WTA Rankings: Rybakina’s No 1 dream alive, Andreeva +2, Chwalinska’s surge, Eala +4, Raducanu -3
Aryna Sabalenka has left the door open for Elena Rybakina while Maya Chwalinska enjoyed a magical rise and Alex Eala bounced back from her French Open disappointment.
Four-time Grand Slam winner Sabalenka was in danger of losing the No 1 spot in the WTA Rankings to Rybakina after Roland Garros, but the Kazakh’s early exit meant there was no change at the top.
The Belarusian then had an opportunity to put daylight between herself and Rybakina with a title run, but she was stunned in the quarter-final by Diana Shnaider, resulting in the gap being reduced to 947 points.
Sabalenka – who started her 94th week at No 1 in the rankings on Monday – will stay top until at least Wimbledon.
Iga Swiatek remains a comfortable third despite her round of 16 defeat in Paris while Jessica Pegula and Amanda Anisimova complete the top five.
