As the grass-court season unfolds and Wimbledon edges toward its final stages, the rankings within British women’s tennis are poised for a reshuffle. Katie Boulter is on track to regain her place as the top-ranked British female player. Her consistent performances and strong showings this season have propelled her above her compatriots, signaling a new chapter in domestic competition.
The rise of Sonay Kartal
Beneath Boulter in the national rankings, Sonay Kartal is making headlines of her own. With a string of impressive results and steady progress, Kartal is projected to climb to the number two position among British women. Her rise adds depth to the national pool and reflects growing strength across the board in British women’s tennis.
Emma Raducanu to settle at number three
Meanwhile, former US Open champion Emma Raducanu is set to drop to number three after Wimbledon. Though her talent is unquestioned, injuries and inconsistency have affected her recent campaign. Still, her presence in the top three reinforces a competitive and dynamic core of players representing Great Britain on the global stage.

The internal competition among Boulter, Kartal, and Raducanu sets the stage for a vibrant future, where multiple players are vying for prominence.
