Zeynep Sönmez climbs up in WTA rankings
Turkish tennis player Zeynep Sönmez climbed to a career-high No. 48 in the WTA singles rankings announced on July 13, becoming the highest-ranked woman from Türkiye in history.
The 24-year-old’s rise into the top 50 came despite her elimination in the second round of Wimbledon.
Sönmez moves past previous record-holder Çağla Büyükakçay, who peaked at world No. 60 in 2016, to firmly establish herself as the vanguard of Turkish tennis on the global stage.
Czech Linda Noskova moved into the WTA Top 10 after winning her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon at the weekend.
