Azarenka regains top ranking
Azarenka will return to the top spot when the new rankings are published tomorrow, having been overtaken by Sharapova last month following the Russian’s victory at the French Open.
Radwanska will be No.2 in the new list. The Polish player would have become No.1 for the first time if she had beaten Serena Williams in yesterday’s Wimbledon final, but she lost 6-1, 5-7, 6-2.
