Ana Ivanovic stayed No. 1 when the July 14th edition of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour rankings were released today.
The positions of the Top 10 players did not change as the 2008 Olympus US Open Series began on Monday in Stanford, California.
One significant mover on the Tour rankings is former Top 15 star Anna-Lena Groenefeld, who returned to the Top 200 at No. 172. The German player recently fell as low as No.436 during the week of June 9, 2008.
