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 23rd grand slam title, thereby becoming the sole record winner of grand slam tournaments, ahead of 22-times winner Rafael Nadal. Fellow Dai-Yokozuna Nadal sat out the tournament injured and will lose active Yokozuna status if he fails to reach the seminfal at the 2023 Wimbledon tournament.
- Ozeki (=Champion) Iga Swiatek, Ons Jabeur, Aryna Sabalenka and Caspar Ruud all held rank with quarterfinal participtations or better. Australian Open champion Sabalenka was on a Yokozuna (=Grand Champion), which failed for now due to a loss in the semifinals to Karolina Muchova. However, Sabalenka and French Open champion Swiatek are both on active Yokozuna runs now, as either of them would be promoted to the highest rank if they win Wimbledon.
- Sekiwake (=Junior Champion I) and ex-Ozeki Stefanos Tsitsipas, Sekiwake Karen Khachanov and Komusubi and ex-Sekiwake Cori Gauff all held rank with quarterfinal participations.
