Kinboshi:
("gold star" - prize awarded to a non-sanyaku ranked competitor for beating an active Yokozuna):
- none
Other noteworthy developments:
- Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka were both on a Yokozuna (=Grand Champion) run, but would have needed to win the tournament to get promoted. As they reached the quarterfinal or better, however, both defended Ozeki (=Champion) rank. Also Carlos Alcaraz, Ons Jabeur and Elena Rybakina confirmed Ozeki status, while Casper Ruud goes kadoban - he needs to get to the quarterfinals at the 2023 US Open to hold rank. Alcaraz is on now on a Yokozuna run.
- Dai-Yokozuna (=Champion) Rafael Nadal missed the tournament injured and loses active Yokozuna status, as he hasn't been in a Grand Slam quarterfinal in a year.
- Former Sekiwake (= Junior Champion I) Marketa Vondrousova and Elena Svitolina returned to their former rank after lengthy absences due to injury/pregnancy, respectively.
