Azarenka may lose no.1 ranking as Serena Williams closes in at Doha


Victoria Azarenka, the  reining world no.1 for the last one year may feel threatened as American Serena Williams is fast closing in and is just few points behind to take over the honour from Azarenka.

The top ranking female tennis stars (L to R): Victoria Azarenka (1) - Maria Sharapova (3), Serena Williams (2) 

Victoria Azarenka from Belarus currently stands at world no.1 with 10,325 points, while the Serena Williams, currently world no.2, has 9,970 points - a difference of just 355 points.

After winning over the Russian lucky loser Daria Gavrilova 6-2, 6-1, Serena just needs to win two more matches this week to ensure she moves to the top of the world rankings on Monday.


Close by Serena at world no.3 is Russian Maria Sharapova with 9, 545 points, who is also doing good so far, winning all her matches so far. However she is likely to remain at no.3 slot even after Serena climbs to the top of the world. Sharapova has not been winning lately and she needs to work harder to remain in the run. Sharapova improved to a perfect 10-0 in Doha lifetime.
