Storm Hunter climbs to a new career-high of world No.114 in the latest WTA Tour singles rankings.
This betters the 29-year-old’s previous peak of world No.119, achieved in October 2021.

Talia Gibson is sitting at a new career-high too, skyrocketing up 22 places to world No.184.
The 19-year-old from Perth makes her top-200 debut after a recent runner-up finish at an ITF 75 tournament in Slovenia.
Gabriella Da Silva Fick (up 102 spots to world No.437), Tina Smith (rising 31 places to world No.328) and Emerson Jones (jumping up 111 spots to world No.639) all sit at career-highs too after strong performances on the Australian Pro Tour.
