 So with the final preparations for most of the play is done at the Rome Open We have some massive changes to the rankings and also the seedings locked in for the French Open coming up next week Let's go over see who won last week because it might surprise you who actually won Rome Just starting on the WTA, Alina Rabakina gets her first big clay-core trophy taken out Kalanina in the final 6-4-1 love retirement Unfortunately, Kalanina could not continue her amazing run And Rabakina got a nice boost in the rankings from it and on the men's side Danil Mevedev takes out Holger Runa 7575 to lift the biggest trophy off his clay-core career and also get a massive boost in the ranks Which is going to be tallying at the French Open So the two unlikely winners in Rabakina Mevedev winning on a slow clay court in Rome this week Let's go over look at some of the players that've gone up in the rankings this week that are outside the top 10 With Kalanina going up to a career high number 25 in the world 22 of spots higher than last week after making the biggest final of her career so far And that guarantees her a seed at the French Open So it was a great week for her. Also, Pearl Abedosa going up to number 29 in the world Six spots higher than last week after making the quarterfinals of Rome again Getting her in the seedings for the French Open next week and Ugo Ambert He goes up to number 38 in the world 12 spots higher than last week after winning a challenger event There was worth 175 points He's getting really close to being seeded and if a couple people withdraw He might actually get a seed after winning a challenger So three players there that got a real valuable boost this week and players that went down outside the top 10 Bianca Andrescu, she's gone down 10 spots number 41 in the world I have to failing to defend the points from last year that means she won't be seeded at the French Open Whereas before Rome, she would have been also a Nissan Mova going down 28 spots number 89 in the world Nothing not playing this week, but she's also not gonna be playing in the near future So it doesn't really matter too much for the French Open coming up where she's ranked and over on the ATP Alexander Zverev, he's dropped down 5 spots at number 27 in the world after dropping points from last year's Rome Open And he's in a really tricky spot because now he is vulnerable when the draw comes out of maybe playing Elkarez or Djokovic Potentially in a third round So it's gonna be a real tough draw for Zverev coming up with the French But a couple of players there that couldn't defend the points from last year have dropped down the ranks Let's have a look at the WTA rankings for this week and no change at the top with Friantek staying at number one, Zverev anchor at number two But that gap is closing very quickly and at the French Open things are gonna start to look really interesting Pagula's still at number three, but Rabakina by winning Rome She goes up two spots number four in the world a career high for her and will now avoid Friantek and Zverev anchor until the semi-finals So a huge boost in the rankings for her pushing Garcia down to number five and gov down to number six Jaber still at seven, Sakari at eight, Kazakina at nine and Kovitava still hanging on to that top ten spot for now Looking at the rest of the finals now for the ladies and no change at the top with Zverev anchor staying at one And Rabakina adding a thousand points still at number two, but not too far behind now Friantek at three, Pagula at four, Benchage at five, Rajikov is still at six, Kovitava at seven, Makutama Toba She goes up five spots into that top eight after a nice semi-final run in Rome this week So back-to-back semi-finals of big tournaments giving her a boost pushing Gov down to number nine OstaPenko also got a boost making the semi-finals of Rome up to number ten Which is five spots higher than last week pushing both Sakari and Azarenka out completely from the top ten So a few players there that have all but guaranteed their spot of the year in finals before the second grand slam of the year has even begun Let's go to the men's rankings now and we have a change at the top Carlos Elcaraz is number one in the world again after Djokovic failed to defend the points from Rome last year But Danu Mevedev he has also jumped up the rankings number two So Djokovic going from number one to number three in the span of a week due to the Rome loss that he took in the quarter-final So big changes to the rankings ahead of the French open with Kasparov still at number four So that top four seeds It's gonna be very interesting to see when the draw comes out because of course Djokovic being number three could draw Elcaraz in the semi-finals of the French So the draw is gonna be crucial for all those guys since you have stays number five We've got Runa going up one spot to number six career high for him pushing down Rube left number seven after of course Runa Making the final of Rome sinner stays at eight fritz at nine and Oshelia seen rounds at the top ten for this week So some huge changes to the rankings again this week over to the ATP finals race now And things are starting to take some big shape over there too with Mevedev going up to the top spot pushing Elcaraz down to number two after winning another trophy He's now won five tournaments this year and adding a thousand points.
