so far in the Australian Open she was the furthest to the fourth round, but this time she made it to the semi-finals (in which she lost to the American Danielle Collins). As a result, she moved up in the WTA ranking from 9th to 4th place, returning to the highest place in her career. Magda Linette was promoted from 53rd to 46th place (in AO she was promoted to the second round). In the top 100 there is still 99 Magdalena Fręch, who was eliminated after the clash with Simona Halep.
One significant change took place before Christmas: the Czech Barbora Krejcikova (fourth) jumped to the third place. After the victory at the top, Ashleigh Barty has strengthened and has a huge advantage over her rivals. The second is Aryna Sabalenka. Garbine Muguruza fell by four places and Anett Kontaveit by two. The aforementioned Danielle Collins was promoted by 20 positions, all thanks to the advancement to the finals.
