The updated
\nrankings list for the WTA circuit has been released to the press this Monday.
\nSeveral things are for certain. First, Australia’s Ashleigh Barty will finish
\nthe 2020 season in top position. Despite choosing not to take part in Roland
\nGarros, Barty was favored by the fact that none of the other players aspiring
\nto the top position in the standings had had good performance in the Paris Open
\nin 2019. Another certain fact is that world no. 2, Simona Halep, will get to keep
\nher ranking until the end of the season. For years, the Romanian player has
\nbeen clinging to worldclass tennis, and given her good run this year, we are
\nconfident she may still have a lot to prove. The WTA circuit has one more
\nmasters tournament scheduled for this year, the one in Ostrava, the Czech
\nRepublic, offering $500 thousand in prize money. Finally, the women’s circuit
\nalso includes the tournament in Linz, Austria, with $200 thousand up for grabs,
\nas well as the Limoges Open in France, with winning standing at $115 thousand.<\/p>\n

As it stands,
\nthe WTA ranking shows 2020 has been a god year for Romanian tennis players.
\nPatricia \u021aig has had by far the best evolution. She won the trophy in Istanbul
\nand qualified to the Roland Garros third round, which helped her climb to 57th
\nplace, her career best. Irina Bara has also had a good year, climbing to 116th
\nplace. At Roland Garros she was ousted by Sofia Kenin of the United States, who
\nreached the final and is now in 4th place. Overall, Romania has six
\nplayers in the WTA Top 100: Simona Halep, no. 2, Patricia \u021aig, no. 57,
\nIrina-Camelia Begu, no. 76, Sorana C\u00eerstea, no. 88 and Ana Bogdan, no. 92. In
\nthe women’s doubles standings Romania has three players: Raluca Olaru, no. 41,
\nMonica Niculescu, no. 53 and Andreea Mitu, no. 91. <\/p>\n
