There were no changes in the top 10 as Serena Williams remains number one even after pulling out of the Indian Wells semi-finals with injury.
Russia's Maria Sharapova is comfortably secondwhile Czech Petra Kvitova and Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki complete the top five.
Spaniard Garbine Muguruza was another player to break into the top 20, climbing three places to 19th.
