I won't doubt Novax asking for his ranking to be protected.

He doesn't believe in protection...

Touché!

When did Cam Norrie get so high in the top 20? He's the 12th seed at the Australian Open.

Osaka down to no higher than #98 if she were to lose in R1.

Remember he won Indian Wells. That's a lot of points. He made a good push at the end of the year.

I don't remember that he won Indian Wells - completely missed that tournament last fall.

Sophia Kenin plunges down the rankings. Currently at #91, but probably will lose few more spots.

What rankings are you referring to with Kenin at #91 and Osaka at #98?

Live rankings according to this site: https://live-tennis.eu/en/wta-live-ranking

In my experience they're pretty accurate.

WTA is finally back to standard 52 week rankings. ATP not yet...

Here are some interesting changes for WTA involving players no longer in the tournament

- Muguruza down at least 3 spots to #6, but could realistically be overtaken also by Sakkari and Swiatek
- Alison Riske down at least 9 spots to #55
- Karolina Muchova down at least 34 spots to #65
- Marie Bouzkova up as much as 13 to #73
- Kristina Kucova up as much as 17 to #79
- Xinyu Wang up 15 to #85 (younger generation Chinese, 20 years old)
- Martina Trevisan up 19 and back in the top 100 at #92
- Qinwen Zhang up 15 to #93 making her top 100 debut (she's 19)
- Sofia Kenin down 81 spots to #94
- Donna Vekic tumbles out of the top 100 by losing 28 positions to #107
- Jennifer Brady with an impressive 83 spot drop to #111

Is Brady hurt?

Foot injury. Hasn't played since Cincinnati last August.

Kenin's drop is also impressive, in the bad sense. But of course, she has also been very much out of the conversation.
By now, I gather that calling her a 1 Slam wonder is not too farfetched (1 slam wonder with an asterisk, as she made a second slam final).
