After the Australian Open, Krejčíková moved up to third place in the world rankings

Krejčíková was the world number three for the first time last November, when last year’s winner Roland Garros lasted only two weeks. She ranks second in doubles behind Kateřina Siniaková, with whom she won the title in Melbourne.

Ashleigh Barty strengthened the first place by winning the title from the domestic Australian Open. The second place is Aryna Sabalenková from Belarus, from whom Krejčíková is 165 points.

The fourth is Polka Iga Šwiateková and the fifth is Karolína Plíšková, who did not play in Melbourne due to a broken arm. For the first time in her career, the unexpected Australian Open finalist Danielle Collins reached the top ten. The American tennis player has improved by twenty places and is tenth.

Karolína Muchová, who due to abdominal problems, was unable to defend last year’s semifinals at the inaugural grand slam of the season, met a big drop in the rankings. From 31st place, it dropped to 66th place.

There were no significant changes at the head of the men’s ranking. Spaniard Rafael Nadal, who won a record 21st grand slam title in Melbourne, is still fifth. Led by Serb Novak Djokovic, who did not start due to the rejection of the coronavirus vaccine in Melbourne, ahead of defeated finalist Daniil Medvedev of Russia.
