The Romanian jumps up two places from fifth, with only Angelique Kerber and Serena Williams now above her. World No 1 Williams still holds a substantial lead at the top of the rankings, despite pulling out of the Canadian tournament with a shoulder injury.
Keys' run to a first ever final in a hard-court competition sees her break back into the top 10 at a joint career-high ranking of ninth. Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova also moves in the right direction, the two-time major champion is now ranked tenth after her run to the quarter-finals last week.
