Описание: Emma Raducanu Drops in Rankings as Rybakina Surges After Title Win

The latest WTA Tour rankings have been released after the Australian Open, bringing mixed fortunes for several players, including Emma Raducanu. Raducanu has slipped one place in the rankings following her second-round departure in Melbourne, moving from 29th to 30th. Aryna Sabalenka, however, remains firmly in control at world No. 1 despite losing the Australian Open final. The Belarusian continues to top the rankings even after her defeat to Elena Rybakina in the championship match. Sabalenka holds a commanding lead of more than 3,000 points over second-ranked Iga Swiatek, who exited the tournament at the quarter-final stage. Rybakina went on to secure the title, while Australia’s Maya Joint climbed to 29th, swapping places with Raducanu. Despite her slight drop, Raducanu retains her position as British No. 1, though competition is close with Sonay Kartal, Francesca Jones and Katie Boulter all applying pressure. Rybakina made significant gains in the rankings after her dramatic victory over Sabalenka, winning 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 to lift her first Australian Open trophy. The triumph moves her up two places to world No. 3, pushing Coco Gauff and Amanda Anisimova down the order. She now sits just 368 points behind Swiatek in second place.
