Updated WTA Rankings after 2023 season openers: Sabalenka and Gauff strengthen ranking lead after titles but no rise, Keys only mover in top ten

After an exciting start to the new year and plenty of tennis played we have our first WTA rankings update and there has been only one move in the top 10.

Coco Gauff finally won a trophy as the young player navigated a tricky week in rainy Auckland to lift her 3rd career trophy. 250 points were earned but that was not enough for her to move on the rankings. She's still 7th trailing Swiatek who is first, Jabeur 2nd, Pegula 3rd, Garcia 4th. Aryna Sabalenka also won a trophy last week but she too remained at her ranking (5) ahead of Maria Sakkari who is 6th.

The only move in the top 10 was Madison Keys returning to the top 10 at number ten due to Simona Halep sliding out. There has been some minor movement in the lower ranks as well with Naomi Osaka dropping down to number 47. She won't be making her return to tennis any time soon so that slide is set to continue.

A couple of breakout performances by Masarova and Noskova got them into the top 100. Masarova jumped 36 spots to number 94 with Noskova jumping 46 spots to number 56. Check it all out below.
