Swiatek begins 58th week as World No.1 in the latest WTA Rankings

NEW DELHI: Iga Swiatek began 58th consecutive week as the World No.1 in the latest WTA Rankings released on Monday.

The 21-year-old Pole leads World No.2 Aryna Sabalenka by 1744 points despite losing to the Belarusian in the Madrid Open final on Saturday.

Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur, who was the defending champion but pulled out of the event due to injury, slipped four places to 7th and as a result, Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia, American Coco Gauff and Kazakh Elena Rybakina all moved up by a spot.

Emma Raducanu slipped out of top 100 for the first time since her historic 2021 US Open triumph as the Brit pulled out of the event in Madrid before announcing that she had surgery on her wrists and ankle. The 20-year-old is set to miss this year’s French Open and Wimbledon as well. Agencies
