WTA Rankings Update: Osaka drops out of top 10 as Muguruza and Sakkari rise

The WTA Rankings ahead of the Indian Wells Masters bring us some interesting moments as Naomi Osaka drops out of the top 10 for the first time in a long time.

It's been an interesting week of WTA tennis in preparation for the Indian Wells Masters over the next two weeks. Some players played while others did not which brought us some interesting changes both in the top 10 of the rankings and elsewhere. Garbine Muguruza won a trophy last week and jumped 3 spots to number 6 overall.

Maria Sakkari moved up to a new career-high of number 9 thanks to the drop of Naomi Osaka who is now outside of the top 10. 2021 started off great for Osaka but ever since winning the Australian Open the Japanese player never quite got things right, both on the court and off the court. Belinda Bencic is back into the top 10 as well as players as Jabeur and Rybakin also moved up.

The biggest jump was made by Alison Van Uytvanck after her title run in Nur-Sultan propelling her to number 55, a jump of 34 spots. Several players have new career-high rankings and they are Sakkari at 9, Tauson at 49, Martincova at 52, Trevisan at 66, Parrizas at 70, Sherif at 72, Juvan at 90 and Ruse at 92.
