Women’s doubles

Ellen Perez is back in the top 10 for the first time in five months after she teamed up with Jelena Ostapenko to win the Abu Dhabi Open. The duo was flawless throughout the campaign and did not drop a set for the tournament.

It ceases an eight-month silverware drought for Perez, who last won a title at Bad Homburg in June.

The Australian continued her stellar doubles form after a successful Australian Open 2025 campaign in which she won the mixed doubles with John Peers.

The Australian No.1 cruised through the early rounds, dropping just 22 games up until the final, where he pushed Alcaraz to a deciding set.

Jason Kubler skyrocketed up the rankings this week after reaching the final at the Brisbane 2 Challenger event at the Queensland Tennis Centre.

In his second final since returning from injury in November, Kubler defeated Australian Open 2025 main draw competitors Tristan Schoolkate and James McCabe en route. The 31-year-old ascended 273 spots to world No.507.

Olivia Gadecki joins Birrell inside the top 100 this week – her maiden top 100 berth of 2025. The 22-year-old recorded her first win of the season a fortnight ago against Japan’s No.2 Moyuka Uchijima in Singapore.

Brisbane finalist Maddison Inglis also rose significantly, climbing 12 spots to world No.133. The West Australian was dominant as she reached her first final since Playford in October before valiantly falling to Birrell in a final-set tiebreak.
