WTA Rankings Update: Barty holds No. 1 as Giorgi makes historic jump

The National Bank Open in Montreal concluded and the new WTA Rankings show some changes with none bigger than Giorgi jumping 37 spots.

Camila Giorgi won her maiden WTA 1000 Masters event in Montreal which allowed the Italian to make a dramatic jump on the new WTA Ranking. Giorgio jumped 37 spots to number 34 which gives her a great chance to be seeded at the US Open.

On top, it's still Ashleigh Barty with the Australian enjoying a huge lead over both Sabalenka and Osaka. Osaka is returning at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati and perhaps she can reduce the gap but for now, she is firmly sitting at 2. As noted above Sabalenka is at 3, Karolina Pliskova is up to number 4, Sofia Kenin is at 5.
