Great news for Austria's Julia Grabher : The surprise winner of the ITF tournament in Bellinzona , which is endowed with 60,000 US dollars, gained 52 places in the WTA ranking thanks to her tournament victory and is now number 196. Grabher thus trumped her highest ranking position to date 198 - strong! Austria's number 1 remains Barbara Haas in 155th place.
Little has changed at the top: Ashleigh Barty continues to lead ahead of Naomi Osaka and Simona Halep.
Charleston winner Veronika Kudermetova made up nine places and with 29th place is higher than ever before. Finalist Danka Kovinic even won 26 places and is now 65 in the world rankings.
Bogota surprise winner Maria Camila Osorio Serrano , who won the title in her fourth WTA main field appearance, rushes up 45 numbers - the 19-year-old is now number 135, also a personal best.
Best German players: Angelique Kerber (25th), Laura Siegemund (58th)
Carlos Alcaraz is approaching the top 100
The top men in the men's group took it easy over the past week - so little has changed at the top.
Specifically for the gentlemen: nothing at all. Novak Djokovic leads here in front of Daniil Medvedev and Rafael Nadal, Dominic Thiem remains fourth and Alexander Zverev sixth. Marbella winner Pablo Carreno Busta made the only real jump among the top 20, from 15th to 12th place. Cagliari winner Lorenzo Sonego is also probably happy about six places he has won, with 28th place now higher than ever in the ATP Ranking.
Speaking of Marbella: Thanks to his semi-finals, youngster Carlos Alcaraz is also getting closer to the Top 100, he is now in 118th place. The trend is up!
Best Germans after Zverev: Jan-Lennard Struff (41st), Dominik Koepfer (56th), Yannick Hanfmann (99th); best Austrians after Thiem: Dennis Novak (110th), Jurij Rodionov (139th), Sebastian Ofner (159th)
