WTA Ranking Update after Indian Wells: Champion Swiatek up to career high of World Number Two, Sakkari new World Number Three

The BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells saw Iga Swiatek crowned as champion continuing her incredible run in WTA 1000 tournaments and also her superb form since the turn of the year.

All of this without having played on her preferred surface of clay yet which is to come and she is now World Number Two as a result of winning in the desert, a new career high.

She will now have the World Number One spot firmly in her sights going into that portion of the season especially with Ashleigh Barty not playing until clay.

While Maria Sakkari despite losing in another final went up to a career high of World Number Three as the Greek continues her remarkable rise. Similarly, the 26-year-old still has clay to play on which saw her reach the semi-finals of Roland Garros last year and is also her preferred surface.

As a result of these changes, the top 10 is shaken up on the latest WTA Ranking Update further with Barbora Krejcikova and Aryna Sabalenka the players to miss out going down to 4th and 5th respectively. Paula Badosa rose one spot to 5th, while Anett Kontaveit is down two to 7th.

Other career highs from this week include the in-form Veronika Kudermetova who is up to World Number 23. As well as Liudmila Samsonova (30th), Camila Osorio (34th) and Harriet Dart who emerged as the latest British talent this week and broke the top 100 for the first time.
