 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Cam Williams and we are here for the weekly ranking show where we go through all the ATP and WTA rankings for the week and things are starting to get serious. On the WTA, WTA finals are just around the corner We have one week to go and there's five spots up for grabs. Big changes this week in both the men and the women's rankings Of course, Indian Wells was this time last year as well So a lot of points have fallen off for some players. Last week we had four tournaments, two on the men, two on the women Let's go check them out. We're gonna start with the WTA results from last week and at the Transylvania open We had Blinkova defeating Paulini, 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 on the indoor court to Romania So Blinkova getting a win over at the San Diego open We had Igor Svjontek defeating Vekic who came in as a qualifier as a three set battle 6-3, 3-6, 6-6 Love Svjontek lifting her eighth trophy of the season over on the men's side We had the Gijon open with Rubelev defeating Korda 6-2, 6-3 and Rubelev got a nice booster points Going to his total ahead of the ATB finals in a month's time and over in Florence at the Florence open We had Aliasseem defeating Wolf 6-4, 6-4 and just like Rubelev FAA is looking for a lot of points to try and qualify for the ATB finals So he got a nice boost as well winning his second trophy of his career All right, let's go have a look at the WTA rankings this week and some big changes Due to the points from Indian Wells falling off from this time last year Svjontek though, she's number one of course She cannot be stopped. Jabir at number two, Konservator number three for now But remember Konservator has a lot of points over the next two weeks to defend and she's out for the season So don't expect her to be there much longer But Paola Berasa, she drops down five spots losing a thousand points from Indian Wells this time last year Winning that title, she's going down to number nine in the world Making way for everybody else to go up an extra spot So Sabalenko goes up to four, Pagulla goes up to five, Sakri up to six Golf goes up to seven which is a career high for her and Halup goes up to number eight despite not playing But yeah, but also down to number nine five spots lower because of those Indian Wells points that fell off And at the number ten, Garcia stays there for now with Guadalajara around the corner Big points up for grabs next week. Looking at the WTA finals race now And as I mentioned three spots have now been taken with Pagulla being the third player to qualify at the start of last week She made the semi finals of San Diego as well So that did help her cause so she is now the third player to qualify behind Shriontekid 1, Jabirat 2 At number four, Coco Gough, she's only a hundred points from qualifying So she's very close to being the fourth player But we have a bit of a change in the middle with Sabalenko going up to number five making a quarter final last week And both Garcia and Kazakina going down after having poor results last week So a little change in the middle there Sabalenko five, Garcia six, Kazakina seven Kudamatova is at number eight So she is where the cutoff is, Zachariot nine, but we do have a change in the bottom Benchage, she didn't play last week so she dropped down at number eleven With Bedossa making a quarter final in San Diego going up to number ten Going into next week and next week, nine hundred points up for grabs The last tournament of the year to get points And there's still like ten players that could qualify Five spots left, around ten to fifteen players that could qualify Technically it's gonna be a huge week next week in Guadalajara Let's have a look at the players that have gone up in the rankings last week Outside of the top ten, Vekic, she's gone up thirty spots in number forty-seven in the world After making it to the final of San Diego as a qualifier So got rewarded there and Blinkova, she's gone up fifty-eight spots To number eighty in the world after winning in Transylvania So two players getting a huge boost to finish off the season Going down to the rankings, we had Oztapenko She went down six spots in number twenty-three after failing to defend The point she lost in Indian Wales last year which is unfortunate Because she didn't really have a chance to defend them And Azarenka also dropping down thirteen spots to thirty-seven For the same reason, making the final last year at Indian Wales From this time last year, remember it was in October She dropped down the rankings after losing those finals points So very unlucky for two players who didn't get to defend the points Because there wasn't a big event to cover those Indian Wales points from last year Let's have a look at the men's side of things now And not too many changes to the top ten up the top With Alcarez still at number one Raffer at two, Root at three, Mehvedev at four City pass at five, Zverev still at number six Djokovic at seven We do have a little change down the bottom here With Rublev going up to number eight Pushing Fritz down to number nine after Rublev played And one in Spain last week And Kam Nori, he goes down four spots Just like Bedossa on the women's side losing those points from Indian Wales Lost a thousand points, he goes down four spots Making way for Felix, Ojalia Seym Who goes up three spots back into the top ten After winning in Florence last week So a little bit of a change down the bottom of the rankings there But expect massive changes over the next few weeks Let's go over the race to the finals now and five players qualified Now you've got Alcarez at one, Nadal at two, Root at three And City pass at four With Djokovic at five as the fifth player Mehvedev is at number six Still has to get a couple of hundred points to qualify himself We don't know when he's coming back because he just had a baby And he's also injured so we'll keep an eye out on Mehdi Rublev after winning last week gives himself a better chance He's at number seven, FAA He goes up to number eight Pushing Fritz down to number nine after winning a tournament last week So he got a little boost in the rankings due to that win And Hooby Hercatch, he runs out the top ten for this week Not too many players playing next week on the ATP So the race to the finals shouldn't look too different But Basel, Vienna and Paris Coming up in the next month Those tournaments are the ones where the points will matter most Let's have a look at the players that have gone up in the rankings Outside of the top ten Sebastian Korda made a final last week He goes up eleven spots to number 36 in the world And JJ Wolff also made a final last week Going to a career high number 56 in the world Nineteen spots higher than last week So the Americans, the young Americans Doing well last week in Europe and getting a boost in the ranks Players that have dropped down on the rankings Just like the women's side If the Indian Wells players from last year Demetrov made the semi-finals Indian Moz last year, he dropped down eight spots Number 32 And Basilash Villi He's gone down 57 spots to number 93 After losing all the points from the final Of Indian Wells last year So another tough break for those guys Because those points were hanging around From October last year They've fallen off now and Some players have really dropped down the ranks So there you have it They are the rankings for this week Not too much to talk about on the men's side of things But on the women's side It is getting serious And we have one week left Until the WTA finals are completed And or at least secured Five spots up for grabs Guadalajara, huge finish to the year Who's going to make it? You tell me down below in the comments Who do you think's going to make it to the WTA finals? I think Goff's going to make it She's pretty much there She just has to win one match or two matches But it's going to be a massive week next week In Mexico Make sure you join us We're going to be watching a hell of a lot of matches But the season's almost over for the ladies And things are getting really interesting in the rankings
