Ostapenko has been in the world's top 100 without a break since 21 September 2015. That is 578 consecutive weeks, or 11 years.
Doubles and lower-level events
In the doubles season ranking, Ostapenko and her Taiwanese partner Su-wei Hsieh are sixth. The pair are contending for a place at the WTA Finals, where eight duos will compete.
Latvia's third-ranked player reached the semifinal of a W35 tournament last week. The points she earned will be added to the ranking next Monday, when a career-best position is expected.
This week Ostapenko continues her season at the Ningbo WTA 500 tournament.
