Badosa, Raducanu WTA climbers of the week

Paula Badosa and Emma Raducanu are the two changes to the QTA rankings this week with the Spaniard making her first appearance in the Top 10, at No.10. and Raducanu cracking the top 20.

It is remarkable achievement for both players, Badosa started the year as No.70 and Raducanu was No.150 at the start of the US Open.

Badosa won her first WTA singles title in Belgrade, reached the quarterfinals at Roland Garros and then won Indian Wells.

She becomes the fifth Spaniard to reach the top 10, joining Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and Garbiñe Muguruza, Conchita Martinez and Carla Suárez Navarro.

Raducanu jumped one spot to become the fifth British woman to reach the top 20.

In her most recent event, Raducanu reached the quarterfinals at Cluj and will play her final tour event of the year in Linz this week.
