Meanwhile, Alexander Zverev's triumph in Rome has elevated him to the No. 4 spot in the ATP rankings, ensuring him a Top 4 seed at Roland Garros. Nicolas Jarry's remarkable run to the final has propelled him to a career-high ranking of No. 16, making him the sixth-highest-ranked Chilean in ATP history.

Other notable ranking moves include Alejandro Tabilo's Top 30 debut after reaching the semifinals in Rome, stunning Novak Djokovic in the process. French teenager Arthur Fils also makes his Top 30 debut, while Luciano Darderi and Diana Shnaider break into the ATP and WTA Top 50, respectively.

The breakthroughs continue with four Top 100 debuts this week. Shang Juncheng becomes the first Chinese teenager to reach the ATP Top 100, while Moyuka Uchijima and Rebecca Sramkova make their WTA Top 100 debuts.

Swiatek's continued dominance and the impressive performances of Zverev, Jarry, and others set the stage for an exciting Roland Garros tournament, where the world's best players will battle for the coveted Grand Slam title.
