Unfortunately, everything ended with Naomi retiring from the WTA Finals because of a problem to her shoulder.

LIVE RANKINGS

Naomi has now 5496 points, and she is the world no.3 in the live rankings, followed by Simona Halep that has 5462 points. It’s interesting to notice that Elina Svitolina is no.6 in the live rankings with 5075 points. If she defeats Ashleigh Barty in the final, she will have 5495 points, just 1 less than Naomi that will definitely end the season as no.3.

Bianca Andreescu

The Canadian had a stunning run in 2019 after winning Indian Wells, Toronto, and the US Open. The teenager didn’t have the necessary energy to perform at her best in the last few tournaments. The WTA Finals were a bit of a disaster for Bianca that lost the opener to Simona Halep after she was unable to convert a match point. Later she withdrew against Karolina Pliskova after she got a nasty knee injury. However, after this fantastic year, Bianca is no.5 in the live rankings. She can lose a position if Sbitolina wins the Finals. Still, her 2019 was really sensational.
