Paolini and Krejcikova get rewarded for their Wimbledon success.
After a remarkable run through the Grand Slams in Paris and Wimbledon, Italy’s Jasmine Paolini is into the Top-5. The 28-year-old makes her Top-5 debut in Monday’s WTA rankings, while Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova rises to No.10 (from a pre-Wimbledon ranking of 32).

Also rising up the rankings is New Zealand’s Lulu Sun. The 23-year-old, who reached the quarterfinals on her Grand Slam main draw debut at Wimbledon, rises 70 spots from No.73 to No.53. She is the biggest riser in the WTA’s Top-100 this week.
American women are also on the move, as Emma Navarro, who reached her maiden Wimbledon quarterfinal last week, jumps to a career-high No.15. That means that five American women occupy the top 15 spots in the WTA rankings for the first time in 20 years.

Danielle Collins, who reached the round of 16 at Wimbledon before falling to eventual champion Barbora Krejcikova, rises to No 9.
Russia’s Diana Shnaider, who fell to Navarro in the third round at Wimbledon, reaches a career-high of No.28.
