The official post-Wimbledon WTA Rankings has been confirmed and the top five remain unchanged with Iga Swiatek continuing her dominant streak at No 1, but there were some big winners over the fortnight at SW19.
Swiatek’s wait for a first grass-court Grand Slam continues as she was upset in the third round at Wimbledon by Yulia Putintseva, but it didn’t affect her status at No 1 as she maintained a healthy lead at the top.
The Pole started her 112th week at No 1 on Monday – just five weeks shy of Justine Henin in eighth place on the all-time list for most weeks spent at No 1 – and her lead over second-placed Coco Gauff sits at 3,148 points.
The five-time Grand Slam winner is assured of remaining at No 1 until after the US Open.
Gauff missed an opportunity to edge closer after also exiting in the third round while third-placed Aryna Sabalenka lost ground as she didn’t play due to injury, allowing Elena Rybakina to edge slightly closer.
There is a newcomer to the top five with Wimbledon runner-up Jasmine Paolini continuing her stunning late bloom as she followed up her run to the final at Roland Garros with a second Grand Slam finalist trophy after losing against Barbora Krejcikova in the final at the All England Club.
The Italian moves up two places to a career-high No 5.
Former world No 2 Krejcikova returns to the top 10 as she jumped 22 places following her Wimbledon title run while Danielle Collins is also back in the top 10 – sitting at No 9 – after reaching the fourth round in London.
There is a new career-high No 15 for Emma Navarro as she moved up two places after making the quarter-final, but the two biggest losers in the top 20 were last year’s Wimbledon finalists.
Defending champion Marketa Vondrousova slipped 12 places to No 18 after she was stunned in the first round while 2023 runner-up Ons Jabeur is down to No 16 after dropping six places.
Semi-finalist Donna Vekic just missed out on the top 20 as she moved up 16 places to No 21 while last year’s semi-finalist Elina Svitolina slipped from No 21 to No 30.

Lulu Sun came through qualifying and reached the quarter-final, defeating Emma Raducanu on the way, and her reward is a 70-place surge to a career-high No 53. Her previous best was No 123.
Raducanu is also back in the top 100 for the first time since April 2023 as she climbed 41 places to No 94 after reaching the fourth round.
Some other big names who enjoyed decent jumps are Paula Badosa who is up 28 places to No 65, Caroline Wozniacki is +15 to No 76 while Naomi Osaka just missed the top 100 as she moved up 11 places to No 102.
