SIGNIFICANT RANKING CHANGES FOR THE WEEK OF 04.30.2018
Pauline Parmentier gets the mover of the week honors with her impressive performance last week in Istanbul. This victory in Istanbul was her third career singles title and it was the first title since 2008 for the thirty-two year old. It was a much needed victory and probably the result of a boost in her confidence after she played so well for France in the recent Federation Cup semifinals. Although she lost both of her matches, she made the Americans work extremely hard to defeat her. With the French Open coming up next month, Parmentier will be looking to take this form into the tournament with hopes of going deep in the draw.
