Although no American finds a place in the top 5, Jessica Pegula and Danielle Collins are ranked No. 8 and No. 9 respectively.

While Pegula lost to eventual champion Iga Swiatek in the quarterfinals of the French Open, Collins, who had beaten Swiatek in the semifinals of the Australian Open, lost to fellow American Shelby Rogers in the second round of the claycourt Major.

Thanks to reaching her first Grand Slam final, Coco Gauff jumped 10 places to World No. 13.

Madison Keys, who lost her French Open fourth-round match against Veronika Kudermetova, is ranked 23rd, while Amanda Anisimova, who also made a fourth-round exit at Roland Garros, rounds out the top 25.

Barbora Krejcikova, who was ranked World No. 2, dropped 12 places after her first-round exit at the French Open. The 26-year-old Czech won the tournament last year.

Aryna Sabalenka, who lost in the final of the Libema Open last week, is ranked fifth - a position previously occupied by Maria Sakkari, who has dropped down a spot to World No. 6.

Paula Badosa and Ons Jabeur occupy the third and fourth rungs on the list, while Garbine Muguruza rounds out the top 10.

The latest rankings will not change after the third Grand Slam of the year following the WTA's decision to strip Wimbledon of its ranking points in response to the All England Lawn Tennis Club's decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players.
