Pegula returns to World Number 3 as only change in top 10 of updated WTA Rankings

Jessica Pegula is back to number 3 after a good run at the Qatar Open which saw her contest the final and lose to Iga Swiatek who remains number one.

For all of those that wondered if Iga Swiatek is still good at tennis, the response is that she is. A record-breaking run in Doha ensured that she didn't lose any points as she continues to sit at the top of the WTA Rankings. The second is Sabalenka with Pegula jumping over Jabeur to return to number 3.

That is the only change in the top 10 as we saw some minor changes down the line. Kvitova dropped two spots as Ostapenko dropped six spots. Several players moved up as Samsonova is up two spots, Azarenka three, Alexandrova two, Pliskova one and Badosa one. The biggest jump in the top 100 was made by Kamilla Rakhimova who jumped 17 spots to number 97.
