Ajla Tomljanovic has re-entered the WTA top 100 after a strong week in s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.

The 33-year-old defeated three opponents within the top 60 to progress to her first WTA semifinal since Rabat in May 2025. As a result, she climbed 13 places to world No.96.

 

A positive start to the grasscourt swing for Taylah Preston has seen her move to a career-high ranking.

After reaching the quarterfinals at the Birmingham WTA 125 tournament last week, Preston improved to world No.124 this week and will hope to go higher after a winning start in Nottingham.

Meanwhile, Maddison Inglis returned to the top 150 after successfully qualifying at Queen’s Club for a second-straight year.
