Victoria Mboko has entered the WTA top 10 for the first time after reaching the Doha final, marking the first instance of two teenagers in the elite rankings since 2009. In the ATP rankings, Alex de Minaur rose to No. 6 following his Rotterdam title win. These changes reflect strong performances in recent tournaments including Doha, Rotterdam, and Dallas.
The latest PIF WTA Rankings, released on February 16, 2026, feature significant movements following the Qatar TotalEnergies Open in Doha. Victoria Mboko, a 19-year-old Canadian, climbed three places to No. 10, becoming the fourth Canadian woman to reach the top tier after Carling Bassett-Seguso, Eugenie Bouchard, and Bianca Andreescu. Her ascent follows a runner-up finish in Doha, where she defeated Mirra Andreeva and Elena Rybakina for key top-10 wins. This places two teenagers in the top 10—Mboko and 19-year-old Andreeva at No. 7—for the first time since July 2009, when Caroline Wozniacki and Victoria Azarenka held those spots.
Karolina Muchova claimed the Doha title, boosting her from No. 19 to No. 11 after a run where she conceded just one set. She now has 12 wins in 2026, including a victory over Rybakina in Brisbane. Maria Sakkari jumped 18 spots to No. 34 after her first semifinal since 2024, highlighted by a quarterfinal win over Iga Swiatek. Elisabetta Cocciaretto rose 17 places to No. 40 following her first WTA 1000 quarterfinal, which included a top-10 win over Coco Gauff.
Older players also advanced: Karolina Pliskova surged 151 places to No. 267 after reaching Doha's third round, and 41-year-old Vera Zvonareva climbed 223 spots to No. 357 with three top-100 wins.
In the ATP rankings on the same date, Carlos Alcaraz maintained No. 1 with 13,150 points, 2,850 ahead of Jannik Sinner at No. 2. Alcaraz has held the top spot for 15 consecutive weeks, totaling 59. Alexander Zverev sits at No. 4 but faces pressure from Lorenzo Musetti (No. 5) and Alex de Minaur, who rose two places to No. 6 after defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-3, 7-6(7-4) in the Rotterdam final. Auger-Aliassime dropped to No. 7. Ben Shelton narrowed the gap to American No. 1 Taylor Fritz to 170 points after winning the Dallas Open final. Further down, Marin Cilic jumped 18 places to No. 43, and Jack Pinnington Jones rose 43 spots to a career-high No. 138.
