Ons Jabeur, Ozeki

Ons Jabeur became the 

Ons Jabeur

44rd female Ozeki (=Champion) of the Open Era by reaching the semi-finals of the 2022 US Open, following her final participation at Wimbledon. Together these results suffice to clear the 'great hurdle' - the literal meaning of 'Ozeki' in Japanese. By now Jabeur has advanced even further and qualified for the US Open final, where she will play fellow Ozeki Iga Swiatek. 

French Open finalist Caspar Ruud also sports a chance for an Ozeki promotion, provided he beats Karen Khachanov in tonight's semifinal. Khachanov has earned a first time promotion to at least Komusubi (=Junior Champion II). Nick Kyrgios and Cori Gauff were also on Ozeki runs, but exited the tournament too early for completing it. Both will be Sekiwake (=Junior Champion I) after the tournament.

A full update of the Sanyaku rankings lists will be published once the 2022 US Open have ended.
