Relegated to 11th place last Monday after her new premature exit in San Diego, Caroline Garcia is back in the Top 10 (10th) in the new ranking after her semi-final in Guadalajara last week. Victorious in Mexico in her first WTA 1000, Maria Sakkari climbed to 6th place.
A week after leaving it, Caroline Garcia is already back in the Top 10 of the WTA rankings. Ejected from the ten best players in the world last Monday after her new poor performance in San Diego, where she was eliminated in the 2nd round, the Lyonnaise returned to 10th place in the hierarchy this Monday. A reward that she owes to her superb performance on the courts of Guadajara. It must be said that in Mexico, the French number 1 was not content to reach the last four in a WTA 1000 tournament for the first time since her title in Cincinnati last season. Before being corrected in the semi-finals by Maria Sakkari, titled this year in this event in which she had played the final in 2022, Garcia also signed her first success of the year against a player ranked among the top thirty by winning her way to the quarter-finals is the Bulgarian Victoria Azarenka, 23rd.
Sakkari knocks again at the doors of the Top 5
And that’s not all. In fact, we had to go back to last March to find any trace of the last tournament which saw Bertrand Perret’s protégé achieve three victories in a row. It was well worth a return to the Top 10 exactly seven days after leaving it, while all our other representatives present in the Top 100 fell back, Alizé Cornet, who remained in 97th place, except. As for Sakkari, who still had no WTA 1000 title to her name and had only won one title since her arrival on the circuit (in Rabat in 2019), she climbed from 9th to 6th place.
