Li Na no longer present in the WTA Rankings starting this week

Li Na’s name will no longer be in the WTA Rankings starting this week. The Chinese tennis superstar announced her retirement back in September but her name is still in the roster. She ended the season ranked number 9.

Li reached a career-high ranking of number two earlier this year after winning the Australian Open title but her ranking fell after being inactive following the Wimbledon tournament.

With Li Na out of the rankings, those ranked below her will move one step up. Australian Open 2014 runner-up Dominika Cibulkova returns in the top ten, matching her career-high ranking.
