Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek and Cori Gauff reach a career-high record in live rankings before even the start of Wimbledon because some players dropped the points conquered during the last edition of the Championships in 2019.
Aryna Sabalenka took advantage of the fact that the defending champion, Simona Halep, could not participate in the British major because she did not recover from her calf injury. Therefore, Aryna is now ranked no.3 in the live rankings.
Iga Swiatek is also at a career-high in the live rankings after going up 2 places and is the new world number 7 after Simona Halep and Serena Williams (the Wimbledon 2019 runner-up) dropped their points.
Coco Gauff also gained 1 place in the live rankings to establish a personal record after Karolina Muchova lost 2 places.
This is the list with the WTA players who have currently reached a career-high in the live rankings.
