Japan’s Naomi Osaka remains at No. 1, ahead of Australia’s Ashleigh Barty and Czech player Karolina Plíšková.

A week ago, Świątek climbed from No. 65 to No. 55 thanks to a strong performance in Toronto, where she was beaten 6-7, 4-6 by Osaka in the Round of 16 in the Rogers Cup.

Meanwhile, Poland’s Magda Linette has slipped one notch in the latest ranking to No. 80.
