Daria Saville has returned to the world’s top 60 in the latest WTA Tour women’s singles rankings. The 28-year-old rises 15 spots to world No.58 after a finals appearance in Granby last week. It was Saville’s fifth career singles final – and first since October 2017.

This effort propels Saville, a former world No.20 returning from a foot injury, into the world’s top 60 for the first time since May 2019.

Ajla Tomljanovic remains Australia’s top-ranked woman, improving two places to world No.46 in this week’s rankings.
