On April 4, Beijing time, the WTA officially released the latest edition of the world rankings. The WTA Tour has focused on Miami over the past two weeks, with the third WTA Class race of the year competing. In the end, Sviateck successfully ascended to the throne behind the ball with his winning performance. Naomi Osaka, who reached the final, also regained her feelings and improved significantly.
With Barty's application to remove his world rankings after his retirement, coupled with Sviatek's strong championship-winning performance, this week the WTA gave birth to a new post-ball queen. With 17 consecutive wins and three consecutive wins in the WTA 1000 tournament, Sviatek managed to reach the top of the world, becoming the 28th ball since the WTA ranking system and the first Pole to ascend to the world's first throne.
Bardoza, who reached the quarter-finals in Miami, rose to no. 3 in the world this week, behind Sviatek and Klečkova. The world's No. 3 ranking set a new career high for Badosa. Another quarter-finalist, Collins, rose three places to no. 8 in the world, also setting a new career high.
The biggest increase in the TOP100 this week was Naomi Osaka, who recovered in Miami and managed to reach her first 14-month final. Runner-up Naomi Osaka soared 42 places, rising from 77th in the world to 35th in the world. In Miami, Naomi Osaka was more important than the runner-up, and after the game, she set herself the goal of returning to the top 10 at the end of the season and returning to the world number one next season.
China's Jinhua has not changed much in the rankings this week, with Zhang Shuai, who broke into the third round in Miami, rising two places to 41st in the world, and Zheng Qinwen and Wang Xinyu doing nothing in their rankings. Wang Qiang made her way from qualifying to the second round in Miami, rising five places this week to No. 96 in the world and returning to the TOP100. Zheng Saisai, who has been missing out from injury this season, slipped 35 places, and this week she came to 163rd in the world.
