THIS WEEK: Unsurprisingly, Venus Williams is the big rating winner out of Wimbledon. She beat the three players who composed the SRI Rankings top 3 last week on the way to her first Grand Slam title. Venus is now only a good tournament win away from challenging Hingis and Davenport for the top place, and for the first time since Serena's U.S. Open win she is ahead of her sister.

Jelena Dokic made the semi-finals after the draw opened up in her quarter. No wins over seeds this time - she beat Hingis and Pierce last year - so she actually falls from 20 to 26 (WTA #30 -> #37). WTA #54 Nadejda Petrova now sits 17th by SRI after thrashing Elena Dementieva.
