WTA Ranking: Jovic Approaches the Top 10 and Quevedo Nears His Best Ranking

Despite this week being quite calm in the WTA ranking due to the absence of WTA 1000 and Grand Slams, there have been some notable changes in the rankings worth highlighting, such as the rise of Iva Jovic in search of breaking into the top 10 for the first time and Kaitlin Quevedo in pursuit of matching her historic best ranking. 

2026 is proving to be Jovic's year, as she has become a regular in the final rounds of major tournaments. This week, the American player defended her title at the WTA 500 in Guadalajara and successfully retained her crown without dropping a set throughout the tournament, losing just 24 games in 4 matches. This has allowed her to rise to the number 13 spot in the WTA ranking, her personal best, placing her 1,200 points away from the top 10 held by Marta Kostyuk before the Asian tour begins.

Quevedo, on the verge of entering the top 70 of the WTA ranking 

The other great sensation of this week has been Kaitlin Quevedo, who lifted the title at the WTA 250 in Sao Paulo this afternoon after coming back against Nadia Podoroska. Unlike Jovic, the Spanish player did suffer significantly both in the semifinals and in the final, although she won a very important tournament for her career and for the rankings, as she is on the verge of improving her personal best. 

At this moment, Quevedo occupies the 75th position in the rankings, while her best position is 73. Therefore, with any good results in the final stretch of the season, it is more than likely that she will improve. Now is the time to take advantage of her good form and continue advancing until she can qualify directly for the major tournaments on the circuit.
