WTA rankings: Coco’s career high, Ons on the up
The Tunisian is the week’s big winner – a title and a new career high
Ons Jabeur is the week’s biggest winner on the WTA rankings – up to a new career high of world No 3 as she takes home the trophy in Berlin.
The Tunisian won the title there in unfortunate fashion as her good friend Belinda Bencic retired from the final through injury.
Sakkari soars, #5
Elsewhere in the top 10, nobody is within touching distance of Iga Swiatek in the world No 1 spot, but Maria Sakkari, the Berlin semi-finalist, has moved up one place, to world No 5.
The Greek reached the quarter-finals in Nottingham last week as the top seed, and went one better in Birmingham.
New career high for Coco, #12
Coco Gauff is putting together some solid form, reaching the Berlin semi-final this week for her bow on grass this year, and she’s rewarded with a new career high ranking of world No 12.
Haddad Maia goes higher, #29
The Birmingham champion Beatriz Haddad Maia breaks into the Top 30 after a sensational start to her grass-court season, with ten wins in a row. She’s unbeaten in the UK so far this year as she heads to Eastbourne having won the singles and doubles in Nottingham as well.
