WTA Rankings For The Top 32 Players (Showing Their Tennis Gear) - Updated Weekly

Keep up with the latest WTA ranking of your favorite player in the singles top 32, ie the players likely to get a seeding in the Slams. Also keep right up to date with any changes in their tennis apparel, tennis shoes and tennis racquets as this page will reflect any changes in sponsorship of the top women tennis players.

Most of the action took place outside the top ten this week, starting 20th February 2012 - though Victoria Azarenka put a little more daylight between herself and number 2, Maria Sharapova, with her faultless display in Doha. She seems to be doing a Djokovic at the moment.

There are now four German women in the top 20 as Angelique Kerber continued her dramatic rise in the rankings to join the big 3, Andrea Petkovic, Sabine Lisicki, and Julia Goerges.

In the 20s, three women made 3 place strides up the chart to reflect their recent good form - Maria Kirilenko, Yanina Wickmayer and Lucie Safarova. If Maria continues this way, and Caroline Wozniacki keeps heading the other way, Maria might end up getting her old 'job' back from adidas and Stella McCartney!

Svetlana Kuznetsova and Flavia Pennetta both fell significantly this week as neither has managed to find any consistency yet this year .

Thanks to the WTA Tour and Tennis Express websites for most of the information contained below, and where the 'facts' didn't seem to match reality, I'd like to take some credit for poring over recent photos of the WTA stars to try to work out what they were indeed wearing! If you find any inaccuracy, please email me at cheriwta@gmail.com and I'll change the info immediately, as I want this page to be the most up-to-date, accurate resource on the web.
