Rankings Report: The Penultimate Week in the WTA


When Serena Williams claimed her third consecutive year-end crown in Singapore on Sunday, the book was essentially closed on the WTA's top 10 rankings for 2014. On Monday, things became official. 

Behind Williams and Maria Sharapova is Simona Halep, who defeated Williams in the round-robin stage only to fall to her in the final, ends the most successful season of her career at No. 3 in the world, pushing Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova down to No. 4. Off of her most successful season since winning Roland Garros in 2008, Ana Ivanovic ends 2014 as World No. 5, just 10 points clear of No. 6 Agnieszka RadwanskaEugenie Bouchard ends her breakout year at No. 7, while the top 10 is rounded out by Caroline WozniackiLi Na (who has yet to remove her name from the WTA rankings after retiring) and Angelique Kerber

Over in the ATP top 10, Andy Murray moved up two spots on the back of his title in Valencia - his third ATP trophy in five weeks. Tommy Robredo, who lost five match points against Murray in that final for the second straight meeting, moves up four spots in the rankings to No. 17. In other movement in the ATP's top 30, David Goffin, who lost in the final of the Swiss Indoors in Basel to Roger Federer, moves up six places to No. 22. 

Also making jumps in the ATP rankings are Benjamin Becker, who moves up 10 places to No. 35 after a quarterfinal in Basel; Thomaz Bellucci, who rises 15 spots to No. 43 after making the quarterfinals in Valencia; and Pablo Carreno Busta, who also made the last eight in Spain and moves up 13 sports to No. 50.
