Jodie re-enters the top 100 by taking full advantage of one of the benefits of the new WTA calendar - that there will be a few weaker WTA500s. Katie B reaches a career high of 48. Lily's equal biggest title moves her back in to the top 200. Outside of the GB Top 5, Marni rises 11 places to enter the top 300 for the first time. Emily A just misses out on making it back into the top 400, climbing 33 places to WR401.
5/2/2024 GB Top 5 or points added/dropped. Climbs of +10 or more in bold.
48. (+5) Katie Boulter (New CH) (R16 WTA 500 Linz). 88. (+14) Jodie Burrage (QF WTA 500 Linz). 103. (+1) Harriet Dart (QR1 Q WTA 500 Linz). 156. (-17) Heather Watson (60 pts dropped, replaced by 1 pt). 178. (+35) Lily Miyazaki (W W75 Andrezieux-Boutheon).
Lots of big gains this week. Harriet up 11 and back into the top 100, Heather up 24, Emma up 34, Katy D up 20, Ranah up 42 to a new CH of 617, Freya up 70, Alice up 39, Danielle up 28 and Bronte up 27.
Our youngsters lead the good news stories this week with Mika up a massive 170 places to WR863, Hannah up 21 to a WR641 and Hep getting her first WTA ranking at WR1189.
As noted elsewhere, Jodie and Harriet drop points from a change in what events are required to count although it isn't obvious at the moment as to why those events are required to count.
Katie B climbs into the top 30 and a new career high WR27 with the biggest title of her career in San Diego. I was going to say that will require a rethink of her schedule now she's restricted to playing 500s and above for the forseeable, but looking back she's only played 1 event below 500 level since Wimbledon anyway.
Elsewhere, Marni's W35 title points from last week are added and move her up 21 places to a new career high WR284. There are also new career high rankings for Hannah, Mimi, Mika, Sarah, Hep, Katherine and Bronte despite not playing.

Has Katie Swan lost her ranking ? Didnt realise she was injured that long
No, she's WR306 and GB no 10 at the moment. The table doesn't include every GB woman, only the ones noted at the top. There are 45 women with a ranking at the moment.
Has Katie Swan lost her ranking ? Didnt realise she was injured that long
No she's currently ranked 306, but she's not included in Lambda's list as she's well outside the top 5 and neither gained nor lost points gained last week.

Katy Dunne re-enters the GB Top 10 with Katie Swan dropping out. With Emilie Lindh Gallagher's change of flag to Norway (confirmed in the new rankings), we are down to 44 ranked women.

Lots of career highs. Lily enters the top 150 for the first time. Marni, Hannah, Mimi, Sarah and Bronte also climb to new career highs. Fran makes a welcome climb up to just outside the top 200 but will need to cover the points from Bogota last year that drop next week to maintain the ranking and put herself in the mix for Roland Garros qualifying.
The WTA appear to have reversed the change made a couple of months ago to include qualifying from being counted for the mandatory "best of 1 other WTA1000" counter. As a result Harriet increases her counting points by 18 by no longer counting 2 pts from Rome qualifying and replacing it with a 20 point counter. This moves her up a couple of places from where she would have been.
Emily WS returns to the rankings, if only for this week's rankings before falling out again after Madrid without further points. Emma begins her climb up the rankings.
Mika's W35 title in Nottingham gets added and moves her up 198 places to a career high 676. With Hannah's first points dropping off, Mika is now just 2 ranking points behind Hannah, who is the only girl younger than her above her in the rankings. Lily moves up to a new high of 135 and is closing in on Jodie for GB3. Fran has been taking 1 step forward and 2 back in terms of her ranking since her return with her dropping back to just be inside the top 300, but there are only Roland Garros points to drop off next month until October so she should be able to start making progress up the rankings over the next few months. We lose 2 from the rankings with Emily WS and Hep dropping out.
