LONDON — Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova returned to the WTA's top 10 for the first time in six months on Monday (Tuesday in Manila), and runner-up Jasmine Paolini rose to a career-best No. 5.

Krejcikova's run to her second Grand Slam title, capped by a 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 victory over Paolini on Saturday, allowed the 28-year-old player from the Czech Republic to jump 22 places to No. 10. Krejcikova had last been that high in the rankings the week of Jan. 8; in the past, she reached No. 2 in singles and No. 1 in doubles.
