WTA Rankings Report: Kenin, Muchova Climbing


American Sofia Kenin is in the midst of an incredible 2019, and it just keeps going.

The American, fresh off the title last week at Guangzhou, now owns three titles on the season and comes in at a career-high ranking of 17 in the world.

Already this week Kenin has defeated Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Elise Mertens at Wuhan to improve to 46-17 on the season. The 20-year-old is one of four players with three or more WTA titles on the season and she has risen from outside the Top 50 at the end of last season to her current perch at 17, and Kenin is projected to make her Top 15 debut next week based on her early results at Wuhan.

Kenin, Madison Keys (16 to 13) and Angelique Kerber (15 to 12) were the biggest rankings risers inside the WTA’s Top 20 this week—each climbed three spots.

Seoul Champion Karolina Muchova climbed eight spots to a career-high ranking of 37, while Seoul runner-up Magda Linette climbed six spots to a career-high ranking of 42.

China’s Wang Yafan was the biggest mover inside the Top 50—she climbed ten spots to reach a career-high at No.48 in the world after reaching the semis at Seoul.

Sam Stosur was the Top 100’s biggest riser—the Aussie climbed 37 spots to No.92 after reaching the final in Guangzhou.
