The strongest tennis player of Ukrainian Elina Svitolina, on account of which this season is already three titles have returned to record 10-th row. However, next week Kharkov will leave the top 10. The reason for that unexpected defeat Svitolina in the first round of the tournament in Madrid – Ukrainian, with two match-bol, was not able to press the tennis player from China’s Zheng Saisai.
Serena Williams spends the last week on the status of the first racket of the world. Monday, may 15th, Angelique Kerber will be back on top of the WTA rankings and can stay long on the first line, because at Roland Garros last year, Kerber lost in the first round, and therefore points to defend on clay majors she doesn’t have.
The main threat to the leadership Kerber is the Czech Carolina Pliskova, who in case of victory in Madrid can be significantly closer to the German tennis player. Pliskova you need to take two more matches to become the second racket of the world.
