A new week has just started, and there are already some interesting movements in the live rankings. Bianca Andreescu decided not to compete in Osaka, but she has still gained 1 place in the live ranking as in the meantime Naomi Osaka “lost” 304 points. Therefore, with Osaka going down, Andreescu and Halep managed to move up in the live rankings.
Of course, the Japanese can take back her world no.4 rank if she reached again the final in Osaka. Naomi will commence her run in Japan against the world no.184 Viktoriya Tomova.
Andreescu’s schedules at rankings
Bianca decided to withdraw from the events in Osaka and Wuhan to play in Beijing and the Finals. If she wins both tournaments, she might have a shot at the world no.1 by the end of the year. However, it seems just a matter of time for Bianca to reach the top of the rankings.
