Julia Riera

The ledger is thin and the ranking arc says otherwise: two matches on the season, a 1-1 record, and a climb from WTA No. 178 at the start of the year to a peak of 148 before settling at 152, up 27 spots from a year ago. Both came in the same week at Copa Colsanitas, where the 24-year-old Argentine dropped an opening set 6-0 to Anna Blinkova — a player who opened 2026 at WTA No. 61 — then took 12 of the last 15 games despite 10 double faults.

The Bogotá quarterfinal is where it stopped. Julia Riera led Jasmin Ortenzi a set up after 54 minutes and won 79 percent of her first-serve points in it, then watched that figure fall to 58 and 42 as Ortenzi converted seven of ten break points across the last two sets. Nothing since April 3, and no career high of 93 in sight.
