For the first time in 20 years, three American women are ranked in the top-6 after Madison Keys reached her best-ever ranking at No. 6. She joins Coco Gauff (No. 3) and Jessica Pegula (No. 5) in a great moment for U.S. women's representatives.
While Keys did not play any tournaments this week, Elena Rybakina lost points after falling in the semifinals of the Abu Dhabi Open (she had reached the final last season). This moved Keys up to No. 6 just one week shy of her 30th birthday.
The American made a surprise at the Australian Open to win her first major title, more than 7 years after her first Grand Slam final at US Open 2017 against Sloane Stephens. This time she beat world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the final.
The world No. 6 is on a 12-0 run at the start of 2025 after winning the WTA 500 Adelaide International and conquering Melbourne.
The last time three players were this high was in early March 2004 - even before the birth of Coco Gauff. At that time Lindsay Daveport (No. 4), Jennifer Capriati (No. 5) and Serena Williams (No. 6) were the only American representatives. She joins Chanda Rubin who was at world No. 9 at the time.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
