Kerber jumps from No.4 to No.2, leapfrogging Garbiñe Muguruza and Agnieszka Radwanska, and closes to within 1,830 points of World No. 1 Serena Williams.

Williams holds the top spot for her 301st week, and has now held the No.1 ranking for 178 weeks consecutively. The all-time WTA record for consecutive weeks at No. 1 is held by Martina Navratilova, who once reigned atop the rankings for 186 weeks. Steffi Graf holds the record for most weeks at No. 1 with 377 weeks.

Navratilova is second on the all-time list with 332 weeks at No.1.

Kuznetsova climbs to No. 10 in the world, reaching that high for the first time since 2010.

Russian Elena Vesnina climbed from No.50 all the way to No.24, just shy of her career-high ranking of 21 in the world, based on her semifinal appearance at Wimbledon.

Kazakhstan’s Yaroslava Shvedova also jumped, rising from 96 to 49 thanks to a quarterfinal appearance at SW19.

Petra Kvitova and Madison Keys dropped out of the Top 10, while Spain’s Carla Suárez Navarro jumped from No.12 to No.9.

On the men’s side, Andy Murray pulled closer to Novak Djokovic in the Race to London standings, moving within just 815 points of the Serb in the 2016 rankings race, but he still remains 4845 points behind the World No.1 in the 52-week rankings.

The only changes in the ATP’s Top 10 were at the lower end, where Jo-Wilfried Tsonga moved from No.12 to No.10, while Tomas Berdych moved up from No.9 to No.8, flip-flopping with Austria’s Dominic Thiem.

Richard Gasquet dropped from No.10 to No.14.

Frenchman Lucas Pouille rose from No. 30 to No. 21 on the strength of his quarterfinal at Wimbledon, while Jiri Vesely rose 14 spots to claim a spot at No.50.

American Sam Querrey jumped from No.41 to No.29, while France’s Nicolas Mahut climbed from No. 51 to No. 42.

Djokovic has now held the ATP’s top ranking spot for 106 consecutive weeks, which is the fourth-longest streak of all-time.

Roger Federer (237), Jimmy Connors (160) and Ivan Lendl (157) own the three longest runs at No.1 in ATP history.

Djokovic has now spent 207 weeks at No.1, which is the fifth-highest total in history. Federer (302), Sampras (286), Lendl (270) and Connors (268), are the four players to have held it longer.
