With 5,480 points, Whitwell remains the undisputed leader in the field, showing consistency and strong performances across multiple events. However, the chase for the top spot is far from over, as several players are making their moves to close the gap.
Angela Simon Stays Strong in Second
Holding steady in second place is Angela Simon, who has amassed 2,920 points. Simon’s persistence on the court has paid off, positioning her as one of the top contenders in mixed doubles. As the season progresses, Simon will be looking to challenge Whitwell’s lead and continue her climb in the rankings.
Anna Shirley and Nathalie Bagby: Rising Stars
Not far behind in third and fourth place are Anna Shirley and Nathalie Bagby, who have 2,640 and 1,850 points, respectively. Shirley’s recent surge in performance has been a highlight of the season, and her strong finish at recent events has pushed her into the top ranks.
Bagby, with her steady play, remains a top threat, and as the season starts, she could find herself inching closer to the top of the leaderboard.
A Tight Group Battling for the Top 10
The rankings show a tight grouping in the middle of the pack, with Natalija Todorovic-Shaw (1,665 points), Christine Karges (1,530 points), Lisa Alipaz (1,500 points), and Eva Welsher (1,500 points) all vying for higher positions.
These athletes continue to push each other in every event, creating an ever-changing leaderboard. With only a few hundred points separating them, the competition for the top ten spots will be fierce in the coming tournaments.
The Rest of the Field: Challengers with Potential
Towards the bottom half of the rankings, players such as Teresa Tarn (1,430 points), Sheri Courter (1,380 points), and Heather Lovett (1,250 points) remain in competition for the top spots.
These players have shown glimpses of brilliance but will need to maintain a high level of consistency if they are to make a serious push for the top of the rankings. Additionally, Karin Ptaszek-Kochis (1,170 points) and Alka Strippoli (960 points) continue to keep the pressure on the top ten players.
Players Eyeing the Top 20
