Badosa enters the 'top 20' and Alcaraz remains second

The Spanish Paula Badosa gains a place and enters the last position of the top20 in a week without changes among the best in the world tennis ranking. The Polish Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka and the Tunisian Ons Jabeur easily maintain the podium of the WTA ranking.

The first change at the top of the list is made by the Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia, who gains two places to settle in twelfth place and continue to be the first Ibero-American player among the hundred best in the world.

After Haddad and Badosa, the Colombian Camila Osorio remains in 61st place and the Spanish Sara Sorribes (79) and Nuria Párrizas (80) lose one. The also Spanish Garbiñe Muguruza loses three more places to be number 86.

Two other Spanish women are in the top 100, Cristina Bucsa in 89th place and Rebeka Masarova, in 95th.

In the men's modality, the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz, who has not yet debuted this year and maintains his second position in the ATP world rankings after the Serbian Novak Djokovic, wants to start adding points in the Buenos Aires tournament in which he will reappear this week .

In the top 10 of the classification, the only change is that of the American Taylor Fritz who gains a place to be seventh to the detriment of the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime. The rest remain with the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in third place and the Spanish Rafael Nadal in sixth.

The biggest rise of the week is carried out by the 'historical' Chinese Yibing Wu who became the first player from that country to win an ATP tournament by winning the one in Dallas. Wu gains 39 places and settles in 58.

The Argentines Sebastián Báez and Federico Coria, champion and runner-up in their country's tournament in Córdoba also rise in the standings, the first 11 steps to be 36 and the second 18 to reach 49.
