WTA ranking Iga Swiatek still sits at the top

(Paris) No change has taken place in the top 20 of the WTA published on Monday, a ranking still dominated by the Polish Iga Swiatek, who will make her debut at Roland-Garros, the second round of the Grand Slam of the season, on Tuesday.

Swiatek, who had to retire earlier this month in Rome due to a sore right thigh, will have a lot to defend in Paris, as she is the defending champion.

Behind her, Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka has already entered Porte d’Auteuil, dominating Sunday at 1^er round the Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk 6-3, 6-2.

The American Jessica Pegula completes the podium, while Caroline Garcia, the best French chance at Roland-Garros despite her doubts at the moment, remains 5^e.

Australian Open Defending champion Madison Keys advances to third round

(Melbourne) Defending champion Madison Keys beat Ashlyn Krueger 6-1, 7-5 in the second round of the Australian Open on Thursday.

Ninth seeded, Keys won the American duel in an hour and a quarter ahead of Krueger, 62^e in the world.

Keys erased a 5-2 deficit in the second set.

“I would say I started the match really well and Ashlyn was a little slower to get into the rhythm,” Keys said. I expected it to get tougher, and that’s what happened. »

Last year, Keys earned her first major title by beating Aryna Sabalenka in the final at Melbourne Park.

Sixth seed, American Jessica Pegula defeated her compatriot McCartney Kessler 6-0, 6-2, after dominating 6-1 in breaks.

Among the men, the Serbian Novak Djokovic, titled 10 times in Melbourne, will play against the Italian Francesco Maestrelli, 141^e in the world.
