A lot is happening at the top of the world rankings. A French Open winner is now enthroned at the top – at just 20 years old. Angelique Kerber remains the best German.
The Polish Iga Swiatek is now officially the new number one in the world tennis rankings. The 20-year-old follows Australian Ashleigh Barty, who surprisingly announced her retirement from professional tennis. The former French Open winner Swiatek had won the tournament in Miami last weekend and had already been determined as Barty’s successor.
The Czech Barbora Krejcikova follows in second place in the new ranking published on Monday, ahead of the Spaniard Paula Badosa. The best German is the former world number one Angelique Kerber in 16th place.
In the men’s category, Alexander Zverev from Hamburg is third behind Serbian Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev. The Russian failed to return to the top at the tournament in Miami. Medvedev then had an operation for a small hernia and now has to pause for a month or two.
