Instead of traveling to the WTA Finals in Mexico the Tunisian has opted to recover and prepare for 2022.

Maria Sakkari, Ons Jabeur and Emma Raducanu are also among the players who set new highs this week.

The media-savvy American helped put a Netflix twist on the athletes aiming to play Guadalajara.

“I always wanted to get there, to be No. 1 in the world,” said the 27-year-old from Tunisia. “Top 10 I know is the beginning.”

Both Indian Wells champions—Norrie and Badosa—rise from outside the Top 25 to inside the Top 15 this week.

Monday's WTA rankings are out, and the Tunisian has risen from No. 14 to No. 8 after her semifinal showing at Indian Wells.

The Spaniard needed six match points to dispatch the Tunisian trailblazer and edge into the championship match, where two-time winner Victoria Azarenka awaits.

Badosa became the first Spaniard to reach the final four at the BNP Paribas Open since Conchita Martinez in 2003.

Among the match-ups between modern Grand slam champs, Victoria Azarenka vs. Jelena Ostapenko is one we haven’t had a chance to see often enough. They meet in the first women's semifinal Friday.

The Tunisian cooled off red-hot Anett Kontaveit in straightforward fashion, 7-5, 6-3.
