Elena Dementieva (13/15) - The two-time Grand Slam runner-up is slowly recapturing her old form.
Sania Mirza (27*/28) - A solid run at the US Open could boost the Indian star into the top 25.
Agnes Szavay (31*/41) - Her first appearance in the main draw of a tournament in the USA led her to the final - and a new career high on the rankings.
Gisela Dulko (42/51) - Dulko won her second title of the 2007 season on Saturday at Forest Hills.
Who’s Down
Daniela Hantuchova (11/10) - Daniela Hantuchova finally regained her spot in the top 10 only a few weeks ago, only to fall out again after New Haven.

Ms. Ethel,
The Sony Ericsson WTA Tour rankings take into account points from not only Grand Slams, but regular calendar events.
Even though Venus won Wimbledon, she still has not played enough tournaments in the past twelve months to boost her ranking back inside of the top 10. Yes, Bartoli has not won a major, but she has competed at more events (for more ranking points) than Venus.
Hope this helped explain why Venus is not technically back at the top of the game.
