We had a big reshuffle after the US Open. The changes didn’t really affect the very first positions as Serena Williams, Azarenka, Sharapova and Radwanska still keep their places. Na Li is the first mover to overtakes a very disappointing Sara Errani that lost in the US Open second round.
Giorgi and Pennetta
For an Italian that has deeply disappointed we have 2 Italians that did a magnificent job in New York. “New prospect hottie” Camila Giorgi upsets former world no.1 Caroline Woznacki to reach the 4th round in New York. This makes her to gain an incredible 57 positions to be now ranked world no. 79.
Former world no.10 Flavia Pennetta had also a wonderful tournament to lose in the semis to Vika Azarenka and gain 52 places to be now ranked world no. 31
Stephens
Sloane Stephens reaches another milestone to be now ranked world no.13, and she looks damn ready for the top 10!
Hantuchova
Talking about hot players, after reaching the quarters Daniela Hantuchova climbs 18 places to be now world no. 30
Riske and McHale
The America Armada didn’t stopped at the success of Serena Williams and the ranking of Sloane Stephens as other 2 players has been among the big gainers in the rankings.
23 years old Alison Riske gains 24 places to be ranked no. 57 after upsetting Petra Kvitova and losing in the 4th round to Daniela Hantuchova.
21 years old Christina McHale climbs 30 positions (now world no.84) after reaching the 3rd round where she lost to Ana Ivanovic.
The losers…
Besides Sara Errani (now world no.6), Petra Kvitova is part of this club as she crashed out the top 10 (now no.11). Sam Stosur is also in free fall after losing in the first round to American qualifier Victoria Duval. Sam lost 7 places to be now world no. 18.
