 The Australian Open finally done for 2023, we have some massive changes in the rankings this week, a massive change to the top of the men's rankings, and of course some changes to the women's rankings as well, but we're going to start with the past results because we had two big tournaments, WTA and ATP, Australian Open winners, let's go check out who won. Starting with the ladies champion at the Australian Open and it was of course Arena Sabalenka winning in three sets, very close match against Rabakina, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to lift her first Grand Slam trophy, and on the men's side of things of course Novak Djokovic winning his 20 second slam, defeating Stefano Siddi-Bas, 6-3, 7-6, 7-6, and also his 10th Australian Open and all of those players got a boost in the rankings. Let's start with the WTA rankings now because we had some massive changes, Fiontex data number one, we had a change at number two with Sabalenka getting back to number two after winning the Australian Open, she's gone three spots up, pushing down Jaberdith number three, Pagula down number four, and Garcia goes down to number five with Sabalenka closing the gap on Shfiontex, we also had a change in the middle with Goff going up to number six and Zachary getting pushed down to number seven, Kazakina stays at number eight, and Kudamatova, she drops out of the top ten making way for Bencic who goes up one spot to number nine, and Alina Rabakina, 15 spots higher than last week, finally getting into the top ten, a career high for her at number ten after making the final of the Australian Open. Having a look at the race of the finals now it's the first time we actually get to look at the race of the finals because we've got some massive points now and this is definitely going to change over the next few months, but at number one Sabalenka after winning the Australian Open and Adelaide she starts the season off on fire, Rabakina is number two after making the Australian Open final, Azarenka at three, Lynette at four after they both got a lot of points for making the semifinals of Australia, Pagula comes in at number five, Bencic at six, Gofford seven, Vekic at eight, Oztapenko at nine, and Pliskova rounds out the top ten for the WTA finals race, this of course will look so different month to month so we'll keep an update on this. Jumping over the men's ranking now and we've got a big change at the top with Novak Djokovic going up four spots to world number one again, pushing Alcares down to number two, who of course didn't play the Australian Opens, so number one again Novak Djokovic four spots higher than last week, Zizibas goes up one spot to number three which equals his career high after making the final of the Australian Open, pushing Root down to number four, Rubelev goes up to number five and Rafa, he's dropped for a number two down to number six after failing to defend his title at the Australian Open this year, Ozealia seems stays at number seven and another change with Medvedev dropping out of the top ten, four spots lower than last week allowing Fritz to go up to number eight, Root into go up to number nine which is a career high for him and her catch to go up to number ten to round up the top ten rankings after the Australian Open. Let's have a look at the ATB finals race now and very similar to the women's side, those who did well in Australia did very well on this list, Djokovic, he's at number one and Zizibas at number two, Hashinomi at number three with Paul at number four, both those guys doing well in Australia making the semi-finals, Shelton, he comes in at number five in the race to the finals with Korda at number six, Lehetko at number seven, Nori at number eight, Fritz at number nine and Rubelev rounds out the top ten but as I said this is very very early on, don't expect a lot of these names to stick around in the top ten for very long, there's a lot of other players that are trying to knock on the door and get to that finals top eight. So there it is, after the Australian Open the rankings are looking interesting and now we can start talking about the finals race of course a lot of the names in the finals race are probably not going to be there come November but it's good to get that underway and start looking at some of the points as well, let me know down in the comments below. What's the biggest shock for you? Is it the wrappers maybe dropped down or maybe Mehmedev out of the top ten or are you shocked about the women's side of things that some players maybe aren't as close as Fiontech after the first month? Remember Fiontech's got a lot of points to defend over the next couple of months so let's see if you can hang on to that top spot because Sabaleng is coming for her but it's a hell of a tournament the Australian Open it's over for another year and some big changes in the rankings this week.
