French Open champion Iga Swiatek has cemented her place at the top of the women’s game with her victory at Roland Garros, reinforcing her position as world No 1 when the WTA released its new rankings on Monday.

The 23-year-old Pole beat Jasmine Paolini in a one-sided final on Saturday to claim a fourth French Open title which now puts her 3 707 points ahead of Coco Gauff, the woman she beat in the semifinals in Paris.

Apart from a few weeks in autumn 2023 when Aryna Sabalenka took over, Swiatek has been at the top of the rankings since April 2022, a total of 107 weeks.

Gauff’s performance, which improved in her quarterfinal in 2023, enabled her to leapfrog the Kazakh Aryna Sabalenka who slipped to third.

Paolini’s run to her first Grand Slam final was good enough to lift her eight places to a career-high seventh while 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva, who fell to the Italian in the semis, jumped 15 places from 38 to 23.
