WTA Rankings Update

The latest WTA rankings reflect shifts among Ukrainian players following the grass-court season. Daria Snigur climbed nine spots to No. 75 after reaching the quarterfinals in 's-Hertogenbosch. Dayana Yastremska, who also competed in that tournament, exited in the round of 16 and dropped one place to No. 50. Oleksandra Oliynykova held steady at No. 51, while Yuliia Starodubtseva and Anhelina Kalinina each fell two positions to No. 59 and No. 71, respectively.

Elina Svitolina remains at No. 8 in the WTA rankings and is set to begin her campaign at the WTA 500 event in Berlin. A major milestone for Svitolina is crossing the $30 million mark in career prize money. She becomes just the 12th player in WTA history—and the seventh among active competitors—to reach that figure. Svitolina recently won the WTA 1000 title in Rome and advanced to the quarterfinals of Roland Garros 2026, where she lost to Marta Kostyuk. Her participation at the French Open earned her approximately $540,000.
