WTA RANKINGS Update: Jelena Ostapenko rises after Linz win alongside Donna Vekic as Iga Swiatek set to remain World Number One

As the second month of 2024 begins, the WTA Rankings have been updated for another week with stellar runs for Jelena Ostapenko and Donna Vekic, while Iga Swiatek continues to dominate.

Ostapenko added 455 points for winning in Linz and lifted a second trophy of the season as she heads back towards the top 10 again after shuffling back down after the Australian Open and given most players around her have struggled with injuries and have hardly played, a rise is imminent.

Ekaterina Alexandrova who lost in the final is back into the top 20 rising three spots to 19th. While Vekic climbed five spots to move into World No.29, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova also benefited as she looks towards the top 30 at 34th. Diana Shnaider though was the biggest riser of the week going into World No.73 rising 35 spots after winning Hua Hin.

Atop the rankings as was confirmed on Sunday, Swiatek cannot be toppled from top spot for at least a few more weeks due to Aryna Sabalenka's Qatar Open withdrawal. But a player previously in the top five didn't fair too well in Bianca Andreescu with the Canadian who is currently out of action plummeting to World No.144.
