MELBOURNE, Australia — Angelique Kerber's upset win over Serena Williams at the Australian Open and Milos Raonic's second Grand Slam semifinal appearance will ensure they're the biggest movers among top players in projected rankings to be released this week.
Seventh-seeded Kerber's three-set win on Saturday, which prevented Williams from securing her 22nd major title, is expected to result in the German player moving to No. 2 on the WTA Tour.
The rankings, expected to be released Monday, should show Williams at No. 1, Kerber at No. 2 and Simona Halep, who lost in the first round at Melbourne Park, dropping one spot to No.
