Russia's Maria Sharapova reclaimed the world number one spot in the women’s WTA rankings released Monday as a result of her semifinal finish at the US Open.
Sharapova became the first Russian woman to achieve the feat last month but the 18-year-old was displaced by American Lindsay Davenport after just four days.
But she jumped ahead of Davenport, who reached the quarterfinals of the final Grand Slam event of the season last week, despite being beaten by eventual champion Kim Clijsters.
Clijsters of Belgium moves up one spot to third at the expense of Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo.
France's Mary Pierce, the defeated finalist at Flushing Meadows on Saturday was the biggest mover, as she jumped six spots to return to the top ten at number six.
Svetlana Kuznetsova, the 2004 US Open champion from Russia, dropped seven places to number 12.
