13-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams asserted herself as the heavy favorite to win the second Grand Slam of the season at Roland Garros with a dominating win against the top-ranked Victoria Azarenka at the Madrid Open on Sunday. With the title win, Williams moved up the rankings at number six and can very well add more points in the coming weeks as she has no significant ranking points to defend in the next two months.
Here are the world’s top ten players as of May 14, 2012:
[1] Azarenka, Victoria (BLR) – 9,020
[2] Sharapova, Maria (RUS) – 7,610
[3] Radwanska, Agnieszka (POL) – 7,080
[4] Kvitova, Petra (CZE) – 6,250
[5] Stosur, Samantha (AUS) – 5,435
