The long awaited Top-20 debut of Amanda Anisimova is here! The American became the lowest-ranked champion in Doha women’s singles history on Saturday, and two days later she makes her debut in the tour’s Top-20 at No.18 (+23).
Anismova, who defeated five Top-30 players in Doha before taking out 37th-ranked Jelena Ostapenko in the final, eclipses her previous career-high of No.21 by three spots.
That is Anisimova’s highest ranking since 2019, when she was a Roland-Garros semifinalist.
After taking a seven-month hiatus due to mental health reasons in 2023, Anisimova started 2024 at No.373 in the world.
Anisimova claimed her third career title on Saturday. Her vanquished foe, Jelena Ostapenko rises 11 spots back to No.27 in the rankings as a result of reaching her first WTA 1000 final in six years.
