Elena Rybakina

(Paris) Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina, who won Sunday at Indian Wells on 4^e title of his career, continues on Monday to progress within the top 10 of the WTA ranking, of which she is now 7^e.

The 23-year-old player progresses three places to reach the best ranking of her career while the Polish Iga Swiatek, crowned in 2022 and whom she had precisely eliminated in the semi-finals in California, continues to lead the debates.

Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, dominated in the Indian Wells final by Rybakina, is still 2^e ahead of American Jessica Pegula.

Despite his elimination in 8^e of the final of the Californian tournament, the French Caroline Garcia takes the Tunisian Ons Jabeur the 4^e place.

Finalist at Indian Wells in 2022, but only a semi-finalist a year later, the Greek Maria Sakkari falls from 7^e at 10^e rank.

Further down, another Polish player, Magda Linette (19^e) made, at age 31, his entry into the top 20, from which the ex-N. 1 Romanian world Simona Halep (25^e-6), suspended at the end of October for doping.
