Olivia Gadecki soars to a new career-high of world No.88 in the latest WTA Tour singles rankings.
The 22-year-old from the Gold Coast jumps up a massive 64 spots following her breakout run at Guadalajara. Gadecki beat a string of higher-ranked opponents, including world No.11 Danielle Collins, to reach her maiden tour-level.
