@@einarsd4 kidding? Her WTA winning percentage is 76%. Who other than IGA has such high winning percentage currently. She is currently ranked 16 and you are talking about 20-30. She might seem inconsistent because she is playing one tournament and them skipping in next couple. That is because at such young age too much play can cause injury. At such young age, muscles are not build up. You have seen what happened to Raducanu. Unless you have genetically athletic body like Williams sisters. One should not play too much at this age. Even carlos inspite of working too much on building muscles has gone through injuries. And therefore he also skips many events. Going forward she gradually play and more. Women are not advised to build muscles unless you may endup like Maria sakkari which leaves body too stuff, thus let it develop naturally.
@@einarsd4 Do you know how many top 10 players she has defeated consistently? Her records at this age are better what COCO had at this age. However media is not so favorable because she is russian.
@@einarsd4 she had to play qualifier for AO and FO 2024 Grand slams and now she is 16th ranked. Her performance in GS are far better than many of top 10 predicted players here. But her ranking points are not that much because she is playing only 50% of tournaments and that is a wise decision at this stage.
I believe Iga is going to be no 1 at the end of the year. This year she would also be if she could play in the Asia swing. It’s a pity we couldn’t see her playing especially in Beijing and Seul. I Think Iga would win some titles and play better at WTA Finals 😢
It does depends on how the partnership with Wim Fissette works out. The aim is to improve the results in the non FO GS tournaments (her weak points to date). If IGa can reach the last 4 of those tournaments plus do well at the Asia swing then she could take back No. 1 in the second half the year. Cam just looks at points defending and recent form. You still need to look at form over the year, Sabalenka has never been a consistent player. Also Rybakina should be considered be a serious force next year. The hiring of Goran Ivanisevic should give her a good basis to get over the Vukov bad old good days as well rely on his experiences (both as a player and coach) to win a GS (eg Wimbledon). Again something overlooked by Cam.
Well, she won the most matches & lost the fewest, out of Top 10 players. She’s threatened to win 70 matches each of the last 3 seasons. She may have peaked, & is declining though. Losing the Olympics semi, is a bad sign for her, imo.
@@TheDeadlyKnight in my opinion she didn’t reach her peak because there are some parts of the game she could be better at (for example coming to the net, second serve) and she’s 23 years old. Of course we’ll see, maybe you’re right

Basically, her long term development as a player would continue to be stagnated. However under Tim Daly, those days are gone. Coco has now begun to thrive. Tim Daly has a very simple plan for Coco. Just for her to go out there and problem solve and use her athletism. That alongside her ability to fight and win; win continue to carry players like Iga, Sabalenka Quinwen and others into deeper waters. Barbora will be next.

My top 5: 1. Swiatek 2. Coco 3. Sabalenka 4. Muchova 5. Zheng Still backing Iga to end as year end no.1. No one has come close to disturb* her clay season where she can get 4500 points max. Also she can gain lot of points in later part of season in North America and Asian tour. For Sabalenka, she needs to defend 2 slams, that’s bit tricky. Also rise of Muchova could be the fall of Sabalenka too. Let’s see. 🤞
Excellent list, especially if Muchova can stay healthy. Gauff and Swiatek have already shown that their coaching changes have worked, and that bodes well for 2025. Rybakina is my favorite player, but I think her coaching change, which looks perfect on paper, won't work out as well. I think she'll get off to a slow start in Australia, probably getting eliminated in early, will pick up some steam through the winter and spring, but won't quite reach the heights some expect. I see her barely cracking the Top 10.
1. Iga Swiatek 2. Aryna Sabalenka 3. Coco Gauff 4. Elena Rybakina 5. Zheng Qinwen 6. Emma Navarro 7. Jessica Pegula 8. Jasmine Paolini 9. Diana Shnaider 10. Paula Badosa Very similar to Cam's, like previous years, just switch Navarro for Muchova.

It’ll be a battle for that #1 like it’s been in the last years. I’d like to see Osaka make the top 10 but it’s so hard to know where her level is at currently.
It will again be a tough competition between Iga and Sabalenka. But in the end I feel Saba will make it. Also Mirra Andreeva seems too good for her top 10 debut.
I do believe Shnaider is a contender for big tournaments next year, her ascension to the top of the game reminds me of Simona Halep's 2013 season honestly.

Plus, she definitely has the game to challenge the top players soo I'm interested in seeing how she'll manage big matches against the likes of Sabalenka, Swiatek and Gauff!
Year end rankings 2025: 1:Sabalenka 2:Gauff 3:Swiatek 4:Zheng 5:Muchova 6:Paolini 7:Badosa 8:Pegula 9:Andreeva 10:Svitolina Furthermore I think that Raducanu will finish in top 15 if she is constantly playing tournaments without injuries. Halep will probably finish top 50( unfortunately I think the rest of her career will be like sharapovas after her ban. To be honest, there will be many surprises during 2025. I STILL HOPE THAT RADWANSKA IS MAKING A COMEBACK (probably won’t happen)
Not exactly prediction but rooting for my favourites in this order Krejcikova & Ostapenko to finish in top 10. Collins to finish in top 15 atleast and Putintseva to finish atleast top 20.
Mirra Andreeva will be in Top 10 by the end of 2025. No doubt about it. I think we are in for a ride in 2025. Should be much more even in Top 10. Might be completely upside down by the end of the season with lot of surprises.
My prediction 1. Sabalenka 2.Swiatek 3. Gauff 4. Rybakina 5. Zheng 6. Muchova 7. Badosa 8. Pegula 9. Andreeva 10. Schnaider Would have Muchova higher but she’s so injury prone. Also I think bencic could have a good comeback considering she isnt that old for how long she has been playing. Also I think raducanus season could be good but better towards the latter end of it.
My top 10 prediction for 2025: 1) Swiatek 2) Sabalenka 3) Rybakina (if healthy) 4) Muchova (if healthy) 5) Zheng 6) Svitolina 7) Ostapenko (if healthy and if she will not make drama and argue with umpires) 8) Krejcikova. (if healthy) 9) Paolini 10) Gauff
If the prediction is about the WTA rankings at the END of next year then all the calculations on the points to defend are completely useless, because they will simply be the sum of the points accumulated from January to December. During the year the system always allows to establish the strongest in the previous 12 months, in order to establish the draws of the various tournaments based on the ranking, while the race for the WTA Finals starts from zero at the beginning of the year, but then at the end of the year the ranking and race coincide. So all those who are including in their reasoning how many points Sabalenka or Paolini or anyone else have to defend are just wasting time (and unfortunately Cam is one of them too).
Defending the points does have an impact overall. Particularly for top ranked players to stay seeded in each tournaments they need to defend previous year’s tournament points. Else they would be unseeded in upcoming tournament. Unseeded player has to play extra match in 500/1000 events and also they might have to face top ranked players in early rounds itself. That’s where defending the points in each tournaments will benefit the players to keep them seeded through out the season.
@@coolyoutuber6237 Defending the points has a negligible impact on the seeding of tournaments, the seeds are a minimum of 16 up to a maximum of 32 and for the top players climbing or falling a few places in the ranking during the year does not change at all the chances of having a favorable draw, linked above all to luck in the lottery, if it is not clear to you I suggest you go and see how the draws of all the tournaments work, in addition to rereading better what I had written in my first comment. In any case, the discussion concerned the prediction of the END OF THE YEAR ranking, where considering the points to defend means having understood little or nothing of how the ranking system works.
@@francescojsb Indeed, and it is strange that so many fail to understand it. Observing the variations in the ranking during the year, going to look at the defending points of the players, is only useful to see if someone beats his best ranking or if the number 1 will increase the number of weeks in the lead or not, for the rest what matters most is to remain number 1 until the end of the year, and for that you simply need to add the points earned from January to December.
@@coolyoutuber6237 you are 100 percent right. Don’t know why these 2 guys don’t understand. Yes as per the rule year end ranking depends only on the points earned from January to end of the season. But the season is not just about final tournament of the season. I ask one question- Why unseeded players during start of the season can’t become year end no.1? If we try to find answer for this question, then we will know, why defending the points does have an impact on year end ranking.
In what dimension is winning 1 slam the same thing as winning Olympic Gold ?? Olympics is once every 4 years, in that time there would have been 16 slams, (16 opportunities instead of 1). Olympics is representing your country, slams is playing for yourself. NOVAX Olympics 2024 post match on court interview said "winning Olympic Gold supercedes everything" !!
OK , can't resist. 'Muchova's gonna play a full year , win 2 slams and 2 1000 level..... Badosa , Keys , Ostapenko and Paolina still in top 15 or so , one more time.
Here is my prediciton. 1. Sabalenka 2. Gauff 3 . Zheng 4.. Rybakina 5. Muchvoa 6. Swiatek 7. Pegula 8. Badosa 9. Andreeva 10. Paolini Swiatek will not win a grand slam. Zheng or Muchova will win their maiden grand slam. Swiatek will lose at FO and will have a spotty clay court season.
You've forgot Mirra Andreeva. She will be #4 at the end of the year. She has good serve, good return, is strong, has excellent fitness and condition, playes with her brain, thinks on the court and places ball intelligently, she is quick but conserves energy, her legs are like springs, she learns very quickly - in accelerated fashion.
its unlikely but i do want to see Naomi Osaka back at least bottom top 10, or somewhere between 10-15! I also want to give a chance at like the younger players like Andreeva to be maybe top 10!!
I think it will be a battle between Świątek and Sabalenka for the lead. Świątek's decline in the 2nd half of the season had a lot to do with behind the scenes of what was going on with her and Wiktorowski. She is free of him now. Sabalenka caught her little declined at the end of the season. But it is not the end of her new found strenght.
Really hoping Muchova remains injury free and she plays often next year - her tennis is just sublime, she's my favourite. I think Shneider might reach higher, and I think Navarro might hold her place somewhere in the lower part of the top 10, with possibly Andreeva sneaking in towards year end. I don't think Rybakina will keep her place, nor Zheng, but praying Paolini remains in the top 10!!
I'm actually pretty much in agreement with these players. Wild cards are Naomi and Belinda coming back, and Mirra with her first truly full year turning 18 in the Summer.
@ricklee5845 Yes. Both tours have a cap on tournaments minors can play to to 1) avoid burnout, 2) avoid injury to not fully developed bodies, 3) minimize minor exploration. Fonseca on the mens side is dealing with the same issue (though I think he turns 18 soon too).
I really appreciate your opinions, Cam, but not sure how you can leave Emma Navarro out of the to 10. Maybe I'm just a biased American, but I really think Coco Gauff is going to win at least 1 grand slam and will be close to overtaking the number 1 spot
Sabalenka wont be able to play with the pressure of being no1. Iga has done this for 2,5 years and still won a lot of titles and 4 slams. Sabalenka has won nothing while she is no1. There ia no way she is defending australia
Cinncinati plus Beijing is more than enough to be nr one for Swiatek. I'm she woudln't lost the leader if not the ban. Although her leader would be tiny. If nothing bad happens, Iga should be back at nr one spot. The rivalry continues!
Well... the top three🤣 - I'm surprised you didn't put Coco as number one, that would have been too obvious, lol. If Shnaider doesn't get injured or affected too much by the heat, she'll be probably be higher than ten. And then there is M.Andreeva who still hasn't arrived on Cam's radar, she'll definitely end up in the top ten. Queen Wen might just end up as number three at the end of the year. The Queen doesn't do 'sick' or 'injured'.
@DanutaStala This creator has a habit of not highlighting Coco's pros and potential properly against her former cons. Jeez also historically gave other players more grace. Every year he alao rates that she'll drop in the rankings and she never does.
@@ivanhall6482 hopefully coco stop playing race card , being so angry all the time , why you assume the worse and attacking people for justifying questions, unsecured? Not my problem…
If you're talking about year end top 10, then it's mostly nonsensical to talk about "points to defend" or "opportunity to gain points". Everybody is starting from 0, it's a matter of how they do this year alone. Do better at some tournaments, less well at others; all that matters is the total. Only place it could be a small factor is with someone like Shnaider, who could move up in the rolling rankings with a a good Australian Open, and thus get better seedings going forward.
@@rickc661Tim Daly is at work. The scary thing about Coco is that, even when her serve is failing her at intervals; her superior problem solving capabilities and athletism, coupled with her will to fight and win; that's more than enough to take players into very deep waters. Now thanks to Daly, she has some guidance as she will now be able to put in the work on her serve during the the off season (unlike Brad). To all of the WTA, the nightmare of COCO GAUFF 2.0 has begun. Come 2025 and beyond, fasten your seatbelts; it's long and bumpy ride.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

4. Gauff
5. Rybakina
6. Pegula
7. Badosa
8. Muchova
9. Collins
10. Andreeva/Jabeur/Collins (cant choose)
Not exactly prediction but rooting for my favourites in this order Krejcikova & Ostapenko to finish in top 10. Collins to finish in top 15 atleast and Putintseva to finish atleast top 20.
No love for navarro?! I think shes moving up, solid player
Never a high profile and came in under the radar. I would put her in my Top 10 through consistency and sheer work ethics.
@ agreed, consistency is what i find impressive
Cant wait to see Świątek smashes 2025
I agree with Sabalenka for sure! And the ranking is looking good. Really hope to see Osaka and Bencic step up and getting closer to the top 10!
Mirra Andreeva will be in Top 10 by the end of 2025. No doubt about it. I think we are in for a ride in 2025. Should be much more even in Top 10. Might be completely upside down by the end of the season with lot of surprises.
My prediction
1. Sabalenka
2.Swiatek
3. Gauff
4. Rybakina
5. Zheng
6. Muchova
7. Badosa
8. Pegula
9. Andreeva
10. Schnaider
Would have Muchova higher but she’s so injury prone. Also I think bencic could have a good comeback considering she isnt that old for how long she has been playing. Also I think raducanus season could be good but better towards the latter end of it.
Also I back Sabalenka to have a good shot at Wimbledon as she missed it and she can gain lots of points as she is a good grass player.
My 2025 wta top 10 prediction list is :
1)sabalenka
2)gauf
3)swiatek
4)quinwen zheng
5)rybakina
6)pegula

Damn you got Gauff dropping to 10? That's a bit extreme...
@@gggmmm7204 Gauff might drop down in rankings due to her young age and inexperience.
If the prediction is about the WTA rankings at the END of next year then all the calculations on the points to defend are completely useless, because they will simply be the sum of the points accumulated from January to December.
During the year the system always allows to establish the strongest in the previous 12 months, in order to establish the draws of the various tournaments based on the ranking, while the race for the WTA Finals starts from zero at the beginning of the year, but then at the end of the year the ranking and race coincide.
So all those who are including in their reasoning how many points Sabalenka or Paolini or anyone else have to defend are just wasting time (and unfortunately Cam is one of them too).
Defending the points does have an impact overall. Particularly for top ranked players to stay seeded in each tournaments they need to defend previous year’s tournament points. Else they would be unseeded in upcoming tournament. Unseeded player has to play extra match in 500/1000 events and also they might have to face top ranked players in early rounds itself. That’s where defending the points in each tournaments will benefit the players to keep them seeded through out the season.
@@coolyoutuber6237 Defending the points has a negligible impact on the seeding of tournaments, the seeds are a minimum of 16 up to a maximum of 32 and for the top players climbing or falling a few places in the ranking during the year does not change at all the chances of having a favorable draw, linked above all to luck in the lottery, if it is not clear to you I suggest you go and see how the draws of all the tournaments work, in addition to rereading better what I had written in my first comment.
In any case, the discussion concerned the prediction of the END OF THE YEAR ranking, where considering the points to defend means having understood little or nothing of how the ranking system works.
@@francescojsb Indeed, and it is strange that so many fail to understand it.
Observing the variations in the ranking during the year, going to look at the defending points of the players, is only useful to see if someone beats his best ranking or if the number 1 will increase the number of weeks in the lead or not, for the rest what matters most is to remain number 1 until the end of the year, and for that you simply need to add the points earned from January to December.
@@coolyoutuber6237 you are 100 percent right. Don’t know why these 2 guys don’t understand. Yes as per the rule year end ranking depends only on the points earned from January to end of the season. But the season is not just about final tournament of the season. I ask one question- Why unseeded players during start of the season can’t become year end no.1? If we try to find answer for this question, then we will know, why defending the points does have an impact on year end ranking.
I hope this year the doping tests will obligate to punish all cheaters. (2 years, not one month)
Top 10 WTA predictions (2025):
1. Sabalenka
2. Gauff
3. Rybakina
4. Swiatek
5. Zheng
6. Shnaider
7. Muchova
8. Badosa
9. Andreeva
10. Pegula
Muchova is very good too.....love her game
Why is nobody talking about Rybakina? When healthy she's easily a top 3 player.
Shcnaider and mucvova could make top5 if they have hot injury free seasons not many points to lose. But cam makes a lot of sense
Zheng instead of winning gold medal will win first major next year. It's basically the same thing IMO.
In what dimension is winning 1 slam the same thing as winning Olympic Gold ??
Olympics is once every 4 years, in that time there would have been 16 slams,
(16 opportunities instead of 1).
Olympics is representing your country, slams is playing for yourself.
NOVAX Olympics 2024 post match on court interview said "winning Olympic Gold supercedes everything" !!
@@robertmartin7594for many olympics isnt as important as a slam.
Yes Im thinking Zheng will win RG.
OK , can't resist. 'Muchova's gonna play a full year , win 2 slams and 2 1000 level..... Badosa , Keys , Ostapenko and Paolina still in top 15 or so , one more time.
My top 5:
Coco
Sabalenka
Iga
Muchova
Rybakina
Here is my prediciton.
1. Sabalenka
2. Gauff
3 . Zheng
4.. Rybakina
5. Muchvoa
6. Swiatek
7. Pegula
8. Badosa
9. Andreeva
10. Paolini
Swiatek will not win a grand slam. Zheng or Muchova will win their maiden grand slam. Swiatek will lose at FO and will have a spotty clay court season.
You've forgot Mirra Andreeva.
She will be #4 at the end of the year.
She has good serve, good return, is strong, has excellent fitness and condition, playes with her brain, thinks on the court and places ball intelligently, she is quick but conserves energy, her legs are like springs, she learns very quickly - in accelerated fashion.
1 Sabalenka
2 Gauff
3 Zheng
4 Swiatek
5 Rybakina
6 Shnaider
7 Navarro
8 Muchova
9 Badosa
10 Andreeva
its unlikely but i do want to see Naomi Osaka back at least bottom top 10, or somewhere between 10-15! I also want to give a chance at like the younger players like Andreeva to be maybe top 10!!
I can give you Mirra top ten but Osaka... best I can do for you is 11 - 15
Andreeva and Muchova TOP 5
Yeah would have andreeva in top 10
Krejicokova
Andreeva
Osaka
Emma Navarro: you can see me?
No - who are you??
My dream top 10:
1. Sabalenka
2. Rybakina
3. Swiatek
4. Gauff
5. Anisimova
6. Muchova
7. Zheng
8. Badosa
9. Pegula
10. Ostapenko
Navarro and Krejcikova should not be underestimated either.
I agree with you. Saba is better than Iga and will prove it over the long run.
I think it will be a battle between Świątek and Sabalenka for the lead.
Świątek's decline in the 2nd half of the season had a lot to do with behind the scenes of what was going on with her and Wiktorowski. She is free of him now.
Sabalenka caught her little declined at the end of the season. But it is not the end of her new found strenght.
Go tiger 🐅 go sabby
Really hoping Muchova remains injury free and she plays often next year - her tennis is just sublime, she's my favourite. I think Shneider might reach higher, and I think Navarro might hold her place somewhere in the lower part of the top 10, with possibly Andreeva sneaking in towards year end. I don't think Rybakina will keep her place, nor Zheng, but praying Paolini remains in the top 10!!
I see muchova in top 5
not to be that guy, but... you used ">1%" instead of "
not to be that guy but hes saying those tournaments with >1% equate to less than one percent of their total ranking points. (;
@@alexanderborg962yeah but > means greater than. I think he meant less than
... = less than
@@alexanderborg962 According to wiki:
> Greater-than sign
< Less-than sign
Please be correct next time.
Muchova can easily be top 5 in 2025. Navarro, Osaka and maybe Kalinskaya is she stays healthy all year are also good choices to be on that list
I'm actually pretty much in agreement with these players. Wild cards are Naomi and Belinda coming back, and Mirra with her first truly full year turning 18 in the Summer.
I probably missed something there... did Mirra's young age actually affect how much she played in 2024?
@ricklee5845 Yes. Both tours have a cap on tournaments minors can play to to 1) avoid burnout, 2) avoid injury to not fully developed bodies, 3) minimize minor exploration. Fonseca on the mens side is dealing with the same issue (though I think he turns 18 soon too).
Need to look out for Krejikova as an upset alert. Then there is Jabeur potentially returning as another player who can create an upset.
COCO GAUFF 2.0: TARGET IN SIGHT🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My top 5
1: Coco Gauff
2: Sabalenka
3:Iga swiatek
4:Zheng
5:Rybakina
iga could crumble out of top10 if she dont perform at rg
@@gonderAmh you serious? why would she?
@@gonderAmh that's more of your wish than reality
I really appreciate your opinions, Cam, but not sure how you can leave Emma Navarro out of the to 10. Maybe I'm just a biased American, but I really think Coco Gauff is going to win at least 1 grand slam and will be close to overtaking the number 1 spot
do you think ons could make a comeback to top 20
if she is healthy, i think she has the skills and grit to push back into top 20
No. Her expiry date has come and gone.
Sabalenka wont be able to play with the pressure of being no1. Iga has done this for 2,5 years and still won a lot of titles and 4 slams. Sabalenka has won nothing while she is no1. There ia no way she is defending australia
Cinncinati plus Beijing is more than enough to be nr one for Swiatek. I'm she woudln't lost the leader if not the ban. Although her leader would be tiny. If nothing bad happens, Iga should be back at nr one spot. The rivalry continues!
Rybakina top 3❤
Well... the top three🤣 - I'm surprised you didn't put Coco as number one, that would have been too obvious, lol.
If Shnaider doesn't get injured or affected too much by the heat, she'll be probably be higher than ten. And then there is M.Andreeva who still hasn't arrived on Cam's radar, she'll definitely end up in the top ten.
Queen Wen might just end up as number three at the end of the year. The Queen doesn't do 'sick' or 'injured'.
1ga
Finally! Justice for Coco!
What you mean?
@DanutaStala This creator has a habit of not highlighting Coco's pros and potential properly against her former cons. Jeez also historically gave other players more grace. Every year he alao rates that she'll drop in the rankings and she never does.
@@ivanhall6482 hopefully coco stop playing race card , being so angry all the time , why you assume the worse and attacking people for justifying questions, unsecured? Not my problem…
What about Emma Navarro?
Call me crazy but I think Collin’s might be a fixture in top 10 next year
1. Iga
2. Aryna
3. Coco
If you're talking about year end top 10, then it's mostly nonsensical to talk about "points to defend" or "opportunity to gain points". Everybody is starting from 0, it's a matter of how they do this year alone. Do better at some tournaments, less well at others; all that matters is the total. Only place it could be a small factor is with someone like Shnaider, who could move up in the rolling rankings with a a good Australian Open, and thus get better seedings going forward.
Osaka - enters the top 10
Iga - doesn’t win a slam this year
Gauf- wins RG or a hard court slam
Sabalenka - Wins 2 slams again
My prediction no 1. Stefi Graf 2. Serena Williams 3. Martina Nafratilova

Mirra Andreeva???
no osaka at all is a bit of a surprise
I hope Naomi is back in the top 10 next year too!
I think Coco could overtake Iga and challenge the number one spot.
agree , IF She can control the serve , She's so young.....
I guess, dreaming isn't against the law yet🤔🤔
@@rickc661Tim Daly is at work. The scary thing about Coco is that, even when her serve is failing her at intervals; her superior problem solving capabilities and athletism, coupled with her will to fight and win; that's more than enough to take players into very deep waters.
Now thanks to Daly, she has some guidance as she will now be able to put in the work on her serve during the the off season (unlike Brad).
To all of the WTA, the nightmare of COCO GAUFF 2.0 has begun. Come 2025 and beyond, fasten your seatbelts; it's long and bumpy ride.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I hope Jasmine Paolini goes up to top 5
Coco Guaff no. 1 for me
jessica pegula did [play the austrlian open she lost 2nd round because i was at the match she lost
Paolini?

You sure have brushed up on your stats. But where in tarnation does Djokovic come from? He ain't goin' nowhere in a wheelchair🤔🤔
The year end rankings for 2025 ARE NOT AFFECTED by 2024 results . So analyzing the points they will drop from 2024 is totally irrelevant.
