Serena climbs 153 spots in WTA rankings to No. 28

Serena Williams climbed 153 spots in the WTA rankings after her runner-up finish at Wimbledon, putting her back in the top 30.

American Williams is ranked 28th in the list published yesterday. At Wimbledon, the former No. 1 was playing only her fourth tournament after returning from childbirth, but still reached the final before losing to Angelique Kerber of Germany. Kerber climbed six spots to No. 4, with Romania’s Simona Halep holding onto the top ranking despite going out in the third round at the All England Club. South African Kevin Anderson climbed into the men’s top 5 for the first time after his run to the Wimbledon final put him in fifth place, while champion Novak Djokovic of Serbia jumped 11 spots to No. 10. Spaniard Rafael Nadal, who lost to Djokovic in the semifinals, remains No. 1.
