Australian tennis star Ajla Tomljanovic is poised to make a triumphant return to the WTA’s top 100 rankings after a dominant performance at the WTA 125 tournament in Hong Kong. The 31-year-old’s victory has propelled her to a ranking of 86th, just two spots behind Australian No.1 Olivia Gadecki.
Tomljanovic’s journey back to the top 100 has been nothing short of remarkable. After a knee injury forced her to drop out of the top 500, she has worked tirelessly to regain her form and artistry on the court. Her hard work has paid off, with back-to-back title wins at the WTA 125 tournaments in Hong Kong and Florianópolis, Brazil, last November.
The Australian’s latest victory came against Danish seed Clara Tauson, whom she defeated 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the final. Tomljanovic’s impressive comeback proved to be the difference-maker in the match, as she rallied from a set down to claim the title.
With her ranking set to rise to 86th, Tomljanovic will now face a new challenge at the upcoming WTA 1000 event in Wuhan, China. The Australian will face Spanish world No.15 Paula Badosa in a highly anticipated match. With only two Australian women currently ranked in the top 100 – Tomljanovic and Olivia Gadecki – a strong performance in Wuhan will be crucial for the Australian’s continued rise up the rankings.
Tomljanovic’s resurgence is a welcome boost for Australian tennis, and fans will be eagerly awaiting her next move. With her confidence and form on the upswing, it’s clear that the 31-year-old has what it takes to make a lasting impact on the WTA Tour.
