First Victory Followed by a Reversal and First-Round Exit, Kalinskaya Has Another Surprise, Climbs to Top of the List

Yesterday, in the second round of the WTA1000 Miami Open, Russian player Kalinskaya faced compatriot Zakharova. After taking the first set 6:3 and seeing the light of victory, she was countered by her opponent who won the next two sets, resulting in a disappointing exit. However, on another ranking list, this player unexpectedly reached the top position. So, what kind of list is this? And which players are featured on it? Today, let this article take you to find out.

This list is an online selection of the 15 most attractive female tennis players in March 2026. Kalinskaya, who was previously in a relationship with former world number one Sinner, was ranked first. Honestly, this player also has notable achievements on the tennis court. She has reached the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam and advanced to the final of a WTA1000 event.

Currently, world number one Belarusian player Sabalenka is ranked second on this list. To date, she has won four Grand Slam titles. Last week, Sabalenka just won the WTA1000 Indian Wells tournament, further solidifying her world number one ranking. At Indian Wells, Sabalenka also accepted her boyfriend's proposal. In both career and personal life, she is enviable.

British player Raducanu, who in 2021 soared from the US Open qualifiers with ten consecutive wins to claim her first Grand Slam title, is ranked third on this list. Notably, she is the first player in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam title starting from the qualifiers. Since then, Raducanu has only reached a Grand Slam 16-round once and has made only one tour final. Nevertheless, she often remains a focus for media and fans. Perhaps ranking third is reasonable.

Kazakh player Rybakina, who won her second Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in January, is ranked fourth. Last week, in the WTA1000 Indian Wells final, after taking the first set advantage, she was reversed by Sabalenka, ending her streak of victories over Top 10 players. Despite this, Rybakina has risen to second place in the latest WTA world rankings, the highest ranking she has achieved in her professional career.

Spanish player Badosa, who has reached the semifinals at the Australian Open and won a WTA1000 title, is ranked fifth. She is also the only player among the top five ranked outside the Top 100. In the 2026 season, Badosa has not yet achieved consecutive wins on the tour. After defeating Belarusian player Sasnovich in the first round of the WTA1000 Miami Open, she will challenge American player I. Jovic in the second round. So, can Badosa defeat her opponent and achieve a breakthrough in the 2026 season? Let's wait and see.

Canadian player Mboko and American player Anisimova, both winners of WTA1000 titles, are ranked sixth and seventh respectively; Ukrainian player Kostyuk, a tour title winner, is ranked eighth; other players included in this list are Croatian player Vekic, who reached an Olympic final; German player Lis, who has advanced to Grand Slam 16-rounds; Greek player Sakkari, a WTA1000 title winner; Italian player Paolini; Chinese player Zheng Qinwen, an Olympic champion; Polish player Swiatek, who achieved a French Open triple crown; and Australian player Boulter.
