WTA Rankings Update: Barty on top as Swiatek enters top 10

A week of great tennis in WTA tour brought us a lot of great matches and a new face in the top 10 as Iga Swiatek moves in after her Rome Masters title.

The Polish player ended her great run at the Rome Masters with the trophy that propelled her into the top 10 of the WTA Rankings. Ashleigh Barty retired following an injury but she did more than enough to hold on to the number one spot in the rankings.

No other changes happened in the top 10 with the top 20 remanining largely unchanged as well. A couple of Americans had good runs at the Rome Masters as Pegula and Gauff moved up the rankings. Pegula sits now at 28 while Gauff is number 30. Vera Zvonareva had her best outing in Rome ever jumping 17 spots in total.
