The clay court swing reaches its midpoint after the Mutua Madrid Open 2026 concluded, resulting in certain changes and setting up interesting scenarios for the upcoming weeks in the WTA rankings. At the Caja Mágica, none of the Top 5 players reached the semifinals, and Marta Kostyuk claimed the title, but the one hit hardest in Spain is the number one player: Aryna Sabalenka.

Current WTA Rankings after the Mutua Madrid Open 2026 

Aryna Sabalenka remains the circuit's queen with 10,110 points, although not defending her title in Madrid cost her a total of 785 points. This leaves Elena Rybakina with 8,555 points, just 1,555 points behind. Considering the points Sabalenka defends in Rome and Paris, totaling 1,515, there could be a change at Roland Garros, provided Rybakina performs well in these two events.

There have been movements in the third position as Iga Swiatek (6,948) reclaimed it from Coco Gauff (6,749). The American lost 530 points from last year's Madrid final and defends 650 from her other final in Rome, excluding the 2,000 points as the Roland Garros champion, presenting an opportunity for the Pole to solidify the third spot.

In the fifth and sixth positions, Jessica Pegula (6,136) and Amanda Anisimova (5,995) maintain their places. However, Mirra Andreeva enters the seventh spot with 4,181 points thanks to her Mutua Madrid Open final, followed by Jasmine Paolini in eighth place (3,722). Both displace Elina Svitolina (3,530), who drops two spots by not repeating her semifinal performance from last year in Madrid. Victoria Mboko concludes the Top 10 with 3,509 points.

Kostyuk Claims First Title in Madrid and Improved Ranking

The highlight of the week is Marta Kostyuk's ascent. The new Mutua Madrid Open champion rose eight positions to achieve her best ranking in the WTA at 15th place with 2,507 points. Another notable rise is seen by Hailey Baptiste, who defeated Aryna Sabalenka and reached the Madrid semifinals, climbing seven spots to 25th place with 1,747 points. The biggest jump comes from Anastasia Potapova, who advances 18 positions to 38th place with 1,355 points, following her Madrid semifinal appearance.

Bucsa and Bouzas, the Only Spaniards in the Top 100

Regarding Spanish representation, only two players appear in the Top 100. Cristina Bucsa remains the top-ranked Spaniard in 31st place with 1,406 points, followed by Jessica Bouzas in 51st place with 1,186 points. Paula Badosa remains outside the Top 100, specifically in the 102nd position with 780 points.
