WTA ranking Iga Swiatek continues her reign, the surprise Karolina Muchova gains 27 places

(Paris) The Polish Iga Swiatek, who retained her title at Roland-Garros on Saturday, continues to reign over the WTA, according to the ranking published on Monday which sees her surprising rival in the final, the Czech Karolina Muchova, jump 27 places , in 16^e position.

World No.1 for more than a year (April 2022), Swiatek, 22 and now four Grand Slam titles, is still ahead of Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka (2^e), beaten in the semi-finals on Parisian clay.

Third place, on the other hand, changes hands since it is now occupied by Elena Rybakina. Although package before its 3^e turn at Roland-Garros, the Kazakh doubles the American Jessica Pegula, quickly eliminated too, where she had reached the quarter-finals last year.

Pegula therefore had a large number of points to defend and even fell to 5^e place, behind the French Caroline Garcia (4^e+1), exit at 2^e turn at Roland-Garros, like last year.

Conversely, the Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia is reaping the benefits of her fine run up to the semi-finals, by joining the top 10 for the first time in his career (10^e+4).

But this gain in the standings is nothing compared to that of Karolina Muchova, revelation of the fortnight: the 26-year-old Czech player, close to the feat in the final against Swiatek, is propelled to 16^e place (+27), the best ranking of his career.
