Aryna Sabalenka leads WTA Race as Swiatek up to number 3, and Krejcikova jumps 18 spots to number six

A couple of major shifts happened in the WTA Race to the Finals with Swiatek and Krejcikova moving up as Sabalenka holds down number one for another week.

Being number one in the WTA Race doesn't give you any trophies but it's a good indicator you might battle for a big one at the end of the season. For now, the position is occupied by Aryna Sabalenka, the Australian Open champion who has a decent lead over Rybakina. Iga Swiatek moved up to number 3 after her run in Dubai but narrowly missed out on number two.
