The week starts with difficulty for Ons Jabeur. The Tunisian player, formerly 28th in the world, plummeted in 36th place in the WTA ranking published this Monday, May 5, 2026. With a total of 1458 points, she lost eight places due to her premature elimination in the Madrid tournament.
Jabeur was stopped in the second round by the Japanese Moyuka Uchijima, who then created the surprise by reaching the quarterfinals. This performance allowed Uchijima to climb 9 places to climb to 47th in the world.
At the top of the ranking, few changes: Aryna Sabalenka retains first place, followed by Iga świątek. The American Coco Gauff continues her progression by seizing the third position, while her compatriot Jessica Pegula is falling back in fourth.
For Ons Jabeur, this decline highlights an empty passage which it will quickly overcome if it hopes to find the top 20 in the coming months.
