WTA RANKINGS UPDATE after Indian Wells: Iga SWIATEK continues to build World Number One lead, new career highs for NAVARRO and KOSTYUK

The WTA Rankings have been updated after Indian Wells with Iga Swiatek set for yet another week on top which will continue for some time after regaining the title she last won in 2022.

It is only a week of gains for Swiatek with Aryna Sabalenka dropping points after failing to defend her final run, the same can be said for Elena Rybakina who could soon have Jessica Pegula on her tail. Qinwen Zheng is the only mover in the top ten going back to her career high of World Number Seven. While Daria Kasatkina has also benefited from another Czech not playing in Karolina Muchova to move to World Number 11.

Marta Kostyuk who lost in the semi-final to Iga Swiatek is also up sixth to a new career high of World No.26.

Yue Yuan is also up to a new best going up 12 to World No.37 while rises also for Diane Parry and Erika Andreeva (54 and 94) to their best yet. Also as confirmed yesterday, Angelique Kerber, Naomi Osaka and Caroline Wozniacki all made huge strides with the German in particular going up over 650 spots in one of the biggest rises of the week.
