New USA Career-High Rankings - June 16, 2014

Each week I will endeavor to bring you a list of USAmerican players who have reached a new career-high ranking. This list is not exhaustive but will cover most players in the Top 1000. 

New ATP Career-High Rankings - June 16, 2014 (previous high & date achieved in parentheses)
Mitchell Krueger 349 (356 - 6/9)
Evan King 436 (437 - 5/19)
Jared Donaldson 474 (546 - 6/9)
Noah Rubin 542 (543 - 6/9)
Devin McCarthy 738 (788 - 4/7)
Peter Kobelt 1126 (1894 - 1/6)

Donaldson got his boost from the Turkey Futures a week ago, at which he won his first title; Kobalt & McCarthy got theirs from twin semis at the Israel Futures event a week ago. Kobelt will get another huge boost from his final this past week in Israel, and McCarthy will get a nice one as well from his second semi in two weeks.

New WTA Career-High Rankings - June 16, 2014 (previous high & date achieved in parentheses)
Victoria Duval 115 (126 - 5/26)
Allie Kiick 141 (142 - 6/9)
Taylor Townsend 148 (150 - 6/9)
Nicole Gibbs 152 (159 - 6/9)
Denise Muresan 434 (467 - 6/9)
Danielle Lao 446 (475 - 6/9)
Christina Makarova 593 (606 - 11/4/13)
Anamika Bhargava 670 (679 - 6/9)
Ellie Halbauer 719 (772 - 6/9)
Karina Kristina Vyrlan 772 (777 - 3/17)
Josie Kuhlman 833 (837 - 6/9)
Tornado Alicia Black 875 (885 - 6/9)

El Paso (week of June 3) was moved later in the year from last year. Sanaz Marand, playing in Europe, saw her titlist points drop off, but a few players got a nice lift from their wins there, including Muresan, who had a QF, and Lao, Makarova, and 16-year-old Halbauer, each of whom got to the second round.  Gibbs will go even higher next week thanks to her semifinal at the $25K in Nottingham, which will be added next week.**

**Correction from the ever-on-point Colette Lewis of Zoo Tennis (@zootennis) who pointed out that Nottingham was a $50K and that those points were in fact added this week. I still think Nicole will go a bit higher next week as just about everyone near her in the rankings are at Wimbledon qualies this week, and so some people won't be able to defend points the collected last year at tour-level and ITF events.
