Iga Swiatek's sensational title run at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships brought her closer to regaining the
WTA No. 1 spot, which is currently held by
Aryna Sabalenka.
After losing to Sabalenka in the 2025 French Open semifinal, Swiatek slipped to No. 8. She had not reached a final since winning the previous year's iteration at Roland Garros, and questions were being asked about whether her time at the top was over.
With that background, expectations of Swiatek for the grass-court season were even lower than usual. It was her least successful surface, and the Pole had spoken before about being uncomfortable on it.
Those doubts are officially over.
After losing the 2025 Bad Homburg Open final to Jessica Pegula the week before Wimbledon, she sealed a first title at SW19 with a stunning 6-0, 6-0 final win against
Amanda Anisimova.
Swiatek jumped from No. 8 to No. 4 before Wimbledon and has now gone up another spot to No. 3. After being No. 1 for so long, moving back closer to that spot must be relieving and satisfying.
However, Swatek's 6,813 ranking points remain a long way behind Aryna Sabalenka. The world No. 1 moved onto 12,420 points after losing in three sets in the semifinal to Anisimova at Wimbledon.
That was a brutal defeat for the Belarusian. Despite being a long way ahead at the top and reaching seven finals this season, Sabalenka has yet to win a Grand Slam in 2025, losing the Australian Open and French Open finals.
Mirra Andreeva rose two spots to No. 5, putting the 18-year-old at a career-high ranking. She lost in the Wimbledon quarterfinal 7-5, 7-6 to
Belinda Bencic after a hard-fought battle on Centre Court.
After her memorable Wimbledon final run, Anisimova is also at a career-high ranking of No. 7, five spots higher than before the tournament. Although the final did not go as she hoped, getting there was still a phenomenal achievement.
Jasmine Paolini suffered the steepest fall of the players inside the Top 10, dropping four positions to No. 9 after losing in the second round of Wimbledon.
The Italian split with Marc Lopez afterward.
Coco Gauff at No. 2,
Jessica Pegula at No. 4,
Qinwen Zheng at No. 6,
Madison Keys at No. 8, and
Paula Badosa at No. 10 are the other players in the Top 10. Gauff's points total of 7,669 means she is still a long way behind Sabalenka.
Emma Raducanu slipped five places to No. 45. The Briton's third-round match against Sabalenka was one of the best at this year's Wimbledon, although the 22-year-old
does not know if she will continue working with current coach Mark Petchey.
Naomi Osaka is back in the Top 50, climbing four spots to No. 49. The four-time Grand Slam winner reached the Wimbledon third round for the first time since 2018, but lost to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
Bencic moving to No. 20 after leaping 15 places,
Elena Rybakina dropping two positions to No. 13, and
Emma Navarro slipping out of the Top 10 at No. 11 are some of the changes to the WTA rankings.
