The rankings come after the Polish 20-year-old this month reached the fourth round of the women’s singles at the Wimbledon tennis championships in London, where she succumbed to lower-ranked Ons Jabeur of Tunisia.

Meanwhile, Poland's Magda Linette has moved up a notch to 43rd place in the new WTA rankings, which were released on Monday.

The 29-year-old Pole was eliminated from the Wimbledon women’s singles in the third round by Spain's Paula Badosa.

Poland's Świątek in 2018 won the Girls' Singles title at Wimbledon.
