WTA Rankings Update: Rises for Halep and Anisimova after title wins, new career highs for Raducanu, Kontaveit and Rybakina

With the new season beginning over the past few weeks with Australian Open warm-up tournaments comes the weekly WTA rankings updated.

Ashleigh Barty of course won in Adelaide and strengthens her lead as World No.1 up to 8051 points with Aryna Sabalenka losing ground slightly after an early defeat last week.

While Barbora Krejcikova despite not playing till this next week in Sydney moves up to 4th swapping places with her compatriot, Karolina Pliskova.

Iga Swiatek after her run to the semi-finals against Barty has swapped places with Paula Badosa who lost early to Victoria Azarenka with Vika herself making up ground towards 25th in the rankings.

There have also been a few career highs with Anett Kontaveit up to 6th and Elena Rybakina up to 13th after her run to the final. Naomi Osaka is heading towards going out of the top 15th down one spot but Simona Halep is up five after her first title win of the year with the top 10 back in her sights.

Serena Wlliams further down continues to fall down to 47th which is down six places. Amanda Anisimova after winning her second WTA title is up 17 spots heading towards the top 60.
