PARIS (AP) — Loïs Boisson has made headlines after her stunning performance at Roland-Garros, where she advanced to the semifinals despite entering the tournament ranked 361st. Following her exceptional run, the young French player surged an impressive 296 positions to achieve a ranking of 65th, as revealed in the latest Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) standings released on Monday.

WTA Rankings Update
Meanwhile, the top of the WTA rankings remains unchanged, with Aryna Sabalenka maintaining her number one position, followed by Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula, who was the third seed Boisson managed to defeat in her quarterfinal match.
Men’s Tennis Highlights
On the men’s side, Carlos Alcaraz, the reigning champion, defended his title in the longest final in French Open history against top seed Jannik Sinner. Despite this, he remains in second place in the ATP rankings. Although Sinner finished as the runner-up, he increased his lead in the rankings due to Alcaraz not being able to accumulate additional points from this year’s tournament. After reaching the final, Sinner added 500 points to his total, while Alcaraz’s status as the defending champion meant he retained his points from last year’s victory.
Ranking Changes
Additionally, Alexander Zverev‘s ranking took a hit as he fell 900 points after his quarterfinal exit against Novak Djokovic, who climbed to fifth place, overtaking fourth-ranked Jack Draper. This restructuring of the rankings highlights the dynamic shifts in the professional tennis landscape following one of the sport’s most prestigious tournaments.
