Anna Kalinskaya: The important second week of WTA Tour's 2024 grass court swing ahead of the Wimbledon Championship ended with Jessica Pegula taking home the WTA 500 title and resulted in Anna Kalinskaya entering the top 20 in WTA Rankings. On Sunday, Pegula pulled off a double-duty winning performance, beating Coco Gauff in the semifinals before saving five match points in the final to edge Kalinskaya.

In Birmingham, a WTA 250-level event, Yulia Putintseva knocked off Ajla Tomljanovic to win the third title of her career.

Of the four finalists, Kalinskaya is the one who has reached a new milestone in this week's edition of the WTA Rankings. The 25-year-old climbed seven places from No.24 to No.17, entering the Top 20 for the first time. Kalinskaya is the fourth player to make her Top 20 debut this year, following Jasmine Paolini, Emma Navarro, and Marta Kostyuk.
