Cutie pie, Ana Ivanovic remains the top ranked of our cutie pies in the WTA Tour rankings this week at # 2. She is shown here returning a shot against Emilie Loit of France during day six of the Sony Ericsson Open March 29, 2008. She won that match 6,1, 6-2, but then lost her next match to Lindsay Davenport 4-6, 2-6. Still, she maintains her hold on the # 2 ranking.
There was some other movement in the cutie pie rankings this week. The only move upward was Elena Dementieva who moved from 11th up to 8th after the strongest showing among the cutie pies at the Sony Ericsson Open.
The other movement among the cutie pies unfortunately was downward. Anna Chakvetadze dropped from 6th to 7th. Daniela Hantuchova dropped from 9th to 10th, Nicole Vaidisova from 15th to 17th, and Tatiana Golovin who is recovering from injuries and didn’t play in the Sony Ericsson Open dropped from 14th to 18th.
The other two in the top 20 had no change in their ranking. Maria Sharapova remained at # 5, and Patty Schnyder stayed at # 12.
Our two other cutie pies are not in the top 20 rankings. Maria Kirilenko is ranked 32, and Caroline Wozniacki is ranked 39th.
