A new champion appeared in Indian Wells (Olena Rybakina defeated Aryna Sabalenko in the final), and the WTA rating underwent serious changes after the tournament in the Californian desert. Simona Halep, temporarily suspended for doping, recorded a new drop in the world ranking.

Simona Halep, 25th place in the WTA ranking – Sorana Kirstya rose by 9 positions

Ineligible to compete after failing a doping test at the 2022 US Open, Simona Halep has dropped 6 places from her last published ranking. Halep is currently ranked 25th with 1,565 points, 390 behind after failing to defend her 2022 Indian Wells semi-final.

Things are going better for Sorana Kirstea, who climbed 9 positions after a great performance in Indian Wells (she reached the quarterfinals, where she lost to WTA leader Iza Sviatek from Poland). And Iryna Begu climbed 4 places, although she was eliminated in the first round of the “WTA 1000” competition.
