What a week for our top players. Katie consolidates GB#1 status by re-entering the top 100 and moving to a new CH. Jodie moves back to GB#2 while GB#3 to #6 group around WR130 to WR145. Elsewhere Emily A climbs 30 places to a new CH and into the top 400 for the first time and Millie Rajecki celebrates returning home for the summer as the biggest climber up 171 places to WR828.
It would also be interesting to see a weekly summary taken for the whole grass court season to date (as opposed to the last calendar week), starting from the rank positions pre-Surbiton?
Perhaps, other sections of the tennis calendar could be given rhe same treatment too?

Thanks for the link, Strongbow. The latest table there shows very nicely how the rankings could develop for the GB women over the next couple of months. I'll be sure to keep an eye open for updates to that thread, in future.
The thing I was thinking was to tie the figures to the particular tennis season, ie. cumulative ranking change for the grass season, or for the clay season, or the early hard court season, or the late hard court season.

New CHs for Isabelle, Millie and Kristina. Katy Dunne is the biggest climber this week, up 69 to WR515. Alicia Dudeney drops out of the rankings leaving us with 41 ranked women. No points dropping next week gives opportunities for those playing the WTA events a free hit to add points. Just a short list of the rankings this week.
very few of our ladies add points this week and with no points dropping there are very few climbers. Ranah and Ella benefit from 1 point courtesy of their Eastbourne qualifying wildcards
Congratulations to Jodie on entering the Top 100 for the first time at WR98 and almost certainly securing her place in the US Open main draw (this weeks rankings are used for main draw entry). Katie Boulter also moves up to a new career high of WR73. Otherwise not much change in our top 10.
The other big news this week is Hannah Klugman gaining a WTA ranking for the first time at WR1095. She is not only the youngest person with a WTA ranking, but the only 14 year old to have a WTA ranking - the next youngest is Julia Stusek who turned 15 on 30 June. Mimi Xu also re-enters the rankings as she leaves the National Academy at Loughborough and having done her GCSEs and moving on the Pro Scholarship Programme [presumably] becomes a full-time tennis player. Unfortunately Emily Webley-Smith's regaining of a WTA ranking is short lived as she drops out of the rankings, leaving us with 42 ranked women.
As well as Jodie, Katie B and Hannah K, there are new career highs for Isabelle Lacy, Millie Rajecki, Kristina Paskauskas and Alisha Reayer
