For the first time, the top 10 players in the women's tennis rankings represent 10 different countries.
The WTA said in a statement that 11 different nations are represented among the top 11 spots and 30 different countries among the top 60 in Monday's rankings.
''Having 10 different players represent the top 10 rankings shows how truly global tennis has become,'' WTA Chair and CEO Stacey Allaster said.
Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki remained No. 1, followed by Australian Open champion Kim Clijsters of Belgium, Russia's Vera Zvonareva, Italy's Francesca Schiavone and Australia's Sam Stosur.
The next five: Venus Williams of the United States, China's Li Na, Jelena Jankovic of Serbia, Victoria Azarenka of Belarus and Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska.
Shahar Peer moved to a career-high of No. 11, a record for a player from Israel. Schiavone is the first Italian to break into the top five. Australian Open runner-up Li is the first Chinese player to reach No. 7.
Former No. 1 Serena Williams, who has been out with a foot injury since winning Wimbledon last year, dropped from No. 4 to No. 12.
