Jelena Jankovic (6*/7) - Serbia’s No.1 has continued to produce some of her best tennis - top five by the end of Roland Garros looks like a big possibility.

Shahar Peer (15/16) - Peer is back to her career high - and just one spot away from becoming the highest ranked Israeli woman ever.

Hantuchova was actually #12 the week after she won Indian Wells. Just wanted to clarify on that one detail.
