Kinboshi:
("gold star" - prize awarded to a non-sanyaku ranked competitor for beating an active Yokozuna):
- none
Other noteworthy developments:
- Ozeki (=Champions) Aryna Sabalenka, Daniil Medvedev and Carlos Alcaraz all held rank with strong results. Sabalenka would get promoted to Yokozuna (=Grand Champion) if she reaches the final at the 2024 French Open, Medvedev if he wins the tournament. By contrast, Marketa Vondrousova lost early and goes kadoban - she needs to reach the quarterfinals at the French Open to hold rank.
- Andrey Rublev held Komusubi (=Junior Champion II) rank with yet another quarterfinal. It's his 10th overall, and he has held Komusubi rank for seven tournaments now, without ever making it to Sekiwake (=Junior Champion II). Both are open era records
