Breaking the top 100 has always been hard and I would try to make a list of the past and current players who never reached the top 100, having a personal best between 101 and 110), the 101 is almost a disgusting place to have, I remember Bethanie Mattek and Stéphanie Dubois being close for a long long time before breaking...

From the past I do remember Tessa Price from South Africa at #101...

Arruabarrena Vecino reached top 100 after losing in 2nd round US Open to Jelena Jankovic. She gained 160 pts and climbed from 115 to 91

Rogowska is in pretty good form so she might finally get off the list soon ;)

Updated after the FO

10 current best ranked players with no prior top100 appearance are Danka Kovinic, Johanna Konta, Anna-Lena Friedsam, Claire Feuerstein, Jovana Jaksic, Saisai Zheng, Magda Linette, Victoria Duval, Olivia Rogowska and Veronica Cepede Royg.

6 of them with a career best between 101 and 110

A lot of players achieved or got back to their CHR the last 2 weeks :


Kristina Kucova (SVK) : #103
Olivia Rogowska (AUS) : #104
Anna-Lena Friedsam (GER) : #102
Shelby Rogers (USA) : #104
Danka Kovinic (MNE) : #106
Grace Min (USA) : #109
Ana Konjuh (CRO) #110

all of them are serious pretenders, Rogowska could have done it but failed in Washington, Grace Min is the closest and if she manages a good showing in Vancouver...

New entries after the US open with Nicole Gibbs, Saisai Zheng and Qiang Wang, all three really close to the top100.

Next 10 closest players to the #110 mark : Madison Brengle, Kateřina Siniaková, Veronica Cepede Royg, Carina Witthoeft, Misa Eguchi, Allie Kiick, Anett Kontaveit, Naomi Broady, Cagla Buyukakcay and Denisa Allertová.
