French tennis star Lois Boisson, an unexpected semifinalist at the French Open<\/a>, surged 296 positions in the most recent WTA rankings, published on Monday, achieving a personal best of #65.<\/p>\n

Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff occupy the top two rankings following their finals appearance in Paris, where American Gauff triumphed over World #1 Sabalenka<\/a> in a three-set match.<\/p>\n

Boisson earned a wild card entry a year after surgery on her left knee, competing in her first Grand Slam while ranked 361st globally.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old defeated World #3 Jessica Pegula and the sixth-ranked Mirra Andreeva before bowing out to Gauff in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Iga Swiatek, the then-reigning three-time champion of the French Open<\/a>, drops two spots to seventh after her loss to Sabalenka in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

China’s Zheng Qinwen climbs to fifth place after reaching the quarterfinals in Paris, where she claimed Olympic Gold last year.<\/p>\n
