Iga Swiatek has suddenly seemed very human again in the past few weeks, but the Pole's lead in the 2022 annual ranking over the next best player, Ons Jabeur, still seems extraterrestrial. Swiatek has collected 4,364 points more than the Tunisian, who should still have a place at the season finale.
After Simona Halep , who was victorious in Toronto last week, Caroline Garcia has now unexpectedly made her way into the picture. The French won the WTA Tour 1000 event in Cincinnati on Sunday after qualifying and is now ninth in the race. After Bad Homburg and Warsaw, it was Garcia's third tournament victory of the year.
In the "regular" WTA world rankings, Caroline Garcia has moved back into the top 20, in 17th place, and the inferior finalist Petra Kvitova has also moved up seven places and is now in 21st place.
From a German-speaking point of view, you have to search for a long time: Angelique Kerber slipped back to 52nd place. Tatjana Maria, number 92, is the only other German representative in the top 100. Austria's best player Julia Grabher is in 122nd place.
