WTA Ranking Update: Kontaveit up to career high after St Petersburg win, Raducanu heads towards Top 10

The WTA Ranking has been updated after the sole tournament taking place this week which saw Anett Kontaveit win the St Petersburg Ladies Trophy.

Kontaveit is now up to a career high of sixth in the world and is closing in on Karolina Pliskova and Paula Badosa in 4th and 5th as the rise of the Estonian continues.

Despite not playing in the past week, there were also new career highs for Jessica Pegula and also Emma Raducanu with money as usual falling off the ranking for other players.

Raducanu moves up to 12th, while Pegula is further into top 15 in 14th. Also new career highs for Tamara Zidansek (26), Tereza Martincova (40) and Marta Kostyuk (49).

In addition, in terms of the top 10, Kontaveit's rise has meant falls for Garbine Muguruza, Maria Sakkari (the losing finalist) and Iga Swiatek with all three going down a spot to accommodate the rise of the former.

While Sakkari had to withdraw due to playing in the final in Russia, Muguruza and Swiatek are in action this week in Dubai.
