Few changes in WTA Rankings as Swiatek begins another week as number one
WTA
Despite a few events being played on the WTA Tour, the rankings didn't feature many changes, with Iga Swiatek staying top.
Swiatek played tennis last week, but it was a charity match for Ukraine that raised over 400,000 Euros for the war victims. Despite not playing competitively, she is still comfortably in the lead in the WTA Rankings, thanks to her dominant season so far.
The Pole leads with 8,336 points and a massive margin towards the player behind her, as her closest competitor is Anett Kontaveit, who is in a fight for the World No. 2 spot with multiple players.
The Estonian has 4,476 points to her name, and right behind her is Maria Sakkari with 4,190 points. Fourth in the rankings is Paula Badosa with 4,030 points, and behind her Ons Jabeur with 4,010 points.
Aryna Sabalenka is sixth, having accumulated a total of 3,267 points across the past 12 months, only a little ahead of Jessica Pegula with 3,087 points.
The only change in the Top 10 was Garbine Muguruza's move back to number 8 over Danielle Collins, who dropped down to number 9. Neither of those players played last week, as they are resting up for the North American hardcourt swing.
Rounding up the Top 10 is the 2021 US Open champion, Emma Raducanu, who has 2,717 points, with a small lead ahead of another teenager, 11th Coco Gauff, with 2,647 points.
Irina-Camelie Begu is the biggest mover in the Top 50 this week, jumping up 12 spots to number 33. The biggest mover overall was Bernarda Pera, who won her second career trophy last week in Hamburg, and she moved up 27 spots to number 53.
On the other hand, Naomi Osaka fell by another two places, to 40th in the rankings, three places ahead of Elina Svitolina and two more ahead of Caroline Garcia.
