Karolina Pliskova will leave the elite ten!

Karolina Pliskova is not in her ideal form at the moment, so she will have to say goodbye to her position in the elite ten. In addition, she will also lose her position as the Czech number one.

Karolina Pliskova has been ranked among the top ten tennis players in the world continuously since 2016. In the current season, however, she has not been able to build on her performances from previous years.

In 2021, the twenty-nine-year-old Czech Republic player scored 1,317 points, which puts her in twentieth position. She is currently 579 points away from the Tournament of Champions.

With the former world number one unable to defend her 2019 Eastbourne triumph, she will lose her place among the elite. She will be ranked 13th in Monday’s edition of the rankings.

Because of this, she will also lose her position as the number one player in the Czech Republic. Petra Kvitová will move up to the tenth spot thanks to her participation in the semi-finals of Eastbourne, where she was not able to beat the later winner Angelique Kerber.

However, the native of Louny will get a chance to repeat her title very soon. Wimbledon, the pinnacle of the grass season, starts on Monday. The more successful of the Pliskova twins will be there to defend the 240 points for her eighth-place finish in 2019.
