How will top 10 of WTA rankings look after Italian Open 2025?

Paolini reaches her career best ranking of #4, Swiatek drops to #5.

Jasmine Paolini won her first title of the 2025 season, after defeating Coco Gauff in the Italian Open 2025 final, in straight sets. Paolini scripted history, as she became only third Italian to win on home soil, and the first ever to accomplish this milestone after 40 years.

Paolini’s remarkable run has triggered a major shake-up in the WTA rankings, propelling her to a career-high World No #4. Meanwhile, Coco Gauff, despite falling short in her second consecutive final, continues to cement her status as the World No #2. On the other hand, Jessica Pegula’s early exit widened the gap between her and Gauff to over 500 points.

The biggest headline is the sharp decline of Iga Swiatek, who has dropped to World No #5. The reigning Italian Open champion suffered a stunning third-round defeat in Rome to Danielle Collins, costing her 935 ranking points.

Now facing a significantly tougher draw in Paris, Swiatek heads into her title defense under pressure. Another early exit could see her tumble out of the WTA top 10 — a scenario the former World No #1 will be determined to avoid.

Meanwhile, world No #1 Aryna Sabalenka proved she is a human, as after four straight final appearances, the Belarusian fell to Qinwen Zheng in the quarter-finals of the Italian Open. Yet, Sabalenka made big gains, 435 points to be precise to further bolster her lead at the top.

Sabalenka is now nearly 4,000 points ahead of the next best — Gauff at #2, meaning her reign at the top is set to continue for a while.

The lower tier of the WTA rankings remains the same, with Mirra Andreeva and Madison Keys swapping positions at #6 and #7. A quarter-final appearance brought Diana Shnaider closer to the top-10, as the Russian is currently at #11.

Peyton Stearns made massive gains, as she advanced to the semi-finals in Rome, and as a result jumped 15 places, and is currently ranked #27.

With the second Grand Slam of the year just a week away, the WTA rankings are poised for major shifts, as established stars stumble and rising talents continue to emerge.
