WEEK: 01.11.2016
Alison Riske was on a mission to improve her ranking in 2016. She wanted to start the season on a more positive note than she ended the 2015 season. She did just that by getting to the Shenzhen Final, her first tournament of the season. Her reward, a rise in her ranking position by 23 spots. Hopefully Riske will take this winning form into the Australian Open and surprise a few players along the way.
