The biggest names on the WTA Tour did not compete in the week after Wimbledon, but there have still been some significant changes further down the rankings.
Aryna Sabalenka retains a huge lead at the top as she enters her 39th consecutive week as the world No 1 and 47th overall.
The clay-court WTA 250s in Hamburg and Iasi were the only events staged on the main women’s tour last week.
Lois Boisson‘s stunning run to the 2025 French Open semi-finals as a wildcard saw her surge almost 300 places to 65th in the rankings.
The Frenchwoman has continued her rise by securing her maiden WTA Tour title at the Hamburg Open.
The 22-year-old, who was seeded fifth after accepting a wildcard, dropped just a single set in her five victories in Germany.
With the 250 points earned for her triumph, Boisson has broken into the top 50 for the first time, climbing from 63rd to 44th place.
Anna Bondar, who was beaten 7-5, 6-3 by Boisson in the Hamburg final, has jumped 18 places from 77th to 59th.
