LONDON (AP) — Iga Swiatek’s Wimbledon championship moved her up to
No. 3 in the WTA rankings Monday, and Amanda Anisimova’s runner-up
finish allowed the American to break into the top 10 for the first
time at No. 7.
A year ago, Anisimova was ranked 189th and wasn’t able to get into
the field at the All England Club automatically. So she tried to
qualify but lost. This year, Anisimova was seeded at Wimbledon and
made it all the way to her first Grand Slam final, beating No. 1
Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals before losing to Swiatek 6-0, 6-0.
“I look at it, and I’m like, ‘Oh, wow.’ It’s kind of a shock at
first, and I can’t really process it. Then it’s like, ‘Oh, yeah,
I’ve played very well so far this year,’ so it kind of makes sense.
I feel like I kind of look at it from both sides,” Anisimova said.
She climbed from No. 12.
“I mean, it’s super special and a surreal feeling to be in the top
10,” Anisimova said. “If I thought to myself last year, if someone
told me that I’ll be breaking the top 10 by now, I don’t know, it
would be pretty surprising to me considering where I was last
summer.”
Swiatek was No. 1 for most of the past three seasons but a year
without reaching a tournament final dropped her to No. 8 last month.
Making the final at a grass-court tournament before Wimbledon pushed
her up to No. 4, and now she’s another place higher after collecting
her sixth major trophy.
Sabalenka remained atop the women's rankings, followed by French
Open champion Coco Gauff, who lost in the first round at Wimbledon.

Laura Siegemund leaped up 50 spots for the biggest
improvement Monday — from 104th to 54th — by getting to the
quarterfinals.
The biggest fall was by 2024 Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova,
who slid 62 places, from No. 16 to No. 78, after bowing out in the
third round.
Jannik Sinner stayed at No. 1 in the ATP after his first Wimbledon
title and fourth at a Grand Slam tournament. Carlos Alcaraz, the
two-time defending champion who lost in Sunday’s final, kept his No.
2 ranking.
Semifinalist Taylor Fritz went up from No. 5 to No. 4, swapping with
Jack Draper.
Flavio Cobolli’s debut in a Grand Slam quarterfinal — he lost in
that round to Novak Djokovic — lifted the 23-year-old Italian into
the top 20 for the first time, going from No. 24 to No. 19.
Ben Shelton rose one spot to No. 9, and Andre Rublev rose four to
No. 10.
