Former world number one Simona Halep re-entered top 10 in the WTA Rankings for the first time in more than a year after clinching her ninth Masters title in Toronto.

The Romanian jumped nine places to 6 with her win over Beatriz Haddad Maia in the final. The Brazilian Haddad Maia herself reached a career-high ranking of 16.

US Open champion Emma Raducanu slipped three places to 13th after her first-round exit in Toronto.

Eighteen-year-old American Coco Gauff became the youngest world number one in doubles since Martina Hingis, aged 17 when she achieved the feat in 1998.

ATP

Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta rose nine places to 14th in the ATP Rankings with his maiden Masters title in Montreal. Runner-up Hubert Hurkacz stayed at 10th.

Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas swapped the fifth and seventh spots after the Norwegian’s semi-final and the Greek’s second-round loss to Jack Draper.

World number Daniil Medvedev, who was the defending champion in Montreal, lost 990 points with his second-round loss to Nick Kyrgios. In case the Russian fails to reach the quarterfinals at this week’s Cincinnati Masters and Rafael Nadal wins the title, the Spaniard would enter US Open as the world number one.
