Swiatek, who swept Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the final to claim her sixth Grand Slam trophy, continues her climb back to the summit after briefly slipping to No. 8 last month. A consistent grass-court stretch, including a final before Wimbledon, had already helped her reach No. 4 ahead of the tournament.
For Anisimova, the runner-up finish represents a stunning turnaround. Just a year ago, she was ranked 189th and failed to qualify for the Wimbledon main draw, losing in the qualifying rounds. This season, seeded at the All England Club, she powered into her first Grand Slam final, highlighted by a semifinal upset of world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.
“I look at it, and I’m like, ‘Oh, wow.’ It’s kind of a shock at first,” Anisimova said of seeing her new ranking. “Then it’s like, ‘Oh, yeah, I’ve played very well so far this year,’ so it kind of makes sense.”
“It’s super special and a surreal feeling to be in the top 10,” she added. “If someone told me last year that I’d be breaking the top 10 by now, I don’t know—it would be pretty surprising to me considering where I was last summer.”
Sabalenka remains No. 1 in the rankings, despite her semifinal loss. Coco Gauff, who exited in the first round at Wimbledon, stays at No. 2 on the strength of her French Open victory.
Elsewhere in the WTA rankings, Laura Siegemund recorded the week’s biggest leap, climbing 50 places to No. 54 after reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals. Meanwhile, last year’s champion Barbora Krejcikova suffered the steepest drop, falling 62 places from No. 16 to No. 78 after losing in the third round.

American Taylor Fritz climbed from No. 5 to No. 4 following his semifinal run, swapping places with Jack Draper.
Italy’s Flavio Cobolli made his top 20 debut, rising from No. 24 to No. 19 after reaching his first Grand Slam quarterfinal before losing to Novak Djokovic.
Meanwhile, Ben Shelton moved up one place to No. 9, and Andrey Rublev gained four spots to return to the top 10 at No. 10.
With both tours heading into the North American hard-court swing, all eyes will be on whether these players can maintain or improve on their impressive Wimbledon form.
