WTA Rankings: Barty Top 2 and Anisimova and Voundrova Milestones
Ash Barty is closing in one No.1 and teenagers are surging in the post #RG19 WTA Singles rankings.
Welcome to the Top 2, Ashleigh Barty!
The 23-year-old Aussie celebrates her first Roland Garros title and her first ever week in the WTA’s Top 2 on Monday, and Barty isn’t the only player that makes a splash in this weeks’ rankings.
Marketa Vondrousova rises 22 spots to No.16—a new career-high for the 19-year-old Czech, while Johanna Konta rises to No.18 and takes her spot back in the WTA’s Top 20 for the first time since last March.
Croatia’s Petra Martic cracks a career-high at No.24 as a result of her quarter-final at Roland Garros, while 17-year-old Amanda Anisimova climbs 25 spots to No.26—the American isn’t just the only 17-year-old in the Top 100 she’s now the only one inside the Top 30.
Meet Amanda Anisimova.

Another American who made some noise at Roland Garros was Sonya Kenin—she rises from 35 to 30 for her Top 30 debut after upsetting Serena Williams and reaching the second week in Paris.
And not to be outdone, Poland’s Iga Swiatek is the Top 100’s second biggest biggest riser in this week’s rankings. She surges 37 spots to No.67, making her Top 70 debut as a result of a quarter-final appearance in Paris.

Swiatek is one of six teenagers in the WTA’s Top 100 and one of four players 18 or younger in the top 75 (also Anisimova, Andreescu and Potapova).
Making a Top 100 debut this is Aliona Bolsova, who rises 47 spots from 137 to 90 as a result of her round of 16 appearance at Roland Garros.
Yeah so you should probably read @LIVAUDAIS‘s feature on Spanish qualifier Aliona Bolsova who is into the Round of 16 in her Slam MD debut @rolandgarros. https://t.co/RzLbcAmsg3

Nadal on Chasing Federer: “It’s Motivation–Not Obsession”
The King of Clay doesn't need to own the biggest house on the block or the most Grand Slam titles in tennis history.
Forget about keeping up with the Joneses and worry about what quenches your soul says Rafael Nadal after winning his 12th Roland Garros title on Sunday in Paris.
It’s not a quest for titles or a march towards history for the King of Clay. He may be motivated by the achievements of his rivals but at the end of the day he’s happy carving his own path on the tennis court.
“Of course we push each other,” Nadal said of 20-time major champion Roger Federer, before going on to explain exactly what it is that has made him tick all these years. “I never tried to think about, ‘Well, I gonna catch Roger or not?’ Being honest, I am not very worried about this stuff, no?”

The Grand Slam arms race may be important to the punditry, but Nadal isn’t overly concerned by the raw numbers.
“You can't be frustrated all the time because the neighbor has a bigger house than you or a bigger TV or better garden,” he said. “That's not the way that I see the life, you know.And I just try to do my way. I feel very lucky about all the things that are happening to me. And if, at the end of my career, I am able to win a couple of more Grand Slams and be closer to Roger, will be unbelievable. If not, for me, still unbelievable, no?”
It doesn’t mean Nadal wouldn’t like to catch Federer and maybe even pass him in major titles someday. It just means that the King of Clay doesn’t get caught up in the externals.
“Well, it's a motivation, but it's not my obsession,” he told reporters. “If you ask me whether I would like it, of course. If that's a goal in my career, no. It's not what makes me get up every morning or go and train and play. It's not the way in which I view the sport, and it's not the way in which I consider my sports career.
“But I don't think my future will be worth any more if I equal Federer's record or if I do something like Djokovic or whatever. I consider that I'm going much further than I dreamt about in my career.”
He added, in closing: “I just value my playing and having this beautiful career more than anything.”
