WTA Rankings update after French Open: Champion Coco Gauff inches closer to runner-up & No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek falls out of top 5

The conclusion of the French Open 2025 has impacted this week's WTA rankings. Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka continue to occupy the top two slots. The American staged a comeback to beat her older rival in three sets in the final. She remains at a career-high rank of No. 2 with 8,083 points to her name.

Sabalenka maintains her stranglehold atop the rankings, though Gauff has gained on her with her victory in Paris. The Belarusian sits atop the leaderboard with 11,553 points. Jessica Pegula and Jasmine Paolini are up next at No. 3 and No. 4, respectively, with 6,483 and 4,805 points. The Italian remains a non-mover despite failing to defend her finalist points at the French Open.

Zheng Qinwen's quarterfinal finish at the clay court Major pushes her up by two spots to No. 5 this week with 4,668 points. Mirra Andreeva remains a non-mover at No. 6 with 4,636 points. Iga Swiatek's bid to capture her fourth successive French Open crown ended with a semifinal loss to Sabalenka.

As a result, Swiatek fell a couple of places to No. 7, bringing her points tally to 4,618 as well. She has dropped out of the top five for the first time since February 2022. Madison Keys (4,484 points), Paula Badosa (3,684 points), and Emma Navarro (3,649 points) round out the top 10.
