Maja Chwalińska surges in rankings after French Open run while Emma Raducanu advances in London

At the 2026 French Open, 19‑year‑old Mirra Andreeva clinched her first Grand Slam title by defeating Poland's Maja Chwalińska 6‑3, 6‑2, earning 2,000 points and taking the lead in the Race to Riyadh. Chwalińska's remarkable run to the final propelled her 117 places up to 14th in the world rankings, reshuffling the top of the list: Elena Rybakina fell from first to third, Iga Świątek slid to 11th, and Aryna Sabalenka held second despite a quarter‑final loss.

In London, the WTA 500 event saw Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter move into the next round. Raducanu dispatched Anna Blinkova 6‑0, 6‑3, while Boulter overcame Leylah Fernandez 3‑6, 7‑6(4), 7‑5. Other notable matches included Sorana Cîrstea, Iva Jović, Alexandra Eala and Marie Bouzková securing wins, and Donna Vekić advancing past Mika Stojsavljević.
