Sam Stosur, who reached the semis of the WTA Madrid event, pushed up one spot to No.22, her highest ranking since September last year.

Daria Gavrilova, who progressed to the quarterfinals of the same event, moved up seven places to a career-high ranking of No.32.

Gavrilova’s new status puts her in line for a seeding at Roland Garros; however, she is defending semifinal points at this week’s Internazionali BNL d’Italia.
