Women’s singles

Priscilla Hon continues her career-best season after breaking into the WTA singles top 100 for the first time. The 27-year-old rose 13 places to world No.95 following her impressive week in Beijing. The qualifier made her maiden third-round appearance at a WTA 1000 event, defeating 22nd seed Jelena Ostapenko to reach that point. Maya Joint, another third-round finisher in Beijing, also achieved a career-high ranking this week. Following a campaign that included defeating world No.19 Diana Shnaider in straight sets, Joint improved to world No.35, edging her closer to becoming seeded at Australian Open 2026. Meanwhile, Emerson Jones climbed 11 places to world No.166 after she was a finalist at an ITF W50 tournament in Rancho Santa Fe, California. She fell to countrywoman Olivia Gadecki, who jumped more than 60 places, to world No.233

Men’s singles

Aleksandar Vukic is the biggest climber within Australia’s top 10 after reaching the quarterfinals in Tokyo. Vukic qualified for the event before recording victories against top-100 players Damir Dzumhur and Daniel Altmaier to progress to the final eight, his best result at ATP-500 level. The New South Welshman moved up 16 places to world No.79, his highest ranking since June. James Duckworth and Tristan Schoolkate also enjoy ranking spikes as they aim to finish the season on a high. Alex de Minaur maintains his mantle as Australia’s top-ranked men’s singles player after reaching the semifinals in Beijing – his fourth ATP semifinal of 2025.
