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.
She is back in the top 100 being ranked number 96. Nine players achieved new career high rankings today and they are as follows: Swiatek at 9, Sakkari at 18, Muchova at 19, Pegula at 28 (top 30 debut), Gauff at 30 (top 30 debut), Podoroska at 42, Fernandez at 69, Tauson at 90 and Paolini at 91.

- No surprise really. When things go wrong, you start to see the real Djokovic. He has.a history of throwing tantrums, swearing, destroying rackets, comimg up with excuses and, and, and...... I honestly find it difficult to like or respect this guy.GustafC15-04-2024
- Not only did he Lose... he has shown yet again he is a Loser. If his behavior is a surprise to anyone, then you have a poor ability to assess a person's true being. Or do not wish to see it. A hint may have been when anti-Vax Boy contracted Covid, yet knowingly exposed kids & adults while taking selfies and promo photos with small crowds during at least two publicity functions. That's not the actions of someone who is at all concerned about others! No matter who it may be, famous or not, sooner or later their true identity shines through the façade.
