(Paris) The Swiss Belinda Bencic found the top 10 worldwide (10e+1) Monday for the first time since the birth of his daughter, the day after the final lost by Switzerland in the United Cup, one week before the start of the Australian Open.

At 28, Bencic, who gave birth in April 2024, has won all five of her United Cup matches, including against Poland’s Iga Swiatek, who remains 2e to the WTA, and to the Italian Jasmine Paolini, who gains a place in the world ranking (7e).

“I’m really happy to come back to the top 10 : it was a huge goal,” savored the Swiss who had reached 4e world rank in February 2020. She started the 2025 season at 421e rank.

Winner with the greatest authority in Brisbane where seven of the ten best in the world were present, Aryna Sabalenka consolidated her place as No.1 and will be the big favorite in Melbourne.

Marta Kostyuk gained six places (20e) after her final in Brisbane where she had a series of victories against three players from top 10 : Amanda Anisimova, Mira Andreeva and Jessica Pegula.

Elina Svitolina, who won in Auckland, gains two places to 12e world place.
