MOTW: Heather Watson
In 2015 Heather Watson got to a career high of thirty-eight in singles. That was the year she had Serena Williams on the ropes at Wimbledon. Although she had been to a singles final last year, she had not won a singles title since 2016. She fell out of the top hundred in 2018 in part due to injury and it seems like it has taken a long time to regain her form, but here she is back in the top fifty after winning her fourth career singles title in Acapulco over the weekend.
I hope she will build on this form and surpass her former career high singles ranking this season; she is too good a player to not be ranked higher. She obviously loves playing in Acapulco, because she won the doubles title there in 2018. Heather Watson gets the mover of the week honors because she had the highest positive improvement in the top hundred rankings.

SPECIAL MENTION: Ons Jabeur, the twenty-five-year old Tunisian continues to have an impressive 2020 season and she continues to climb up the rankings. She is now at a career high of 39. From drug suspension to British number one, Daniel Evans, is making amends by playing quality tennis and his reward is a career high ranking at #28.
