But it was enough to see Wozniacki go up 21 spots to World No.91. Paula Badosa too has returned to the top 100. She made up 20 spots to go to World No.93.

The victor was Diana Shnaider with the 20-year-old going up to a new career high of World No.30 and the only way is firmly up for the Russian prodigy. She defeated Donna Vekic in the final in three sets. Emma Raducanu and Leylah Fernandez also benefited this week. The former went up 33 spots to World No.135. She begins her Wimbledon campaign later on Monday against Ekaterina Alexandrova on Centre Court.
