Aryna Sabalenka finished as the world's No.1 female tennis player in the updated WTA year-end rankings 2024 on Monday. Despite failing to reach the final of the WTA Finals, the star Belarusian clinched the Australian Open and US Open titles in 2024 to snatch the world No.1 crown from Iga Swiatek.

Iga Swiatek won the Roland-Garros but suffered early exits in the rest of the three majors in 2024. Swiatek also failed to reach the knockout stages of the recent WTA Finals in Riyadh with two defeats in three matches. She finishes the season in the second position in the WTA year-end rankings with 8370 points.

Sabalenka enjoyed a sensational 2024 season with two Grand Slam titles to finish with 9417 points. WTA Finals champion Coco Gauff held her third position in the updated rankings with 6530 points.

The rising Italian Jasmine Paolini ended the 2024 season as the world No.4 after achieving her best performances in all four majors. She made the finals of the French Open and Wimbledon in 2024 and was notably not present in the top 30 in the 2023 year-end rankings.

Zheng surpassed Elena Rybakina to claim the 5th position in the WTA year-end rankings 2024.
