Thanks to his success at the US Open, the Ukrainian tennis player rose to the TOP 5 of the world rankings.
The WTA updated the doubles rankings after the last Grand Slam tournament of the year, the US Open.
The top 5 list includes Ukrainian Lyudmila Kichenok, who won the US Open women’s tennis championship in a duet with Latvian Alena Ostapenko.
Our athlete immediately rose from 17th to 5th place. Thus, he improved the national record of Ukraine, which he already owned.
WTA Doubles Ranking:
1(2). Katerina Siniakova (Czech Republic) – 9055
2(1). Erin Rutliffe (New Zealand) – 7980
3(4). Elisa Mertens (Belgium) – 6760
4(3). Gabriela Dabrowski (Canada) – 6700
5 (17). Lyudmila Kichenok (Ukraine) – 6165
6 (18). Elena Ostapenko (Latvia) – 5948
7(5). Xie Shuwei (Chinese Taipei) – 5316
8. Taylor Townsend (USA) – 5298
9 (7). Desiree Krawczyk (USA) – 5125
10. Ellen Perez (Australia) – 4975
In the past, the best position for Kichenok and, accordingly, for all tennis players in Ukraine was the seventh step, which he had in March last year.
We remind you that Jannik Sinner previously repeated the feat 47 years ago.
