WTA Rankings Update: Coco Gauff up to World No.3 as American duo loom over Iga Swiatek

The WTA Rankings have been updated post Madrid Open with Aryna Sabalenka still very much the top name and will be the foreseeable after scooping a third title at the Caja Magica.

But it is the top 10 otherwise which is the main story with Coco Gauff moving up to World No.3 and becoming American No.1 again. Albeit both her and Jessica Pegula could benefit this next week results dependent.

Swiatek has defend her latest big title in the form of the Rome Open and so she is currently poised to fall two spots to World No.4 if she doesn't. As a result, Gauff and Pegula likely will become World No.2 and World No.3 over the next week.

Jasmine Paolini also rose one spot to become World No.5 and Mirra Andreeva will go up to World No.6 likely this next week too. She doesn't defend anything having lost to Paula Badosa last year in the first round so Madison Keys is likely to be passed.

Emma Navarro has surged up one spot to World No.9 with Paula Badosa completing the top 10. Diana Shnaider moves up two spots to World No.11 as Elena Rybakina and Karolina Muchova fall.

The biggest ranking movers otherwise are Marta Kostyuk who moves up nine spots to World No.27 ater a superb run in Madrid losing to Aryna Sabalenka. Ons Jabeur falls further to World No.36 down eight spots.

Moyuka Uchijima also had a standout week and goes up nine spots. While Naomi Osaka surges past Emma Raducanu to World No.48 up seven spots after winning Saint Malo.

Kaja Juvan who lost in that final shifted up 159 spots to World No.356 as a result. It is now onto Rome and while the World No.1 battle again won't be in the forefront, the battle for World No.2 and seeing whether Iga Swiatek can return to her best will be one to certainly watch.
