WTA Rankings update: Aryna Sabalenka widens lead over Iga Swiatek as Miami Open champ, big gains for Emma Raducanu, Alexandra Eala

The conclusion of the Miami Open 2025 has led to plenty of movement in this week's WTA rankings. Having lost a couple of big finals this year, the third time finally proved to be the charm for Aryna Sabalenka. She previously suffered heartbreaking losses to Madison Keys and Mirra Andreeva in the Australian Open and Indian Wells finals this season.

Sabalenka gave herself another shot at redemption by reaching the Miami Open final. She didn't falter this time and beat Jessica Pegula 7-5, 6-2 to win her 19th career title. The win helped her crack the 10,000-point mark for the first time in her career as well. She commences her 32nd week atop the WTA rankings with 10,541 points to her name,

Sabalenka also has a 3,000-point lead over the second-ranked Iga Swiatek, who has 7,470 points at the moment. Coco Gauff remains steady at No. 3, as does Pegula at No. 4, despite reaching the Miami final. Keys is also a non-mover at No. 5.

Jasmine Paolini's semifinal finish in Miami pushed her up a spot to No. 6 in this week's WTA rankings. However, that came at the expense of Mirra Andreeva, who moved down a rung to No. 7. Zheng Qinwen rose a spot to No. 8 and Paula Badosa returned to the top 10 at No. 9.

Elena Rybakina fell a couple of spots to No. 10. She will depart the top 10 in three weeks as she has opted not to defend her title at the upcoming Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart.
