Just to update this thread, with Olivia having had a bit of a break-through period

This year she's won the doubles WTA125 title in Charleston, and the WTA250 in Texas (both times playing with Olivia Gadecki)

Also a W75 in Portugal, playing with Beth

And she's now well inside the top-100

Currently WTA 78

A further update, since it has been a while and Liv continues to climb the rankings

Liv is now at a career high WR57 and back to GB #1 ahead of Heather and will climb further in the next rankings. With a lowest counter of 85 points (x2) she will drop a maximum of 41 points by the end of the year

Since teaming up with Tereza Mihalikova they have reached
Wimbledon - 3rd round
WTA1000 - QF Cincinnati
WTA500 - SF at Monterrey (and still to play)
WTA250 - F at Hertogenbosch, SF at Palermo, QF at Birmingham

 Matches Heather's CH 38 from 2015 which I am pretty sure is the best British women's doubles ranking this century

Heather's CH doubles ranking is 39 from 2019. You're quoting her CH singles ranking.

 Thanks, so an even more significant new CH for Olivia.

Just to add, Liv's current regular partner, Tereza Mihalikova also has a new CH this week of 41, just 92 points behind Liv and closing as their points align.

 Indeed - worthy of note (and TA - maybe worthy of putting into Liv's PoM narrative as well!?)

Following on from the above, Liv's new career high doubles ranking, now 29 on live rankings, may well be the highest ever for any British woman - for about 50 years or so anyway.

Among the current crop, only Heather comes close, and none of Baltacha, Keothavong, Durie, Barker, Wade - most of whom played very little doubles.

Liv at another new career high this week of 23 as a result of winning the Berlin W500 with her regular partner Tereza Mihalikova of Slovakia.The paired up just a year ago and have steadily risen through the rankings to a combined ranking of 59 - which gets them a seeding in the slams for the first time.

 They were 12th seeds at the French Open this year. Their new rankings could see them as high as 9th seeds at Wimbledon

 Computerised doubles rankings only started in 1984, but Jo Durie and Anne Hobbs were both Top 10. Virginia Wade  would have been close to the top, and Sue Barker had big doubles success too.
