on

Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff cemented their place as the World No. 1 and World No. 2 respectively in the post-French Open WTA rankings. Swiatek defended her title in Paris to stay at the top of the women’s ranking, while a semi-final run helped Gauff eclipse Aryna Sabalenka in the second spot.

Currently, Iga Swiatek has 11695 points to her name, 3707 points more than Coco Gauff with 7988 points. The Polish star worked wonders on the clay court with title wins at the Madrid Open, the Italian Open, and Roland Garros to take a sizeable lead into the grass season.Coco Gauff will need everything to go her way if she is to overtake Swiatek as the World No. 1 before the end of the season. The Wimbledon championships will play a big part in deciding whether Swiatek will continue her dominance as the world’s best-ranked women’s player.

Wimbledon will be the key in deciding the World No. 1 spot
Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek suffered disappointing losses at the Wimbledon in 2023. The American was ousted in the first round against Sofia Kenin while Iga Swiatek lost in the quarterfinal against Elina Svitolina, Now, with both players in form before the Wimbledon, Gauff and Swiatek will be keen to change their fortunes at SW19.

Coco Gauff has nothing to lose at Wimbledon this year as the American will only defend 10 points. A title win in London will help the 20-year-old gain 1990 points and could bring her closer to Swiatek’s points total in the rankings.Similarly, a quarter-final run last year means that Swiatek will defend only 430 points at Wimbledon. The Polish star will be the favorite to improve on her performances in London, but with grass not being her favored surface, Gauff will have a chance to close the gap on her Polish rival.
