WTA rankings update: Noskova hits career-high, Navarro on the brink of top 10

The final WTA rankings are in ahead of the US Open starting this week, with a few movements in the women’s top 30.

Linda Noskova rockets up the rankings courtesy of her WTA 500 title in Monterrey, while Emma Navarro continues creeping her way towards the world’s top 10.

The upper echelon in women’s tennis remains unchanged, however, with many taking the week off ahead of the year’s final Grand Slam in New York this week. Here’s how the WTA top 10 in looking this Monday:

1. Iga Swiatek – 10,695 points
2. Aryna Sabalenka – 8,016 points
3. Coco Gauff – 6,743 points
4. Elena Rybakina – 5,931 points
5. Jasmine Paolini – 5,168 points
6. Jessica Pegula – 5,160 points
7. Qinwen Zheng – 3,980 points
8. Barbora Krejcikova – 3,571 points
9. Maria Sakkari – 3,515 points
10. Jelena Ostapenko – 3,428 points

Title sees Noskova crack top 30 ahead of US Open

While Linda Noskova’s title at the WTA 500 in Monterrey comes too late for her to be seeded at the US Open, the teenager now officially enters the world’s top 30 this Monday.

Noskova defeated New Zealand’s Lulu Sun in the Monterrey final, boosting her 10 spots up the WTA rankings to No 25 in the world. Sun rises as well, up another 16 places to a career-high of No 41–having been outside the world’s top 100 two months ago.

Navarro, who she beat in the semi-finals, also moved to a career-high of No 12, putting her on the cusp of a maiden top 10 debut if she performs well in New York.

Ashlyn Krueger, McCartney Kessler, Erika Andreeva, Jessica Bouzaz Maneiro and Renata Zarazua all make career-high rankings this Monday.
