The top two players so far this year are
Aryna Sabalenka and
Elena Rybakina and it's reflected in the
WTA Race which has Sabalenka and Rybakina ahead of
Iga Swiatek and
Jessica Pegula.
The Race shows the real-time rankings with points only earned this year and on top it's Sabalenka who in all fairness has been the best player so far and the only major champion so far. Rybakina is a solid second after winning the Indian Wells Masters yesterday and Swiatek is the 3rd. The fourth is Jessica Pegula with Bencic after that and Krejcikova at number 6.
