WTA Rankings Update: Marta Kostyuk rises into top 15 after Madrid title as Iga Swiatek returns to top three
WTAMonday, 04 May 2026 at 09:39
The WTA Rankings have been updated after the Madrid Open with Marta Kostyuk sealing the title and in fact the main ranking rise as expected.
Kostyuk won the third title of her career and her second over the past month after winning Rouen. She dropped only one set in six matches against Anastasia Potapova in the semi-finals in fact and defeated two top 10 players in Jessica Pegula and Mirra Andreeva to claim the title.
The 23-year-old rises to a new career high of World No.15 as a result of this. While in the top 10 further up due to Coco Gauff dropping final points, Iga Swiatek is up to World No.3 again.
Gauff falls out the top three and given she also had big points from Rome and Roland Garros, she is very likely to drop even more in the coming weeks. Finalist in Madrid, Mirra Andreeva still makes a solid gain and overtakes Jasmine Paolini for World No.7.
Baptiste and Potapova win big
Semi-finalist last year but eliminated in her opening match, Elina Svitolina drops three spots but remains in the top 10 for now. Hailey Baptiste who was one of the big winners of the tournament reaching the semi-finals and wiping out Aryna Sabalenka achieves a new career high of World No.25.
Hailey Baptiste of the United States celebrates the victory against Aryna Sabalenka during the Women's Singles quarter-final match on day nine during the Mutua Madrid Open 2026
Anastasia Potapova also rises going from World No.56 to World No.38 while Caty McNally also rises again after her recent return from injury. She is up to World No.63 with her career high previously being World No.54.
So overall a good week of action and heading into Rome, it will be soon time to go again with Gauff and Paolini the leading focus given the amount of points they have to defend.

- WTF is this here for????
- Doubt she recalls which 'man' she acquired those underwear from... but the label probably has "ATP" on it.
- I've lately been thinking everyone is pointing to the wrong location for "illness" and constant "injury". Perhaps some 'couch time' is in order at this point?
- She has long outlived this shitshow she started. So, according to this lucky winner, ALL THE WORLD's CITIZENS should shun one another while forced to live under threatening, insane Leaders and Regimes? A sad individual who thinks she's changing the World with her ridiculous shunning of Russian opponents. Must be a hard life worrying about Ukraine from her balcony overlooking Monte Carlo? WTA needs to take a REAL stand here. Otherwise ban flags and handshakes by Russia, China, Israel, Iran, USA..... (Get the picture??)
- They still with that crap??? These Ukrainians need to just stop. Your Russian opponents have nothing to do with the war against your country. They didn't start it and by you not shaking their hands certainly won't end it. All this bitterness and unforgiveness will not augur well for these silly women.
- Tennis knows it has a huge problem with Hi-Tech line calls on clay. They've admitted so behind closed doors. However they do nothing except make a rule that no one can argue a call; no matter the proof. Perhaps the new WTA CEO will take a stand??
- "Accused" ?? They've been doing this regularly at tourneys... and yelling over the opponent standing right in front of them. Last season as well, when at one point Coco asked them to stop.
- Courier is an idiot. It's a virus which has been medically confirmed early last week.
- When is this Williams shitshow going to be stopped??? STEALING WILDCARDS from young, promising talents is disgusting, I don't care how big an Ego someone has. Dignity & Integrity are obviously out the window. Williams Family needs the spotlight so bad -- install a little theater at home, with professioal studio lighting, an applause track, and enjoy your needy selves.
- Sad? I'm laughing at what a loser you are.
