Novak Djokovic, with 20 grand slam titles, will continue as No. 1 despite missing the Australian Open
Newly crowned Australian Open women's singles champion has maintained her more than two-year grip on the number one ranking after winning her third major title with a straight sets victory over Danielle Collins on January 29.
Barty, winner of the French Open in 2019 and Wimbledon the following year, has extended her ranking points lead over incumbent No.2 Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus, with French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova rising one spot into third after making the quarterfinals in Australia for the first time.
Poland's Iga Swiatek moves up five places into fourth after making her first major semifinal outside of a clay court, while 28-year-old Collins jumps up 20 places to be in the top ten for the first time after an impressive run to her maiden Grand Slam final.
