Andreescu into top 5

US Open winner Bianca Andreescu, 200th in the world rankings a year ago, leapt into the top five yesterday, while Ashleigh Barty knocked Naomi Osaka off top spot. Eliminated in the first qualifying round in New York a year ago, Andreescu rose 10 places to No. 5 after beating Serena Williams in the final on Saturday. The 19-year-old Canadian is one place behind Osaka, whose US Open title defense ended in the last eight. Barty was also knocked out in the quarters but, since she was beaten in the fourth round in 2018, increased her ranking points total. The Australian is just over 400 points ahead of the Czech Karolina Pliskova, who climbed one place to second. Elina Svitolina rose two spots to third.
