INDIAN WELLS: Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina moved up three places to a career-high ranking of seventh today after winning the prestigious Indian Wells title.
The Kazakh star beat Australian Open winner Aryna Sabalenka in Sundayโs final to avenge her defeat by the Belarusian earlier this year in the Melbourne showpiece.

Iga Swiatek retains a commanding lead as world No 1, despite failing to win a second straight Indian Wells title after a semifinal loss to Rybakina.
