She jumped from seventh to second in the WTA rankings Monday, two days after winning the Australian Open. Williams captured her seventh Grand Slam title with a 2-6, 6-3, 6-0 victory over Lindsay Davenport, who remained first in the rankings.

Roger Federer also stayed at No. 1 among the men despite losing in the Australian semifinals. Lleyton Hewitt overtook Andy Roddick for No. 2 after reaching the final. Marat Safin remained No. 4 after defeating Hewitt in four sets Sunday for the championship.

Williams, who beat three of the top four players at the Australian Open, is the first woman to move to No. 2 from outside the top five in a single tournament.

Amelie Mauresmo dropped from No. 2 to No. 3 while Maria Sharapova remained No. 4. French Open champion Anastasia Myskina dropped from third to fifth. U.S. Open winner Svetlana Kuznetsova, beaten by Sharapova in the quarterfinals, fell one place to No. 6.

Elena Dementieva is at No. 7, followed by Venus Williams, Jennifer Capriati and Alicia Molik. Four Russians are in the top 10: Sharapova, Myskina, Kuznetsova and Dementieva.

Molik made the top 10 for the first time after beating Venus Williams in the fourth round and losing to Davenport in the quarterfinals. The biggest mover was Nathalie Dechy, who jumped from 25th to 13th by making the semifinals.

Among the men, Guillermo Coria is No. 5, followed by Carlos Moya, Tim Henman, Gaston Gaudio, David Nalbandian and Andre Agassi.
