Kinboshi:
("gold star" - prize awarded to a non-sanyaku ranked competitor for beating an active Yokozuna):
  • none

Other noteworthy developments:
  • Dai-Yokozuna (Great Grand Champion) Novak Djokovic won his 21st grand slam title. He also takes - for the first time in his career - the #1 spot in the results based open area top 20 ranking, as his deeper record in grand slam finals and semifinals more than compensates for the one title that fellow Dai-Yokozuna Rafael Nadal has more. Nadal had to exit injured before the semi-finals, preventing him from defending his spot.
  • Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Matteo Berrettini all lost active Ozeki (=Champion) status for failing to reach a grand slam quarterfinal for the second time in a row, altough for different reasons: Medvedev was not allowed to participate for his nationality, Tsitsipas exited early, while Berrettini fell sick. They are Sekiwake-Ozeki now: a semifinal at the US Open would get them back to Ozeki. The other Ozeki, Alexander Zverev and Iga Swiatek, go kadoban - they have to reach the quarterfinals at the US Open to hold rank
  • Finalist Nick Kyrgios earned a first time Sekiwake (=Junior Champion I) promotion, more than seven years after ascending to Komusubi (=Junior Champion II) at the 2015 Austrlaian Open. The finalists in the ladies' tournament, Elena Rybakina and Ons Jabeur, also earn a first time Komusubi promotion.
