Simona Halep moves back inside top 10 as Gauff debuts as number one in doubles

A very interesting week of tennis in Toronto brings us a couple of changes on the WTA Rankings and it's all about Halep and Coco Gauff.

Coco Gauff actually lost one sport on the singles ranking dropping down to number 12 and her top 10 debut in the singles ranking will have to wait another week. The American could have broken into the top ten two weeks ago during San Jose but she failed to beat Paula Badosa and it's still yet to happen. She did win the doubles trophy with Pegula in Toronto and that's enough for her to become number one in doubles.

When it comes to the singles, it's still Iga Swiatek on top but there have been some changes below her. Sakkari is back to number 3 as Badosa slid down to number 4 with Simona Halep returning to the top 10 once more. The Romanian moved up nine spots after her trophy in Toronto and she's ranked number 6. The other finalist, Beatriz Haddad Maia moved up 8 spots to number 16.

It's a new career high ranking for her and she's joined in that regard by Qinwen Zheng who moved up 10 spots to number 41, a new career high as well. Plenty of players made moves on today's ranking change and you can check it out on our dedicated rankings page.
