Iga Swiatek's sensational triumph at the 2022 French Open saw the youngster solidify her place atop the WTA world rankings. The list, however, has witnessed quite the shake-up following the conclusion of the claycourt Major.
Tournament success stories Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff both reached new career-highs. Pegula, who was sitting just outside the top 10 before the start of the tournament, climbed three spots and is now at No. 8 as the top-ranked American — one spot ahead of compatriot Danielle Collins.
Gauff, meanwhile, leapfrogged 10 spots to go up to No. 13. The American teenager impressed the tennis fraternity by reaching a maiden Grand Slam final at Roland Garros. While she could only manage to win only four games in the final against Swiatek, the youngster had plenty of positives to take away from the tournament.
