Rankings Watch: Bouzkova, Badosa return to Top 40; Raducanu continues rise

Marie Bouzkova and Paula Badosa re-enter the Top 40 of the PIF WTA Singles Rankings after reaching the final at Washington, while Emma Raducanu jumps 20 more spots in her summer surge.

Marie Bouzkova and Paula Badosa re-enter the Top 40 of the PIF WTA Singles Rankings after reaching the final at Washington, while Emma Raducanu jumps 20 more spots in her summer surge.

Marie Bouzkova and Paula Badosa are back inside the Top 40 of the PIF WTA Singles Rankings after reaching last week's final at the WTA 500 Mubadala Citi DC Open in Washington, D.C.

Washington runner-up Bouzkova rises seven spots from No.43 to No.36 in Monday's rankings. The 26-year-old Czech's ranking has been remarkably steady this year, never moving higher than No.34 or lower than No.43 in 2024. Her career-high is No.24 in December of 2022.

Meanwhile, Washington champion Badosa jumps 22 spots from No.62 to No.40 on Monday. Injuries were a factor in Badosa's decline, as she dropped as low as No.140 on May 20. In the 11-week span since then, the 26-year-old Spaniard has risen exactly 100 spots.

"Being back, winning big titles like a 500, winning [against] the best players in the world, competing against them again, for me it means a lot," Badosa said after capturing her fourth career WTA singles title.
