Tennis player Kaia Kanepi took a giant leap in the world singles rankings, jumping from 94th to 65th after her 14-match winning streak was snapped in a WTA event final on Sunday. Anett Kontaveit improved her position by a more modest bump, going from 23rd to 22nd ranked in the world.
Last week in Australia was a success for both Kaia Kanepi and Anett Kontaveit, the latter reaching the finals in the Grampians Trophy, a tournament organized specifically for players isolating in their hotel rooms after a positive case of COVID-19 was discovered on the plane Kontaveit and many other players arrived with. The final however was not played due to there being a time crunch with matches having already been delayed on Thursday.
