Simona Halep rose one step in the WTA ranking – She will be 8

Despite no longer gaining points in the world rankings, Simona Halep will move up one place in the WTA rankings from next week.

How is that possible? Paula Badosa unexpectedly lost in the quarterfinals in San Diego (6-7(5), 4-6) against Danielle Collins, the 19th ranked player in the world.

After this defeat, the Iberian woman will lose at least 5 positions in the WTA ranking, and from Monday she will be in 9th place.

Simona Halep took advantage of this, our athlete rose by 8 (3020 points against 3010 of the athlete from Spain).
