Following major events like Indian Wells, there have been some important changes in the men's and women's singles rankings this week.
First, let's talk about women's unilaterals. Even after missing the Sunshine doubles early, Barty is still firmly in the world number one position. The women's singles world No. 2 has a new face.
After the end of the Women's Singles Final of the Indian Crown, Pole Svatek defeated Sakkari to win the fifth WTA singles title of his career, and the ranking also rose to no. 2 in the world, equaling Radwanska's best ranking of Polish women's singles players.
Someone asked Swartak what does this mean for her?
"I don't know yet." The 2020 French Open champion replied, "Honestly, I have to look at my ranking objectively now, and I want to continue to improve myself because I'm getting closer and closer to the world number one." ”
Meanwhile, Sakkari, who lost the final, rose from 6th to 3rd, her first time in the top 5 in the world.
The Indian Crown final was the highest-level singles final of a Greek career after reaching the final in only three WTA 500 tournaments, San Jose in 2018, Ostrava in 2021 and St. Petersburg earlier this year.
"When I came to the no. 3 position in the world, I couldn't believe I was so close to the world number one." Sakkari said of her career rankings at a new high. "I've been working very hard for the last few years. I'm proud to be the highest-ranked player in our country, which means a lot to our country. ”
At the same time, there are two very significant changes in the TOP 5 of the ATP rankings. Including Djokovic's return to world number one.
Previously, Medvedev took over djokovic world number one position on February 28 and stayed in the number one position for 3 weeks. But after losing to Monfils in the third round of the Indian Masters, Djokovic took his place again and returned to world number one.
In the following Miami race, despite the Serbian's absence, it can still be in the world number one position for at least two weeks. Since then, Deyo's number of weeks in the world will reach 363 weeks.
However, if Medvedev can reach the semifinals at the Miami Masters, he will regain world number one again. Otherwise, Deyo will still be number one.
Nadal, one of the other Big Three, ended his perfect 20-game winning streak this season despite losing to Fritz in the Indian Wells final, but this week rebounded from 4th to 3rd, with Zverev dropping to no. 4 in the world. (Source: Tennis House Author: Wu Li Fun)
