On October 18, Beijing time, the WTA officially released the latest edition of the world rankings. Over the past two weeks, the WTA1000 Indian Wells race has been contested. After two weeks of exciting battles, the latest issue of the ranking has changed significantly.
Nothing has changed in the world's top three this week, with Barty, Sabalenka and Ka Pliskova still in place. After deducting last year's French Open points, Sviatek slipped seven places to 11th in the world. As Sviatek fell sharply, other players improved their rankings by varying margins. It is worth mentioning that Abdul-Jabbar, who reached the final four in Indian Wells, ranked 8th in the world this week, creating a career-best.
Spain's Badosa won the title in Indian Wells, winning the highest level of his career. After scoring 1,000 points from the title, Bardoza moved up 14 places in the rankings, and this week she finished 13th in the world, setting a career-best ranking. Azarenka, who reached the final in Indian Wells, rose six places this week to 26th in the world.
The biggest drop in the top 100 this week was Argentina's Podolosca, who slipped 46 places this week to 82nd in the world. In addition, Watson of The United Kingdom (down 15 places), Garcia of France (down 14 places), Canepi (down 10 places), Sweden's Peterson (down 21 places) and Ferro (down 15 places) are also down more than 10 places this week.
In terms of Chinese players, Zhang Shuai slipped 7 places this week to 55th in the world, and none of the Chinese players ranked in the top 50. Wang Qiang is ranked 77th in the world this week, and Zheng Saisai is ranked 86th in the world, which is only three Chinese players ranked in the top 100.
