Rankings mover of the week: Nicole Gibbs (up)

Ex-Stanford star Nicole Gibbs, shown two weeks ago in the Sacramento
Challenger, jumped 25 spots to a career-high No. 142 in the world.

   Former Stanford star Nicole Gibbs rose 25 places to a career-high No. 142 in the world by winning last week's USTA Player Development Women's $50,000 Classic in Carson.
   Gibbs, 21, defeated Melanie Oudin 6-4, 6-4 for her fourth career ITF (minor-league) singles title. Oudin, 22, reached the U.S. Open quarterfinals in 2009, climbed to a career-high No. 31 in 2010 and won the U.S. Open mixed doubles title with fellow American Jack Sock in 2011.
  Gibbs practices at the USTA Training Center West, the site of the Carson tournament. She lives in Marina del Rey and grew up in Santa Monica, both near Carson in the Los Angeles area.
  Gibbs became the fifth woman in history -- and fourth from Stanford -- to win back-to-back NCAA singles titles (2012 and 2013). She also won the 2012 NCAA doubles crown with Mallory Burdette and led the Cardinal to the 2013 team title.
