Rohan Bopanna climbs to No. 7, Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova jumps 32 places to career-high No. 10

By India Today Sports Desk: 43-year-old veteran Rohan Bopanna rose to No. 7 in men’s doubles rankings after his run to the semi-final of Wimbledon 2023 with his partner Matthew Ebeden. It’s the first time in nearly 10 years Bopanna rose to the 7th spot in men’s doubles rankings. The veteran doubles star broke back into the top 10 at the start of the year for the first time in 7 years.

Bopanna, who has a career-high ranking of No. 3, lost the Wimbledon men’s doubles semi-final to eventual champions Weskley Koolhof and Neal Skupski.

Bopanna and Ebden have been in fine form, also reaching the final of the ATP Masters 1000 in Madrid and the finals of the Indian Wells Masters on hard court. The duo won the ATP 250 doubles title in Doha and the final in Rotterdam. Bopanna and Sania Mirza also reached the mixed doubles final at Australian Open.

MARKETA VONDROUSOVA RISES TO NO. 10

Carlos Alcaraz held onto No. 1 in the ATP rankings on Monday by virtue of his victory over No. 2 Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final, and Marketa Vondrousova’s first Grand Slam title pushed her all the way up to a career-high No. 10 on the WTA list.

Vondrousova jumped 32 places from No. 42 thanks to her 6-4, 6-4 win against Ons Jabeur in Saturday’s final at the All England Club. Vondrousova, a 24-year-old from the Czech Republic, was the lowest-ranked and first unseeded women’s champion at the grass-court major.

Alcaraz’s 1-6, 7-6 (6), 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 defeat of Djokovic on Sunday marked the third time in the past four major tournaments that the men’s title match determined who would be at No. 1.

Iga Swiatek could have relinquished her 15-month hold on the WTA’s No. 1 ranking to No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon but remained there Monday.

Swiatek lost in the quarterfinals; Sabalenka lost in the semifinals.

The top seven slots in the women’s rankings stayed the same Monday, with 2022 Wimbledon winner Elena Rybakina remaining at No. 3, followed by Jessica Pegula, Caroline Garcia, Jabeur and Coco Gauff.

Elina Svitolina, who made it all the way to the semifinals just three months after returning to the tour from maternity leave, rose 49 places from No. 76 to No. 27.

The big mover in the men’s rankings was Chris Eubanks, a 27-year-old from Atlanta who played college tennis at Georgia Tech. His run at the All England Club allowed Eubanks to go from a career-high No. 43 to a new personal best of No. 31
