Mladenovic snaps 15-match losing streak

Published Feb 01, 2018

That's right, Kristina Mladenovic is back. Where did she go you ask? Despite her world No. 10 ranking—an increase from No. 11 last week—until Wednesday, Mladenovic had not won a match since July.

Her first win in over six months was a solid 6-4, 6-4 over Dominika Cibulkova. Mladenovic's stunning 15-match losing streak stretched back to Washington D.C. and included losses to three players outside of the Top 100 and one outside of the Top 300. Despite the slump, her ranking just rose and rose, cracking the Top 10 in late October.

Winning the Australian Open doubles crown with Timea Babos has surely played a big role in her turn in confidence.

She was two losses away from tying the record for longest WTA losing streak (Arantxa Rus and Sandy Collins both reached 17).
