Zeynep Sönmez rises to career-high No. 54 in WTA rankings
Turkish national tennis player Zeynep Sönmez climbed to a career-high world ranking of 54 in the latest Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) standings released on June 22.
The 24-year-old moved up seven places from last week’s rankings, improving on her previous career-best position and continuing her rise on the international circuit.
Sönmez secured the ranking boost after reaching the second round of the WTA 250 Nottingham Open in the U.K. During the tournament, she came through the qualifying rounds before defeating second-seeded Canadian Leylah Fernandez in straight sets in the main draw.
Although her run ended in the round of 16 against Switzerland’s Viktorija Golubic, the points she collected in Nottingham were enough to lift her to a new career-high ranking.
