Kinboshi:
("gold star" - prize awarded to a non-sanyaku ranked competitor for beating an active Yokozuna):
- Dominic Thiem (ex-Sekiwake) - for beating Dai-Yokozuna Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals
- Qiang Wang - for beating Dai-Yokozuna Serena Williams in round 3
- Cori Gauff - for beating Yokozuna Naomi Ozaka in round 3
Other noteworthy developments:
- Naomi Ozaka failed to reach the quarterfinals for the fourth consecutive grand slam tournament. While Yokozuna cannot be demoted, Ozaka loses active Yokozuna status, and needs a semifinal or two quarterfinals within a year to restore it.
- Ashleigh Barty returns to Ozeki for reaching the semifinals directly after having been demoted from Ozeki to Sekiwake afte rthe US Open. Simona Halep, who was at risk of demotion (kadoban), maintains Ozeki rank for also reaching the semifinals.
