WTA Rankings Report – As of March 31, 2025

–

MIAMI, Fla. – Two weeks’ worth of results on the rankings front, with the extended event at the Miami Open and no update last Monday.

And the breakout move, of course, is by 19-year-old Filipino lefty Alexandra Eala, who shocked everyone by beating three Grand Slam champions (Ostapenko, Swiatek and Keys) and made the semifinals in Miami.

There also are a number of Canadian career-high rankings, as Carson Branstine joins the Canuckian women’s crew in the top 200 by winning an ITF in the Dominican Republic.

ATP Rankings Report – As of March 31, 2025

Paula Badosa (ESP): No. 11 ============> No. 9 (Badosa moves back into the top 10 at No. 8 with her fourth-round effort in Miami. But her back is acting up again, so she’s on the shelf for now).

Elina Svitolina (UKR): No. 22 ============> No. 18 (Svitolina lost a tough one to Iga Swiatek in the fourth round of Miami. But she still moves back inside the top 20 with the effort).

Marta Kostyuk (UKR): No. 29 ============> No. 24 (Kostyuk moves up with her fourth-round effort in Miami).

Ashlyn Krueger (USA): No. 40 ============> No. 34 (The 20-year-old made the fourth round in Miami, losing to Zheng Qinwen. But she moves up from a career high to a new career high, and certainly can think about getting seeded at Roland Garros).

Olga Danilovic (SRB): No. 41 ============> No. 35 (The 24-year-old Serb lost in the first round of Miami. But she was able to get to Turkey to play the second of three WTA 125s in Antalya – and won it to move to a new career high).

Emma Raducanu (GBR): No. 60 ============> No. 48 (Raducanu is back in the top 50 for the first time since she fell out after failing to defend her champion’s points at the 2022 US Open. She won four matches in Miami before losing in the quarterfinals. That, despite taking on a new coach for the Sunshine Swing – and axing him before they even got to the second part. Never a dull moment).

Jaqueline Cristian (ROU): No. 72 ============> No. 57 (Cristian wins the Puerto Vallarta 125 and ties her career-best ranking. A solid player, and an attractive one – which makes you wonder why whe’s wearing several-years-old Nike on the court).

Alexandra Eala (PHI): No. 140 ============> No. 75 (Eala captured hearts with her personality and her tennis in Miami, and had a Cinderella run to the semifinals on a wild card. She was beaten – barely – by the far more experienced Jessica Pegula. And it will be fascinating to see where she goes from here).

Anca Todoni (ROU): No. 100 ============> No. 83 (The 20-year-old Romanian hasn’t made meuch noise. But she’s inside the top 100 for the first time in her career after winning the first WTA 125 in Antalya two weeks ago).

Linda Fruhvirtova (CZE): No. 215 ============> No. 154 (Nothing much was happening for the former rising young star, still only 19. Then she got a wild card into Miami, qualified, made the third round. And now she’s made the final at the Puerto Vallarta WTA 125).

Victoria Mboko (CAN): No. 162 ============> No. 156 (It feels like with the tennis she displayed in Miami, in her first WTA 1000 main draw, Mboko deserved more than a six-spot jump, she probably did. She defeated Camila Osorio and then narrowly lost to Paula Badosa, impressing a tennis world that largely hadn’t known who she is. Next up will be her BJK Cup debut).

Carson Branstine (CAN): No. 220 ============> No. 192 (Into the top 200 for the first time for the 24-year-old Canadian, who squeezed into the Miami qualifying, losing to Taylor Townsend. But then went to an ITF in Santo Domingo during the second week – and won it.

Ashlyn Krueger (USA) (No. 34)
Olga Danilovic (SRB) (No. 36)
McCartney Kessler (USA) (No. 42)
Sonay Kartal (GBR) (No. 60)

Carson Branstine (CAN) (No. 192)
Kayla Cross (CAN) (No. 221)

Elena Rybakina (KAZ): No. 8 ============> No. 10 (A bit of a shocker of a loss for Rybakina to Ashlyn Krueger in the second round of Miami, who drops her to her lowest rankingsin more than two years. She was spotted on a clay court in Dubai with her boyfriend/former coach Stefano Vukov, who is currently suspended by the WTA. So that’s always an interesting twist).

Danielle Collins (USA): No. 15 ============> No. 22 (There wasn’t much about Collins’ results this year that made you think she was going to defend her susprise Miami title. Indeed, she didn’t; losing in the fourth round and dropping out of the top 20).

***Collins won Miami last year, but couldn’t defend her title.***

Ekaterina Alexandrova (RUS): No. 20 ============> No. 26 (Alexandrova, who beat Iga Swiatek and Jessica Pegula last year and made the Miami semis, loses in the second round and drops six spots).

Maria Sakkari (GRE): No. 51 ============> No. 64 (Sakkari’s year-old struggles are finally showing up in her ranking. And she’s out of the top 60 after losing in the third round in Miami. She faces Canadian wild card Marina Stakusic in the first round of Charleston)

Anhelina Kalinina (UKR): No. 55 ============> No. 68 (Kalinina was upset in the first round of Miami by Victoria Azarenka, and the points from her fourth-round effort a year ago drop off).

Caroline Garcia (FRA): No. 74 ============> No. 101 (Garcia is going to need some wild cards from now on, as she drops out of the top 100 for the first time since May, 2013. A year ago, she defeated Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff and made the quarters. This year she beat Bondar, but lost to Swiatek in the second round in Miami).

Sorana Cirstea (ROU): No. 101 ============> No. 119 (The former No. 21, now 34, is playing decent tennis under new coach Sven Groeneveld. But it’s not showing in her ranking. She lost in the second round in Miami).

Brenda Fruhvirtova (CZE): No. 260 ============> No. 289 (The younger Fruhvirtova sister, who had passed big sister Linda in the rankings awhile back, has dropped down mostly because of absence. After losing in the final round of the Australian Open qualifying, she’s played two matches at the ITF level – and retired in both. It’s not the first time, even though she’s still only 17, that she has missed large chunks of time. Fruhvirtova was at her career high of No. 87 last July).
