Ashleigh Barty, Iga Swiatek and Maria Sakkari
Iga Swiatek of Poland has been in fantastic form all year. From reaching the semi-finals of the Australian Open 2022 to establishing her dominance over the Qatar Open, she has made a name for herself. She continued her incredible form in the finals of the BNP Paribas Open as well, defeating Maria Sakkari 6-4, 6-1.
After her spectacular win in California, the Pole was in line for a major ranking boost. She climbed up two places in the WTA ranking ladder, reaching a career-high second place. However, as is customary, the top spot is held by Ashleigh Barty, with Swiatek lurking in the shadows, ready to take on the Aussie for the top spot.
Meanwhile, Maria Sakkari, the runner-up at 2022 Indian Wells , has climbed to No. 3 in the WTA ranking ladder.

Also, Barbora Kcrejcikova, the French Open champion of last year, fell to No. 4 on the rankings after losing her career-high position to Swiatek.
