Poland’s Iga Swiatek continued to reign on top of the WTA rankings heading into Roland-Garros, which kicked off in Paris on Sunday. The Pole began her 105th week as the world No 1 with 11,695 points – a lead of 3,557 points over second-ranked Aryna Sabalenka.

With several of the top women choosing to skip tournaments in the last week prior to the French Open, the only change in this week’s top 10 sees American Danielle Collins rise up two spots to No 10.

The 30-year-old reached the final in Strasbourg and returns to the top 10 for the first time since August 2022. Collins, who has announced that she will retire at the end of the season, was down to No 71 in February this year before going on a winning spree that saw her win Miami and Charleston back-to-back.

Madison Keys, the player who beat Collins in the Strasbourg final, climbs up four spots to No 12, her highest ranking since December 2023.

Below is the top 10 for the week of May 27, 2023:

1 Iga Swiatek: 11,695 points
2 Aryna Sabalenka: 8,138 points
3 Coco Gauff: 7,638 points
4 Elena Rybakina: 5,673 points
5 Jessica Pegula: 4,550 points

6 Marketa Vondrousova: 4,143 points
7 Maria Sakkari: 3,980 points
8 Qinwen Zheng: 3,945 points
9 Ons Jabeur: 3,748 points
10 Danielle Collins 3,472 points

Outside the top 10, Russia’s Liudmila Samsonova climbs two spots to No 17; Ukraine’s Anhelina Kalinina jumps eight spots to No 48; and Poland’s Magdalena Frech moves up five spots to return to the top 50 at No 49.

After reaching the final in Rabat, Egypt’s Mayar Sherif climbs 13 positions to No 53; Rabat champion Payton Stearns rises 19 spots to No 62; and 36-year-old Laura Siegemund, of Germany, rises seven spots to No 71 – her highest ranking since October 2021.
