The first week of the 2025 French Open is complete, but what impact will the results in the women’s event so far have on the rankings?
Seven of the top 10 players in the WTA Rankings and 13 of the 32 seeds reached the last 16 at Roland Garros.
WTA Top 20 at start of French Open
1. Aryna Sabalenka – 10,683
2. Coco Gauff, United States – 6,863
3. Jessica Pegula, United States – 6,243
4. Jasmine Paolini, Italy – 5,865
5. Iga Swiatek, Poland – 5,838
6. Mirra Andreeva – 4,986
7. Zheng Qinwen, China – 4,368
8. Madison Keys, United States – 4,184
9. Emma Navarro, United States – 3,879
10. Paula Badosa, Spain – 3,684
11. Elena Rybakina, Kazakhstan – 3,548
12. Diana Shnaider – 3,108
13. Karolina Muchova, Czech Republic – 2,919

19. Donna Vekic, Croatia – 2,226
20. Ekaterina Alexandrova – 2,148
Aryna Sabalenka started the tournament with a huge lead at the top of the rankings, and she is even further ahead as things stand.
The Belarusian star, who is chasing a maiden Roland Garros crown, is defending quarter-final points from last year and has a strong chance of going further this time.
Jessica Pegula is not defending any points as she did not play the 2024 French Open and she is up to a projected new career-high ranking of world No 2.
Coco Gauff is 160 points behind Pegula in the Live WTA Rankings, but she could retain second spot if she outperforms her fellow American.
Jasmine Paolini still occupies the No 4 position she started the tournament in, but her fourth round exit has left the door open to her being leapfrogged.
Zheng Qinwen, Mirra Andreeva, Madison Keys, Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina all have the opportunity to overtake Paolini with a big result.
Former No 1 Swiatek is battling to avoid slipping further down the rankings as she is defending a mammoth 2,000 points as the reigning champion.
Jelena Ostapenko has replaced Donna Vekic in the top 20.
