How many points will Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Amanda Anisimova drop at 2025 Canadian Open?

The 2025 Canadian Open is just around the corner, and while fans are excited to see their favorite stars in action, there’s another big talking point — how many ranking points will the top American women and Aryna Sabalenka drop if they don’t match their performances from last year?

Let’s start with Aryna Sabalenka. In the 2024 edition of the Canadian Open, she had a strong showing, making it to the semifinals. That earned her 390 WTA points. If she doesn’t go that far this year, those points will come off her total ranking, possibly shaking up her position in the top 5. Sabalenka has been consistent on hard courts, but pressure is high when points are on the line.

Next up is Coco Gauff, the rising American star who reached the quarterfinals last year and picked up 215 points. Gauff has been having a solid season overall, but defending those points is important if she wants to hold or improve her current ranking. If she exits early, she’ll feel it in the rankings — and so will her fans.

Jessica Pegula, one of the steadiest players on tour, earned 120 points at the Canadian Open in 2024 after making it to the third round. It might not sound like much, but in the race for year-end rankings and seeding for big tournaments like the US Open, every point counts. A strong showing this time around could help her climb even higher.

Amanda Anisimova is also in the mix. Though she’s been working her way back from injury and time off, she earned 65 points in the last Canadian Open. While that’s not a huge total, it’s still something she’ll need to defend — especially as she rebuilds her position on tour.

So why do these points matter so much? In tennis, players defend the points they earned the year before at each tournament. If they do worse this year, they lose the difference in points, which can lead to big ranking changes. On the flip side, if they do better, they can leap ahead of their competition.

Fans will be watching closely to see not just who wins, but how these point battles play out. The Canadian Open isn’t just about lifting a trophy — it’s about protecting your turf on the WTA ladder. Let’s see who rises to the occasion!
