WTA Ranking: Swiatek Remains Top, 2000 Points Ahead Of Second Place

Newly crowned WTA queen Iga Swiatek claimed her fifth tournament in a row in Rome on Sunday and will go into the French Open as the top seed after consolidating her place as world No 1 on Monday.

The 20-year-old Pole, who won the title at Roland Garros in 2020, is over 2,000 points ahead of defending French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova in the new WTA rankings.

Tunisia's Madrid Open champion Ons Jabeur, who lost to Swiatek in the Italian Open final, climbed to a career-high sixth.

Coco Gauff dropped three places to 18th while former number one Simona Halep returned to the top 20 at 19.

Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams remain out of the WTA top 20 rankings.
