Ranking 2021
Iga Swiatek is the world’s No. 1 tennis player after defeating Naomi Osaka in the Miami Open final to complete the “Sunshine Double.”
Swiatek has reached the top spot for the first time in her career.
She climbed one spot from No. 2, filling the void left by Ash Barty’s retirement from professional tennis last month.
Barty held the top spot for more than two years.
“She’s an incredible person and a great tennis player,” Barty said of Swiatek’s ascension to No. 1.
“She fully deserves it.”
I hope she can take it and still be herself, do things her own way, and really pursue her career and dreams.”
Ranking before French Open
World No. 1 Iga Swiatek will face World No. 23 Coco Gauff in the women’s singles finals of the 2022 French Open.
A player outside the top-20 reaching the finals of a Major is unusual.
However, a player has had a deep run on a few occasions since the introduction of computerised rankings.
In 1975, the first computerised rankings in women’s tennis were introduced.
These rankings serve as a metric by which players can enter specific events based on their position on the list of rankings.
Chris Evert was the first player to be ranked first at the end of the season, and she spoke about it at the time.
Ranking today
On the WTA rankings, the No. 1 next to Iga Swiatek’s name hasn’t changed, but the gap between her and the rest of the field has.
The top-ranked Pole has more than doubled her lead over the rest of the field this week—she had a 2,150-point lead over then-No. 2 Barbora Krejcikova, 7,061 to 4,911 going into Roland Garros, but after winning her second Grand Slam title on the terre battue, she now has a 4,305-point lead over new No. 2 Anett Kontaveit, 8,631 to 4,326.
Divide 2,150 by two and add 5 points to get 4,305.
Her 8,631 ranking points are also 60 points higher than the combined totals of No. 2 Kontaveit and No. 3 Paula Badosa (8,571).
