WTA Rankings Update: Iga Swiatek ties Ashleigh Barty's World No.1 reign as Gadecki, Frech and Kartal rise

Monday, 16 September 2024 at 18:20

The WTA Rankings have been updated for the latest week and while there has been limited movement due to the top names not playing a tournament since the US Open, it has seen Iga Swiatek reach a milestone and new names shine.

The only change within the top 10 this week was Danielle Collins returning to the top 10. She lost in her first match at the Guadalajara Open to Olivia Gadecki and dropped 184 points as a result due to her run in San Diego last year.

However Barbora Krejcikova couldn't defend her San Diego Open of course so dropped 470 points falling out of the top 10. Maria Sakkari as a result also benefited going up one spot to 9th. Albeit she will soon drop to 16th with her Guadalajara points coming off next week due to it being moved earlier in the calendar so will go down to 16th.

Swiatek also tied Ashleigh Barty this week for the seventh most weeks as World No.1 in WTA Ranking history. She now sits behind Monica Seles, Martina Hingis, Chris Evert, Serena Williams, Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf. She starts her 121st week as World No.1 in the process.

Other beneficiaries this week include Magdalena Frech and Sonay Kartal who won the titles on the WTA Tour. The former sealed Guadalajara moving to a career best of 32nd up 11 spots.

Sonay Kartal was a leading beneficiary after winning Monastir.

Whilst Kartal's run at the Jasmin Open in Monastir earned her 268 points. She now sits in the top 100 for the first time in her career after breaking into the top 120 initially by making the final.

Olivia Gadecki lost in the final in Guadalajara and now moves to World No.88. Rebecca Sramkova who lost to Kartal sits on the cusp of the top 100. Diana Shnaider also attains a new career high of 16th as others around her dropped points.
