WTA Ranking: Shnaider Threatens the Top 10 and Quevedo Breaks Her Ceiling Again
The next update of the WTA ranking will bring interesting movements, especially outside of the top ten positions. The top 10 will remain unchanged, with no changes among its protagonists, but behind them, there will be several new entries deserving of attention. Some players are solidifying their progress, others reach the best positions of their careers, and there are also symbolic farewells.
Diana Shnaider will be one of the main protagonists of the week. The Russian rises two positions to settle at number 11 in the world, although she still has a considerable distance ahead, as over 700 points separate her from that top 10 she has set her sights on. Sorana Cirstea is also noteworthy, as she will retire from professional tennis with the best ranking of her entire career, at position number 15. Alexandra Eala, for her part, matches her personal best at number 18, while Leylah Fernandez returns to the top 20, specifically to position 19.
New rise in Kaitlin Quevedo's ranking
One of the negative pieces of news will be the exit of Victoria Mboko from the top 20. The Canadian, who has not competed since June, loses positions and leaves a group in which she had managed to make her mark. In contrast, Tallia Gibson reaches the best ranking of her career, at number 36, while Kamila Rakhimova features one of the biggest climbs of the week: 22 places to reach 44.
From a Spanish perspective, Paula Badosa recovers four positions and appears at number 57. There are also reasons to celebrate with Kaitlin Quevedo, who after reaching the semifinals in Guangzhou breaks her personal record and places herself at 70. Both could have faced each other this coming week in Hong Kong, but ultimately the Canarian has decided to withdraw from the draw at the last minute.
Other names reaching new highs include Mananchaya Sawangkaew (77), Taylah Preston (82), and Alina Charaeva (91), although the latter still has to play the final in Courmayeur. Finally, Harriet Dart, champion in Guangzhou, stages a spectacular comeback of 32 positions to settle at number 83.
