Keys, who could have reached a career-high ranking of 7 with the title, also climbs to seven in the Road to Singapore standings, while Halep jumps from 6 to 3.
On the strength of her quarterfinal appearance at Montreal, Russia’s Daria Kasatkina rises six spots to a career-high ranking of 27. The 19-year-old is now the No. 4 Russian behind Svetlana Kuznetsova, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Elena Vesnina.
Also rising to a career-high ranking was Great Britain’s Johanna Konta. The 25-year-old missed the chance to become the first woman from Great Britain to reach inside the Top 10 with her quarterfinal loss in Montreal to Kristina Kucova, but she still climbs one spot to a career-high No.13 in the rankings.
Kucova, the first qualifier to reach the semifinals at the Rogers Cup in nine years, makes her Top 100 debut this week, rising from 121 to 77.
On the men’s side Stan Wawrinka climbs over Rafael Nadal and back into the Top four on the strength of his semifinal appearance in Toronto (Nadal slips to No.5), while Gael Monfils jumps from 14 to 11 on the strength of his appearance in the last four at Toronto. The Frenchman also moves into No.8 in the Race to London standings. He would be the last to qualify for the ATP’s World Tour Finals if the season ended today.
Germany’s Alexander Zverev climbs one spot to a career-high ranking of 24, while Nick Kyrgios rises back to his career-high mark of No. 18.
