Coco Gofu and Jessica Pegula It will be ranked 2nd and 3rd next week, not necessarily in that order.
Swiatek ranked 125 of them in the last 165 weeks of the top 2, but she has been looking up at Aryna Sabalenka since the end of last year’s U.S. Open.
This isn’t the end of the world for Swiatek, who won her first Grand Slam title at Roland-Garros and ranked 54th, but it’s a sign of her recent struggles.
“It’s not easy, for sure,” she said, who fell to 21-3 for life at Foro Italico after Danielle Collins fell 6-1, 7-5. “It’s certain that I’m doing something wrong. So I just need to regroup and change something. I’ve got some advice from the team. I’m going to try to do that.”
Asked if she felt differently when she arrived in Paris, she was a 35-2 life with four championships including the victory of the last three stalls, she said:
“It doesn’t matter what I get. It’s different every year, so… it’s OK.”
