The third grand slam of the year, Wimbledon 2021, has come to an end with the top seed Ash Barty coming out as the last woman standing after a fortnight of quick fired grass court tennis. She beat Czech Karolina Pliskova in the final in three sets. And after Wimbledon, the WTA Rankings see a massive shakeup inside and outside the top 10.

World No.1 Ash Barty extends her lead by over 2000 points to second placed Naomi Osaka. Despite not participating at Wimbledon 2021, Osaka just loses 10 points and is still the world no.2. Semifinalist Aryna Sabalenka reaches her career high ranking of No.3 in the world while 2019 Champion and finalist Simona Halep and Serena Williams lose 6 places each.
