WTA rankings: Fernandez on the rise, Garcia drops down

There are a few significant shifts at the top of the Wta Rankings as we head towards the end of the season.

Elena Rybakina swaps places with Jessica Pegula, and is back up to world No 4, with Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova at a new career-high of world No 6. Barbora Krejcikova rises three places to return to the top 10, while Caroline Garcia falls ten places to No 20.

Leylah Fernandez’s recent hot streak moves her up eight places to world No 35. After winning the title in Hong Kong, where she beat another form player Katerina Siniakova in the final, she reached the semi-final of the Jiangxi Open – where the Czech got her revenge. Still, Fernandez was on the verge of dropping out of the top 100 this summer, and she is now closing in on the top 30.

New Jiangxi Open champion Siniakova is up 14 places to world No 46. She beat third seed Marie Bouzkova in the final – coming back from losing the first set 6-1, the first set she dropped during the week, and then saving three match points – as well as seventh seed Varvara Gracheva in the round of 16. It was her fifth career singles title, and her second of the year.

Tamara Korpatsch is into the top 100 – and how. She is up 34 places to world No 71, a new career best for her. It comes after she won her first-ever singles title on tour, beating Elena-Gabriela Ruse in the final to win the Transylvania Open. (Ruse too gets a good boost up the rankings from her performance there – up 61 places to world No 127.)
