ROLAND GARROS – The wackiest Grand Slam in recent memory is over, and a lot of lives have been changed.
And it’s also two weeks of lower-level tournaments that have also gone on the grid.
Mirra Andreeva wins her first major at age 19, and moves up to No. 6. But the biggest rise is from Maja Chwalinska, who was No. 114 when she started in qualifying and … No. 21 at the end.
For the complete, updated and BUSY WTA Tour rankings for Monday, click here.
(It’s worth noting that the WTA issued a rankings report last Monday, even though it was in the middle of a major. Among those who jumped were Emma Navarro (No. 39 to No. 25), Petra Marcinko (from No. 76 to No. 51), Anhelina Kalinina (from No. 89 to No. 60), Zhang Shuai (from No. 73 to No. 61), and Peyton Stearns (from No. 92 to No. 78).
Among the drops were Maya Joint (from No. 34 to No. 52), Magda Linette (from No. 57 to No. 73) and Paula Badosa (from No. 103 to No. 119).
Mirra Andreeva (RUS): No. 8 ==============> No. 6 (Major titles have long been expected for the 19-year-old Russian. But her virtuoso turn Saturday in Paris, where she handled all the heavy expectations of being the favorite, the very windy conditions and a tricky opponent without batting an eye made this all the more impressive).
Marta Kostyuk (UKR): No. 15 ==============> No. 12 (It’s a career high for Kostyuk, who had an incredible run on the spring clay even if she fell well short against Andreeva in the semifinal).
Diana Shnaider (RUS): No. 23 ==============> No. 16 (It’s been a bumpy road the last year and a half for Shnaider, whose career high of No. 11 came almost exactly a year ago. She makes the semis in Paris, where she was bamboozled by Maja Chwalinska but came out of it with her head held high).
Anna Kalinskaya (RUS): No. 24 ==============> No. 20 (Another Chwalinska casualty, Kalinskaya made her way to the quarterfinals in Paris pretty quietly, given all the other drama going on. It’s easy to forget that she got to No. 11 in the world in Oct. 2024).
Maja Chwalinska (POL): No. 114 ==============> No. 21 (Not much more to say right now about this 24-year-old, who got through the qualifying and all the way to the Roland Garros final with her clever, guileful game. It’s an absolute life- and career-changer for her. You just hope that what comes next is nearly as positive. Because her bandwagon got a LOT bigger).
Alexandra Eala (PHI): No. 37 ==============> No. 33 (Eala was ousted in the first round of Roland Garros, but she rallied well and got right on the grass at Birmingham. And wins the WTA 125 tournament there. She’ll likely be seeded at Wimbledon, you would think).
Maria Sakkari (GRE): No. 49 ==============> No. 37 (Sakkari was the only one to take a set from Chwalinska before the final. So rough draw luck for her against a player with momentum, but she still moves back into the top 40).
McCartney Kessler (USA): No. 48 ==============> No. 39 (A quiet year for Kessler, who lost in the second round in Paris to Shnaider but still slides back into the top 40).
Oleksandra Oliynykova (UKR): No. 65 ==============> No. 51 (At 25, the outspoken Ukrainian is just thre points out of the top 50. We’ll always remember her losing to Shnaider – but still bowing and waving to the crowd and signing a ton of autographs on the way out).
Diane Parry (FRA): No. 92 ==============> No. 55 (Few – even the French – had many expectations for the talented player with the one-handed backhand. She defeated Amanda Anisimova in a match tiebreak, and she exceeded all those expectations in making the fourth round before losing to Chwalinska. She’s not far from her career high of 48).
Alina Korneeva (RUS): No. 117 ==============> No. 95 (The 18-year-old, who is younger than champion Andreeva, moves into the top 100 for the first time after qualifying and winning a round in Paris. Notably, she beat Andreeva, who called her “my best friend” in the 2023 Australian Open junior final, at age 15. But injuries have stalled her progress).
Wang Xiyu (CHN): No. 148 ==============> No. 100 (Wang is back in the top 100 after qualifying and making the fourth round. She was at No. 49 just before the 2023 Australian Open but lost a lot of time to injury, dropped down to No. 226 in February, and is crawling her way back up).
Jil Teichmann (SUI): No. 207 ==============> No. 170 (Now 28, the former No. 21 made the fourth round after using her protected ranking to get into the tournament. She was out from early September 2025 to late April).
Sloane Stephens (USA): No. 363 ==============> No. 321 (Stephens is doing her thing this year, and had no qualms playing the qualifying in Paris. She made it, but went out in the first round to Sara Bejlek. She quickly changed gears and pulled out the best fashion of all the TV pundits in her work for TNT).

Coco Gauff (USA): No. 4 ==============> No. 7 (The defending champion went out in the third round to Anastasia Potapova, in a tight battle. She continues to battle the technical demons that have everyone excited when she has a good day on serve, but down in the dumps when she reverts to the struggles that have dragged her down for a couple of years now).
Madison Keys (USA): No. 19 ==============> No. 26 (Keys took out Victoria Mboko in the third round, but fell to Shnaider in the next. A year ago, she made the quarterfinals. So that drops her out of the top 20).
Sara Bejlek (CZE): No. 35 ==============> No. 46 (Bejlek had a great breakthrough in Abu Dhabi this year in a shock run from the qualifying to the title, with her ranking rising to No. 41 from outside the top 100. But she missed some time to injury this spring. She came into Roland Garros having lost in the first round in four of her five previous tournaments. She qualified and won a round at Roland Garros last year AND won a WTA 125 title during the second week, but lost in the second round of the main draw this year
Daria Kasatkina (AUS): No. 53 ==============> No. 66 (The Russian-turned-Aussie took a mental-health break early in the year and is back to the battle. She looks very fit, actually. But making the third round wasn’t enough to defend the fourth-round points from a year ago).
Anna Bondar (HUN): No. 57 ==============> No. 75 (Bondar, 29, made the second round at Roland Garros last year AND made the final of a WTA 125 in Italy the second week, but went out in the first round in Paris in a match tiebreak to Elina Svitolina this year).
Veronika Kudermetova (RUS): No. 85 ==============> No. 104 (No, we don’t know where she is; she hasn’t played since last October. But this is the first time here ranking has fallen out of the top 100 since Jan. 2019).
Zheng Qinwen (CHN): No. 56 ==============> No. 122 (Zheng was Chwalinskaed in the first round, after making the semis in Rome and the quarters in Paris a year ago. She’s out of the top 100 and has a lot of work to do to get herself back on track. She can use a protected ranking to do it, though).
Paula Badosa (ESP): No. 119 ==============> No. 141 (Badosa fell JUST short of squeezing into the main draw at the tournament where she won the juniors in 2015. And she chose not to play the qualifying. She’s in ‘s-Hertogenbosch this week).
Lois Boisson (FRA): No. 43 ==============> No. 155 (A normal drop, when so many of your ranking points are tied up in one result – in Boisson’s case, that shock semifinal in Paris a year ago as a wild card. She has hardly played since, so there was no way to buffer that loss. A year ago, she played the Wimbledon qualifying and lost to Carson Branstine. This year, without all the noise, she’s in den Bosch, and playing doubles with Andreescu)
Robin Montgomery (USA): No. 339 ==============> No. 484 (Montgomery, who got into the top 100 exactly a year ago, lost in the second round of Roland Garros qualies, and then lost in the first round of a WTA 125 in Makarska. She was out from Wimbledon to the start of April. And it might take awhile to find her form again).
