WTA
Two Australian players are set to secure a significant hike in the WTA rankings. Ajla Tomljanovic and Daria Saville recently had impressive outings in the recent past. Tomljanovic recently featured in the ATX Austin Open, where his journey ended in the semifinals.
She lost to the 2024 US Open runner-up Jessica Pegula with a score of 6-1, 4-6, 6-3. That impressive performance will see her jump 17 ranks, and she will now feature in the top 100 players in the WTA rankings. She will be world number 94 when the new rankings will be announced on Monday.
Tomljanovic defeated America’s Kattie Volynets in the first round in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 7-5. In the second round, she got the better of Jodie Burrage with a score of 4-6, 6-3, 6-0. In the quarterfinals, the Zegreb-born star defeated Ena Shibahara of Japan with a score of 7-5, 3-6, 7-6.
Another player who is set to improve her standings in the WTA rankings will be Saville. The 30-year-old recently featured in the Merida Open, where her journey ended in the semifinal after losing to Emiliana Arango with a score of 6-3, 4-6, 6-2. That performance will see her gain 12 spots in the WTA rankings, and she will be ranked 109th. That performance was impressive on so many level,s as it was the first time this season she managed to cement her spot in the quarterfinal or beyond.
Saville had an impressive run in the competition, where she defeated tournament favourite Spain’s Paula Badosa in the quarterfinal. The Spaniard was forced to retire because of a fitness concern. The final score of the match was 1-6, 5-3. In the first set, the Moscow-born defeated sixth-seed Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 7-6. In the second round, she got the better of Ukraine’s Anhelina Kalinina with a score of 4-6, 6-2, 6-2.

- Lena does not need a special coach. She is not the same person she once was. Look at your photos -- when is the last time you saw that smile and sparkle in her eyes? When is the last time you saw her family in attendance? I believe it was once this season; sister Ana accompanied her to Australia. Perhaps Lena needs time away from tennis; time with professional help? If nothing else, her family should hold an intervention to snap her out of the hold Vukov has on her. It's sad to watch her lose matches she should be winning. Sadder still to see her vacuous facial expressions.mandoist24-02-2025
