 Big week in the rankings this week ahead of Indian Wells the biggest event since the Australian open for the men and for the women I guess if you want to discount Dubai We had a lot of the top guys playing in both Dubai and Acapulco and a couple of the ladies playing over in events as well Let's go to the past results. There's actually a lot of tournaments last week starting over on the WTA We had the Monterey open with Donna Vecic beating Caroline Garcia 6-4-3-6-7-5 to lift her fourth career trophy and over in Austin Costula got the win her first ever WTA trophy 6-3-7-5 beating Gracheva in that finals So couple of ladies who played very well last week got a boost in the rankings as well to show for it over on the men's side of Things we start off in Dubai with Daniel Medvedev taking out Andre Rubelev 6-2-6-2 Medvedev Now winning three titles in three weeks over at the Acapulco open We had Alex Diminore taking out Tommy Paul 3-6-6-4-6-1 lifting the biggest trophy of his career so far Diminore and over at the Chile open Jerry the local took out Etcheverry 6-7-7-6-6-3 to lift the trophy on home soil So a big win there for Jerry in the last clay court event until April Let's talk about the players have gone up and down in the rankings this week outside of the top 10 before We get to the top 10 ranks starting with the players have gone up in the rankings We've got Diminore going up four spots number 18 in the world making him the number one Australian again Vekic after winning a Monterey She goes up eight spots number 23 in the world creeping back towards her career high number 19 Maybe you could get that if she has a good Indian Wells and Koshuk She goes up 12 spots to a career high ranking of number 40 in the world after winning in Austin So the three players outside the top 10 that won last week got a nice boost in the ranks And the players went down to the rankings this week outside the top 10 Nick Kirios He goes down three spots number 22 in the world making him the second best Australian player on the ATP Fernanda she went down 17 spots of 49 after failing to defend the points in Monterey from this time last year And Osorio she goes down 29 spots number 99 after making the final of Monterey last year and not playing this year So couple of players dropping down the ranks and of course with Indian Wells coming up Nick Kirios's ranking is at stake because he does have a lot of points to defend and won't be defending them because he Already pulled out of those events having a look at the WTA rankings now for this week And no changes to the ranks with Shriyantek at number one Sabalenka at two Pagula at three Jabir at four Garcia stays at number five Goff at six Sakri at seven Kazakina at eight Benchage at nine and Rabakina at ten And that'll be the top ten that we see at Indian Wells at this stage And they're all gonna be playing at Indian Wells in a few days time having a look at the race of the finals now For the WTA and we do have a change But we'll get to that in a second Sabalenka stays at number one with Rabakina two Shriyantek at three Benchage at four Pagula at five Krijikovar at six Azarenka at seven Goff stays at eight with Lynette at number nine and Garcia makes her way into the top ten for the first time in a few weeks going up two spots to number ten Pushing down Pliskeba for that last spot in the race of the finals And of course the race of the finals are gonna look a lot different by the end of March because of course Indian Wells of Miami coming up with a lot of points going over to the ADB rankings now And we do have some changes to the men's rankings with a lot of players playing this week But no change at the top with Djokovic staying at number one Elk res just behind at number two with City Pass at three Rooted four Fritz at five But we do have a change in the middle with Medvedev going up to number six pushing Rublev down to number seven after he beat Rublev in the final of Dubai and Hogaruna making the semi-finals of Acapulco He goes to a career high number eight in the world two spots High than last week pushing Nadal down to number nine and Ozealia Seem at number ten and some big things to watch out for over The next couple of weeks Nadal confirmed to drop out of the top ten We'll see how far in a few weeks time But Elkaraaz and Djokovic playing for the world number one spot going into Indian Wells We'll keep an eye on that over the next few weeks We could have a new number one the next time we do the ranking show Haven't look at the race of the finals now and there were some big changes to the ATB finals race No change at the top though with Djokovic staying at number one and since he passed at number two But Medvedev he goes up to number three in the race of the finals after winning his third title in a row And Tommy Polk goes up to number four after making the final Acapulco pushing Nori down two spots to number five in the rankings Fritz goes up two spots to number six and Alex Diminor goes up 11 spots to number seven after winning the biggest trophy of his career Hashinov went down to number eight three spots lower than last week Sinner at nine and Rublev jumps into the top ten for the first time five slots higher than last week pushing both her Catch and El Perez out of the top ten completely So interesting to see the shape of the ATB finals race at the moment a couple of familiar names But there are a couple of random names there as well So there you have it that is the rankings for this week and we're not gonna have a ranking show next week because of course Indian Wells will be underway it starts on Wednesday So we're gonna have a ranking show in two weeks time So just so everyone can prepare for that two weeks time when the points come in from Indian Wells We'll do the update But there's gonna be some big changes and there were some big changes this week Of course Rafa dropping out of the top ten. That's a huge huge news It hasn't been out of the top ten since 2005 But what is the biggest shock for you this week in the rankings? Was it the fact that we don't have any changes on the women's ranking side? Or was it maybe the fact that Rafa is continually dropping out of the top ten? And we don't know when he's coming back So he could drop down a fair bit if he doesn't start the clay court season when everyone else does in April But no ranking show next week. These are the rankings going into Indian Wells in a couple days time
