Rutuja Bhosale, who has dropped nine places to 411, Riya Bhatia, who has dropped five places to 490, and Sahaja Yamalapalli, who has risen 20 places to 508, are India’s top five women’s singles players.
Karman achieved a career-high 196 ranking in 2018. Karman’s victory in Saguenay was his third singles title, and his second this year. She had won a W25 tournament in Gurugram in June. In 2018, Karman won her first singles title in Hong Kong.
Karman Kaur came back from a set down to win the title by 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 against Canada’s Katherine Sebov in the final.
Earlier in the tournament, Karman upset second seed Robin Anderson (USA) in the first round and Japanese Ena Shibahara, half of the French Open 2022 mixed double champions, in the second round.
The Indian, who was ranked outside the top 400 in February, has had a fantastic year in 2022.
Karman stunned France’s Chloe Paquet, then world number 109, in the first round of the WTA Chennai Open 2022 last month and earned praise for her outstanding performance against former Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard in the second round.
