Biggest mover in the Top25 in February was Emilie up +2 places to GB#19, with lots of players up +1 places. Biggest faller was Talia down -4 places to GB#23 followed by Katie and Beth both down -2 places to GB#5 and GB#18.
Fran makes a welcome return to the rankings at 863 from her recent stint in Argentina. As a result of Indian Wells points dropping and , there is a rearranging of the deckchairs for GB#2 to GB#6. Jodie takes over at GB#2 while Harriet drops to GB#4. The Katie's swap positions with Swan moving up to GB#5 ahead of Boulter, dropping to GB#6.
It is a double in the ITF rankings - Alice Gillan is live number one in the world to match Sean Hodkin in the mens. Again, no idea what it means but it feels like being number one in a world list cant be a totally bad thing ? Emma Wilson is live 6.
At some point Francesca Jones made a significant move, after her exploits in Bogata, from 863 to 385.
It was in the April 10th rankings - that week wasn't reported here
I think that's Peter's point - it's a slight shame that this isn't kept up to date on a weekly basis, especially as so many on this forum follow women's tennis over and above men's
The only climbers of note this week are Emily Appleton up 10 to 448 and Tiff William up 248 places to 965. Emma down 17 to 85. Sonay is 217 which should be enough for Roland Garros qualifying, although may be relying on some above her not entering if she's to make the initial cut. List should be out next week.

With Emmas injuries requiring surgery Jodie will get number 1. Wish her well. But a number 1 in GB in the low 100s or just under a 100 isnt great....no?

Re GB #1, if Jodie doesn't capture the spot in the short term ( and she will with a R2 victory this week in her WTA 125 ) then, taking off 2022 points, Emma is projected to stay #1 ( or indeed return to #1 even if Jodie sneaks ahead in the next few weeks ) for a little while yet.
Further ahead, through June, with all the grass points that Jodie is defending, she could then be challenged by quite a few players. It is not unlikely that Emma will actually be the GB #1 going into Wimbledon and further on it will be there for whoever steps up to the plate.
Would be great if one or two of these could get into the top 100 but all would need pretty good summers to be close.
