Iga Swiatek, three-time Roland-Garros champion, continues her reign, as Elena Rybakina moves up to world No 3, completing the triumvirate of the Big Three at the top of the rankings.

There are some big movers further down, though.

Avanesyan arrives

The 20-year-old Elina Avanesyan came through qualifying in Paris and took out 12th seed Belinda Bencic in the first round. She fell in the fourth round to eventual runner-up Karolina Muchova but rises 54 places in the rankings to world No 80 – a new career high.
