A hip injury derailed Ash Barty's Roland Garros campaign, forcing the world No.1 to retire during her second-round match in Paris. But the good news for the 25-year-old Australian is that this result has not impacted her ranking, with Barty spending her 80th non-consecutive week atop of the WTA Tour singles rankings.

Storm Sanders is at a new career-high this week, rising 13 places to world No.148 after qualifying at a Grand Slam tournament for the first time, while Ellen Perez jumps 14 spots after reaching the final qualifying round at Roland Garros.
