WTA Rankings: Zheng Qinwen & Amanda Anisimova reach milestones, Iga Swiatek drops, Tatjana Maria +43
Zheng Qinwen, Madison Keys and Amanda Anisimova are all on the rise in the WTA Rankings, while Iga Swiatek has moved in the other direction.
Tatjana Maria is the biggest mover after securing her fourth and most prestigious career title at the women’s Queen’s Club Championships.
The 37-year-old German’s triumph at the WTA 500 event has lifted her 43 places to world No 43 — one place below her best-ever ranking position.
Anisimova, who fell to Maria in the final at Queen’s, has jumped two spots to a new career-high ranking of 13th.
Zheng has replaced Jasmine Paolini in the world No 4 position — her new career-high — after falling in the semi-finals to Anisimova.
Keys, who lost to Maria in the last four, has climbed from eighth to sixth, moving above Mirra Andreeva and Swiatek.
Swiatek, a five-time major champion who has spent 125 weeks as the world No 1, had not been ranked as low as No 8 since February 2022.
Emma Navarro has leapfrogged Paula Badosa into the world No 9 spot after her run to the quarter-finals at Queen’s.
