Sam Stosur’s exploits in Paris have seen the Australian significantly improve her WTA ranking.

The Queenslander jumped 10 places to world No.14 – her highest ranking since September 2013 – after storming into the French Open semifinals, where she lost to eventual champion Garbine Muguruza.

The performance has also pushed Stosur from 16th to No.9 on the Road to Singapore leaderboard – the top eight players qualify for the prestigious WTA Finals in Singapore.
