A trio of young contenders took significant steps forward in 2024.
Exceptional poise propelled Emma Navarro into the Top 10—the 23-year-old American’s ascent highlighted by runs to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon and the semifinals of the US Open.
Diana Shnaider, ranked 108th in late January, won four WTA singles titles. This 20-year-old lefthander has vaulted to No. 13.
“It’s definitely a long road to go, but I feel like I’m on the right way and I will push it forward,” Shnaider said this summer following a win over Coco Gauff.
