The latest WTA rankings have brought significant milestones and achievements for two players at different stages of their careers: world number one **Iga Swiatek** and rising British star **Sonay Kartal**.

While Swiatek continues her reign at the top of women’s tennis, drawing level with a legendary player in terms of weeks spent as world number one, Kartal has made a massive leap in the rankings, reflecting her impressive progress on the circuit.

### Iga Swiatek: Reaching Legendary Status

**Iga Swiatek**, the 23-year-old Polish tennis sensation, has added yet another accolade to her already remarkable career. With her latest rankings update, she has now spent a total of **74 weeks as the WTA World No. 1**, a milestone that sees her draw level with **Ashleigh Barty**, one of the sport’s modern-day legends.

This achievement places Swiatek among the elite players in the history of the women’s game, cementing her status as one of the most dominant forces in tennis today.

#### Swiatek’s Rise to the Top

Swiatek’s rise to the top of the rankings has been nothing short of meteoric. She claimed her first Grand Slam title at the **2020 French Open**, where her dominant and fearless playing style captivated the tennis world.

Since then, she has grown into a more versatile and mature player, regularly contending for titles on different surfaces, including hard courts and clay. Her transition from a promising young talent to a consistent world number one has been swift and decisive.

In 2022, Swiatek capitalized on Barty’s sudden retirement and quickly took over the mantle of world number one. Her dominance in 2022 was unparalleled, as she went on a remarkable winning streak of **37 matches**, the longest in the WTA in over two decades.

Her ability to impose her game on opponents, especially on clay, has been a key factor in her success. Swiatek’s continued consistency has made her a formidable force at the top of the rankings.

#### Joining the Elite Group of World No. 1s

Drawing level with Ashleigh Barty in weeks as world number one is a significant accomplishment for Swiatek. Barty, a three-time Grand Slam champion, was widely regarded for her all-court game and tactical prowess before her unexpected retirement in 2022.

Barty’s exit left a void at the top of women’s tennis, but Swiatek has filled that gap with dominance and determination.

Swiatek now joins an elite group of players who have held the No. 1 spot for an extended period. The record for the most weeks as world number one is held by **Steffi Graf**, with 377 weeks, followed by **Martina Navratilova** (332 weeks) and **Serena Williams** (319 weeks).

While Swiatek has a long way to go to challenge these all-time records, reaching 74 weeks so early in her career signals that she has the potential to stay at the top for many more years to come.

#### A Growing Legacy

This milestone of 74 weeks is not just a testament to Swiatek’s talent but also to her mental resilience and work ethic. Maintaining the top spot in women’s tennis is no easy feat, especially given the depth and unpredictability of the current WTA Tour.

Swiatek has had to fend off challenges from players like **Aryna Sabalenka**, **Elena Rybakina**, and **Jessica Pegula**, all of whom have pushed her in various tournaments.

As Swiatek continues to build her legacy, this milestone will serve as a reminder of her ongoing dominance in the sport. She is expected to remain a top contender for Grand Slam titles and further extend her reign as world number one.

For many, Swiatek’s combination of technical skill, athleticism, and mental toughness has positioned her as the face of women’s tennis for the foreseeable future.

### Sonay Kartal: +55 Ranking Rise and a Career Milestone

While Iga Swiatek continues to make history at the top, another player further down the rankings is making significant strides. **Sonay Kartal**, a rising British tennis talent, has secured a major career milestone in the latest WTA rankings update, climbing **55 places** to reach her highest ranking yet.

#### Kartal’s Journey to Success

Kartal, 22, has been steadily making a name for herself on the professional circuit. Born in Brighton, England, she has shown promise as one of Britain’s most exciting young prospects.

Kartal’s rise in the rankings is a result of a series of strong performances at ITF and WTA tournaments, where she has consistently fought her way through tough draws to earn valuable ranking points.

Her latest surge in the rankings reflects her impressive form in recent months, where she has begun to transition from the ITF Circuit to competing more frequently in WTA events.

This leap is a reward for her perseverance, hard work, and ability to adapt to the higher level of competition. Moving up 55 spots is no small feat, especially considering the depth of talent in the lower tiers of the WTA rankings.

#### Key Results Behind Kartal’s Climb

Kartal’s recent successes include a series of deep runs in ITF events, where she has reached semifinals and finals, showcasing her ability to go toe-to-toe with higher-ranked players.

Her performance on grass and hard courts has been particularly encouraging, as she has shown the versatility needed to compete at the WTA level.

One of her most notable performances came at the **Nottingham Open**, where Kartal impressed with her aggressive baseline game and composure in pressure situations.

She also made significant strides during the **Challenger Tour**, earning crucial wins that have now translated into a career-best ranking. Kartal’s ability to handle the intensity of professional tournaments, coupled with her work ethic, has been pivotal to her recent ranking surge.

#### Future Prospects for Kartal

Kartal’s breakthrough in the rankings is a clear indication that she is ready to make her mark on the WTA Tour. With a newfound confidence and momentum, she is likely to continue rising through the ranks in the coming months.

The experience gained from playing against higher-ranked players in WTA events will further develop her game and prepare her for bigger stages, including Grand Slam qualifications.

Her +55 rise in the rankings places her in a strong position to break into the **Top 200** soon, a major milestone for any up-and-coming player.

This jump also opens doors for direct entry into more WTA tournaments, allowing her to test her skills against even tougher competition.

For British tennis, Kartal’s rise is an encouraging sign. With former British No. 1 **Emma Raducanu** working her way back from injury and **Katie Boulter** making her own strides, Kartal’s progress adds depth to Britain’s women’s tennis prospects.

The hope is that Kartal can follow in Raducanu’s footsteps and become a fixture in the top tier of women’s tennis in the coming years.

### Conclusion: A Day of Milestones in the WTA Rankings

The latest WTA rankings update reflects two significant milestones: **Iga Swiatek** continues to build her legacy at the top of the sport, drawing level with **Ashleigh Barty** in terms of weeks spent as world number one, while **Sonay Kartal** is making her own mark with a career-high ranking and a remarkable +55 jump.

Both achievements highlight different stages of success, with Swiatek reinforcing her dominance and Kartal signaling her arrival on the world stage. These milestones underscore the ever-evolving nature of women’s tennis and the depth of talent across all levels of the sport.
