France’s Lois Boisson, a surprising semi-finalist at the French Open, has surged 296 spots in the latest WTA rankings announced on Monday, reaching a career-best position 65.
Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff occupy the top two positions following their finals appearances in Paris, where American Gauff triumphed over world number one Sabalenka in a three-set match.
Boisson, granted a wildcard entry a year after having surgery on her left knee, competed in her first Grand Slam, ranked 361st in the world.
The 22-year-old defeated world number three Jessica Pegula and the sixth-ranked Mirra Andreeva before losing to Gauff in the semi-finals.
Iga Swiatek, the reigning three-time champion of the French Open, drops two places to seventh following her semi-final loss to Sabalenka.
China’s Zheng Qinwen ascends to fifth after reaching the quarter-finals in Paris, where she claimed Olympic gold the previous year.
