Greek tennis superstar, Maria Sakkari, hit a new career high on Tuesday after she made her top three debut in the world tennis rankings.
As a runner-up in her Indian Wells finals match against Iga Swiatek, Sakkari collected 650 ranking points and rose to the ranking of World No.3 (from No.6).
This is the highest ranking ever achieved by a female Greek tennis player.
The result has seen a shake up of the latest WTA Rankings with Barbora Krejcikova and Aryna Sabalenka moving down to 4th and 5th place respectively.
Paula Badosa rose one spot to 5th, while Anett Kontaveit is down two to 7th.
Following her match against Sakkari, Swiatek climbed to World No.2, becoming the youngest woman to make her Top 2 debut since Caroline Wozniacki on March 22, 2010.
Australian tennis star, Ashleigh Barty, is still the World No.1.
