Osaka climbs 42 spots, Collins back to top 10 in newest WTA Rankings

A couple of players have been making moves on today's WTA Rankings with Naomi Osaka jumping 42 spots on the ranking after her Miami Open run to the final with Danielle Collins back into the top 10.

After an eight-week absence from the Top 10, an American returns to the Top 10 with Danielle Collins leaping three spots to a career-high of No.8. After starting the season at No.29, Collins has competed in three tournaments this year, finishing as a finalist at the Australian Open, losing in the opening match in Dubai and, most recently, reaching the quarterfinals in Miami before falling to eventual finalist Osaka.

Osaka meanwhile did a similar thing. A finalist in Miami, she moved from No.77 to No.35, climbing 42 spots this week, the biggest jump among this week’s Top 100. Entering Miami, Osaka was on the verge of dropping out of the Top 100, but she was able to earn 650 ranking points in Miami.

They are not the only players making moves but they are some of the most notable players that have been able to better their ranking position. Both will be looking to continue the great trend on European clay. Osaka even admitted she will take it very seriously while Collins has a very good clay game.
