WEEK: 03.07.2016
Heather Watson was the mover of the week with her fine performance in Monterrey. En route to the title she knocked out the number two seed, Caroline Wozniacki, and came back from a set down in the final to defeat Kirsten Flipkens. This victory gave her the third career singles title as well as some much needed ranking points. There was not much movement on the ATP Tour as last week was dedicated to the first round of Davis Cup. This week will showcase the first Masters 1000 event in Indian Wells; expect to see some phenomenal matches and possibly some surprising upsets as many of the top ranked players are set to compete at this prestigious event.
PLAYERS (within the top 100) | SPOTS MOVED | NEW RANK |
Mikhail Kukushkin (KAZ) | DOWN 11 | 90 |
Paul-Henri Mathieu (FRA)* | UP 7 | 62 |
Heather Watson (GBR) | UP 31 | 53 |
Alexandra Dulgheru (ROU) | DOWN 26 | 93 |

Kirsten Flipkens (BEL) | UP 14 | 59 |
Su-Wei Hsieh (TPE) | DOWN 12 | 81 |
Elizaveta Kulichkova (RUS) | DOWN 11 | 98 |
Eugenie Bouchard (CAN) | UP 10 | 42 |
The top 10 members remained the same and maintained their exact positions from last week on both the ATP and WTA Tours.
Mathieu got an honorary mention even though his change in ranking was less than ten because there were not many significant ranking changes on the ATP Tour due to Davis Cup.
He will be missed for his unique couture as well as his calculating commentary!!
