New top ten member, Vinci skyrockets in new women's WPT rankings changes

The women's WPT rankings have seen significant changes following the season-opening Blockchain.com Miami Padel Open 2022.

While there were no changes at the very top as the top two seeds met in the final, there still are many significant gainers in the table. Not least of which, one player has made her way back into the top ten after a great tournament.

For one, debutant and former number one in tennis Roberta Vinci made a huge step up the rankings. Here are the most significant shake-ups.

Changes in top 20

20-year-old Bea González, the youngest Open winner in World Padel Tour history back in 2020 at 18 years old, has climbed back into the top ten.

After reaching the semi-finals in Miami with Marta Ortega, she has moved up one place to become tenth, leapfrogging the injured Marta Marrero.

Ortega herself, previously 14th, has moved up two slots after the season opener in Miami.
