How the World Padel Tour rankings have changed after the Menorca Open

The Estrella Damm Menorca Open 2021 is in the books, leaving us with a wealth of spectacular games, sets, and individual rallies - and changes in the World Padel Tour rankings.

The Circuit is now 14 tournaments into the 2021 season after the showdown on the Balearic island, with the rankings now really taking shape as we close into the final act of the year.

With that said, these are the most notable changes in the World Padel Tour rankings, both on the men and on the women's side of the equation.
