LONDON — Mirra Andreeva has achieved a significant milestone by reaching a career-high ranking of No. 9 in the WTA standings as of Monday, making her the first 17-year-old to enter the Top 10 since Nicole Vaidisova accomplished the feat in 2007.
Andreeva’s ascent in the rankings can be attributed to her outstanding performance at the tournament in Dubai, where she clinched the title on Saturday. During her remarkable run, she triumphed over former Grand Slam champions Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina, and Marketa Vondrousova, solidifying her status as the youngest player ever to win a trophy at a WTA 1000 tournament.
Last year, Andreeva made headlines by reaching the semifinals of the French Open, marking her best performance at a Grand Slam event to date.
In other notable ranking news, Madison Keys, the winner of the Australian Open, has also reached a personal best ranking of No. 5, despite having not played any matches since her victory at Melbourne Park last month. She joins fellow American players Coco Gauff at No. 3 and Jessica Pegula at No. 4, creating a rare situation where three U.S. women are ranked so highly together for the first time since 2003. Additionally, Emma Navarro is ranked at No. 10, contributing to the strong presence of American women in the upper echelon of the rankings.
At the top of the women’s rankings, Aryna Sabalenka remains in the number one position, followed closely by Swiatek at number two.
In the ATP rankings, there has been little movement with only one change. Andrey Rublev climbed from No. 10 to No. 9 after securing the title at the Qatar Open, swapping places with Tommy Paul.
Jannik Sinner continues to hold the No. 1 ranking as he serves a three-month doping suspension, with Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Taylor Fritz, and Casper Ruud following in the rankings.
