Aryna Sabalenka was happy to play a couple of matches on grass in Berlin including a useful win against Rybakina. She stay way ahead at #1 nearly 4000 points ahead of Coco Gauff at #2. Otherwise very little change inside the top 10 although Paula Badosa looked disgruntled in retiring yet again and may be a doubt for Wimbledon.

Marketa Vondrousova was languishing down the rankings before the start of Berlin. However after her victory she jumps to #73 which will help her cause as she won;t need to use her protected ranking for anything but the big events now moving forwards. McCartney Kessler's win in Nottingham moves her into the seeded position for Wimbledon at #32 and is definitely a player who has played herself into form on grass. Elise Mertens is back to #24 after her recent win in Holland. Samsonova is back inside the top 20 at #19 after some good wins in Berlin. as well. The top players are yet to show their hand on grass. Such is the focus of the top 8 players in the world most will be hoping to peak for Wimbledon and then move back to the familiarity of hard courts:)

Marta Kostyuk has played two uninspiring matches on grass in consecutive weeks. Her form is worrying and she may not be worth following for a while.Yulia putitnseva is now outside the top 32 at #34 and is unlikely to play as well as last year given her wins have dried up. Danielle Collins is at #52 and also looks like she is on a testimonial year. Her win against Swiatek was impressive but she doesn't seem to have the match fitness to sustain a high standard of tennis match after match for an entire event. Anna Kalinskaya went from nearly winning Berlin last year to losing in the first round of qualifying! She failed to defend a lot of points and now lies at #40. She will be a dangerous opponent at Wimbledon for someone despite not having any significant form.
