WTA Rankings Update: Sakkari enters top 10, Swiatek moves to 4, Barty holds 1

A very good week of tennis happened around the world with many of the world's best competing at the Ostrava Open. We saw Anett Kontaveit be crowned the champion moving her up 7 spots to number 23. Maria Sakkari lost that final but she gained some spots on the rankings breaking into the top 10 for the first time in her career. Ashleigh Barty still leads everyone at No 1 with Sabalenka and Pliskova trailing.

Iga Swiatek reached the Ostrava Open semi-final and she jumped two spots to a new career-high ranking of 4 as Svitolina dropped back to 6. There has been some negative movement as well. Allison Riske slid down 18 spots to number 50 almost dropping out of the top 50 after a very long time. Yastremska also dropped down 19 spots to number 72 as did Van Uytvanch who dropped 34 spots to 89.
