Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova has made a significant return to the WTA's top 10 rankings after six months, climbing 22 places to secure the No. 10 spot. The Czech player's victory in the tournament marked her second Grand Slam title, with her last ranking in the top 10 dating back to January 8. Krejcikova has previously reached No. 2 in singles and No. 1 in doubles.

Runner-up Jasmine Paolini also saw a career-best ranking, rising to No. 5 following her impressive performance at Wimbledon. Paolini's journey to the finals at both Wimbledon and the French Open this year has been noteworthy, with her recent loss to Iga Swiatek at Roland Garros.

On the men's side, Carlos Alcaraz's consecutive championship win at Wimbledon did not impact his ranking, as he maintained his position at No. 3. Jannik Sinner remains at the top spot, with Novak Djokovic holding onto No. 2 despite his defeat by Alcaraz in the final.

There were no changes in the rest of the ATP's top five, with Alexander Zverev at No. 4 and Daniil Medvedev at No. 5. Alex de Minaur's advancement to a career-high No. 6 was notable, although he had to withdraw from a match against Djokovic due to a hip injury.

In the WTA rankings, Iga Swiatek retained her No. 1 position despite a third-round exit at Wimbledon. Coco Gauff, Aryna Sabalenka, and Elena Rybakina maintained their spots in the top four, while Marketa Vondrousova dropped to No. 18 after her first-round defeat at Wimbledon.

Lastly, Ons Jabeur, the runner-up at Wimbledon in 2022 and 2023, slipped to No. 16 following her third-round exit in this year's tournament. The rankings reflect the recent performances and achievements of the players on the professional tennis circuit.
