WEEK: 05.23.2016
Kiki Bertens was the mover of the week, jumping 31 spots up the rankings after her fine performance in Nurnberg where she captured her second career singles title. En route to the final she defeated the number one seed, Roberta Vinci and only dropped one set the entire tournament. Bertens will look to carry this form into the second Major of the season. In 2014 she made it to the fourth round of Roland Garros. Bertens would like to duplicate that feat this year and/or even go farther. How far can she get in the draw? Unfortunately for Bertens, her first round opponent is the number three ranked player, Angelique Kerber. The good news is that despite losing their only encounter earlier this year in Miami, Bertens won the first set before she was forced to retire in the third.
