WTA Rankings Update: Kontaveit rises to 14 with no changes in top 10

Not many of the top tennis players played last week as the majority of them are resting and preparing for the final tennis events in the year. Most are focusing on the WTA Finals with this week being the crucial one in determining which players will qualify. The top 10 remained the same, it's still Barty on top ahead of Sabalenka, Pliskova, Krejcikova, Muguruza, Svitolina, Sakkari and Jabeur.

Anett Kontaveit played an amazing event in Moscow winning the Kremlin Cup. That allowed her to jump 6 spots to number 14. The Estonian is firmly in the battle for Guadalajara but she will need to win the Transylvania Open to do so. Simona Halep and Emma Raducanu both moved up on the rankings with Simona now 18th and Emma 23rd.
