WTA Rankings Update: Aryna Sabalenka reaches 35 weeks as World No.1 as Jelena Ostapenko back in top 20

Tuesday, 22 April 2025 at 15:18

The WTA Rankings have rolled over for another week with the Stuttgart Open being the final event to conclude before it could be confirmed. Jelena Ostapenko as expected is one of the main movers, while Aryna Sabalenka remains way ahead as World No.1.

Sabalenka has reached 35 weeks as World No.1 and given the likelihood of Iga Swiatek falling down the rankings during the clay court swing, she will likely face more resolution from Jessica Pegula than the current clay queen.

Other than that the top 10 remains basically unchanged with Elena Rybakina falling due to not playing Stuttgart. In her place is Emma Navarro who did play Stuttgart for the first time in her career losing to Ekaterina Alexandrova.

Jelena Ostapenko after winning the title moved up six spots going up into the top 20 again. While Elina Svitolina moved up further towards the top 16 and Amanda Anisimova after winning Rouen.

Olga Danilovic was outside the top 100 previously but is heading towards the top 32 as he breakout continues. She moved up five spots to World No.34 after reaching the Rouen final albeit there were some big falls.

Marta Kostyuk is down 11 spots to World No.36, while Marketa Vondrousova moved down 15 spots. Katie Volynets on her return to the tour this season is also making tracks having moved up 10 spots to World No.70.

Going into Madrid, Madison Keys moves down to World No.6 as Jasmine Paolini moves up to World No.5. Iga Swiatek if she loses early would fall into the trap of Jessica Pegula who can only gain and can't lose. She could be World No.2 come the end of the tournament. Karolina Muchova is also set to move towards the top 10.

Albeit she has a huge gap to make up towards Emma Navarro and is over 1,000 points ahead in the top 10 currently.
