WEEK: 03.20.2017
The mover of the week is Victoria Azarenka. Her ranking fell because she was unable to defend her title in Indian Wells as she has been out on maternity leave since announcing her pregnancy in July last year. She has not played on Tour since losing in the first round of last year’s Roland Garros. While she may be a tad concerned about her ranking, she is happily enjoying her “bundle of joy”, her son Leo, which she gave birth to last December. She will be back on tour eventually and will worry about improving her ranking then.
