Women’s singles
Australian teenager Maya Joint has eclipsed Daria Kasatkina as the nation’s No.1-ranked women’s tennis player.
It’s been a meteoric rise for Joint, who has climbed from world No.119 at the end of 2024 to a career-high No.32, which puts her in a position to be seeded at Australian Open 2026.
The Queenslander, who has an impressive 48-26 record this season, has claimed WTA 250 singles titles in Eastbourne and Rabat and reached a WTA 500 semifinal in Seoul and another WTA 250 semifinal in Hobart.
Joint looks to build on her breakout season this week at the WTA 500 Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo, when she faces world No.21 Karolina Muchova for a place in the quarterfinals.
Ajla Tomljanovic also returned to the world’s top 100, climbing 15 places to No.89 after she reached a WTA 500 quarterfinal in Ningbo, China.
