PARIS (AP) — Loïs Boisson, the revelation of the French Open, has rocketed 296 places up the WTA rankings after her fairy-tale run at Roland-Garros.
The Frenchwoman, who was 361st before making it to the semifinals at the clay-court Grand Slam last week, jumped to 65th in the latest edition of the rankings published Monday.

Coco Gauff defeated Boisson in the semifinals en route to her first French Open title. There was no change at the top of the rankings, with Aryna Sabalenka leading the pack ahead of Gauff and her fellow American Jessica Pegula.
Sabalenka lost to Gauff in the Roland-Garros final.
A wild-card entry in Paris, Boisson upset the third-seeded Pegula to reach the quarterfinals, then defeated sixth-ranked Mirra Andreeva before Gauff ended her unexpected run.
After retaining his title on Sunday in the longest ever final at Roland-Garros against top-ranked Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz remained in second spot in the men's ATP rankings behind his Italian rival.

Despite the loss, Sinner increased his lead to 2,030 points because Alcaraz, as the defending champion, was unable to add any points. Sinner gained 500 points by reaching the final, having lost in the semifinals last year.
Third-ranked Alexander Zverev dropped 900 points after his loss to Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals. Djokovic moved up to fifth place behind fourth-ranked Jack Draper.

Why tennis defaults and disqualifications for racket smashes need a change of perspective
Welcome back to the Monday Tennis Briefing, where will explain the stories behind the stories from the past week on court. This week, the tennis default rule reared its head, two players took very different approaches to playing on a deadline, and the French Open champions had mixed fortunes. Why is an outcome-based approach to bad behavior insufficient? The past week suggests that potential disqualifications will continue to be judged on the consequences of a player's actions, rather than the actions themselves. Advertisement A fortnight ago, world No. 7 Lorenzo Musetti escaped a default at the French Open. Musetti struck a ball out of frustration and accidentally hit a line judge near her shoulder. The line judge was unhurt and Musetti was allowed to continue with his quarterfinal against Frances Tiafoe, which he went on to win in four sets. The incident was reminiscent of when Novak Djokovic inadvertently struck a line judge and was defaulted from the 2020 U.S. Open — other than the fact that the person involved in the Musetti incident showed no signs of distress. Then, at last week's HSBC Championships at the Queen's Club in London, Jakub Menšík and Corentin Moutet escaped serious punishment for potentially disqualification-worthy offences. According to the ATP rule book, 'Players shall not violently, dangerously or with anger hit, kick or throw a tennis ball while on the grounds of the tournament site except in the reasonable pursuit of a point during a match (including warm-up). 'For purposes of this rule, abuse of balls is defined as intentionally or recklessly hitting a ball out of the enclosure of the court, hitting a ball dangerously or recklessly within the court or hitting a ball with disregard of the consequences.' Menšík, the 19-year-old world No. 17 from the Czech Republic, chucked his racket to the floor during the second set of his defeat to Roberto Bautista Agut. He threw it with little force, but it slipped out of his hand and spun off the grass, into the stands. There were no spectators in the first few rows, so nobody was hurt. The chair umpire gave Menšík a code violation warning, the lightest punishment available. Two warnings lead to a point penalty. Advertisement The following day, Moutet received the same punishment for whacking a ball into the stands during his defeat to Great Britain's Jacob Fearnley. Moutet, the world No 80, was defaulted at the Adelaide International three years ago for swearing at the umpire, but escaped the ultimate punishment on Thursday. Then on Saturday, Jack Draper received a warning for smashing an advertising board with his racket after being broken by Jiří Lehečka, but he had escaped one when he hit a ball in frustration. Whether or not a small yellow ball hit in anger hits a wall or someone's eye comes down to chance. At Wimbledon three years ago, Stefanos Tsitsipas leathered a ball into the crowd and missed a spectator by inches. Deciding whether or not to default players based on outcomes they cannot fully control leaves tennis in a situation where it will face legitimate accusations of inconsistency the next time an umpire's decision means that someone is defaulted for a similar or even lesser offence because someone has been hurt. At Roland Garros two years ago, doubles player Miyu Kato and her partner Aldila Sutjiadi were defaulted after Kato accidentally hit a ball kid in the neck when returning a ball to her — not even swatting it in frustration — because the ball kid was in tears. The best-worst handshake of the year? There have been a few spicy tennis handshakes this year, but Sunday's between Maria Sakkari and Yulia Putintseva was the most heated of all. After Sakkari had won their first-round encounter at the Bad Homburg Open in Germany 7-5, 7-6(6), she was put out by Putintseva's curt, no-look handshake at the net. Advertisement Putintseva, the world No. 34 from Kazakhstan who is no stranger to on-court confrontations, gave Sakkari a mock bow in response, prompting Sakkari to say 'just be like a human being'. Things quickly escalated and when Sakkari came over to Putintseva's side of the net, the Kazakh told her to 'go f—' herself. 'F—-ing hell, I'm what?' Sakkari said in response, before adding: 'Nobody likes you. When you shake hands, look at the other person in the eye.' This brought back memories of Andy Murray saying 'no one likes you on the tour, everyone hates you,' to the Czech player Lukáš Rosol in 2015, after he felt he had been barged by Rosol at a change of ends. Advertisement Sakkari was asked about the incident in her on-court interview and said: 'Let me leave it here and say that I have a respect (for) her as a player but that's it.' Putintseva, who was booed at last year's U.S. Open when she contemptuously ignored a ball girl who was passing her tennis balls, then posted a photo showing Sakkari avoiding eye contact during handshakes on her social media. Quick handshakes are not uncommon on the WTA Tour, but this level of aggravation between players most certainly is. How did Marketa Vondrousova make this comeback? There's one player no woman wants to see next to her name in the Wimbledon draw this week: Markéta Vondroušová. Advertisement One year ago, Vondroušová was preparing to defend her title at the All England Club, playing through pain in her left shoulder. She lost in the first round and had surgery shortly after, missing the rest of the 2024 season. A fortnight ago, Vondroušová shocked herself at Roland Garros in Paris, and not just by winning two matches and coming within a couple of games of beating the world No. 3, Jessica Pegula, in the third round. Most importantly, she played free of pain. Rarely has a player looked as high-spirited after a loss as the 25-year-old Czech after falling to Pegula in three sets. She was thrilled to have completed her matches and raring to get to the grass. She showed why in Berlin last week, beating Madison Keys, Diana Shnaider, Ons Jabeur, Aryna Sabalenka and finally Wang Xinyu to win the title. It's a run that tells everyone else on the WTA Tour to watch out — even though any analyst who hadn't already circled Vondroušová's entry in red would be skating on thin ice. She is a marvel on the organic surfaces, a finalist at Roland Garros as well as a champion at Wimbledon. She can spin the ball every which way. She's a lefty. She has a mean drop shot and a nasty, low, curling cross-court forehand that can break the sideline from virtually anywhere on the court. Advertisement She's also the world No. 72. She's got a decent chance of drawing a seed in the first round, and all 32 of them will be praying that she doesn't. When Vondroušová won it all in west London two years ago, she was the quirky unseeded player with the tattoos and the sphynx cat. She's got a dog now, too, and a game ready to do some damage at a place where she has done it before. How the French Open finalists fared on grass The four players who reached singles finals at Roland Garros had a mixed reacquaintance with grass. Sabalenka saved four match points against Elena Rybakina in the match before she fell to Vondroušová. Carlos Alcaraz went to Ibiza, toughed his way through a couple of rounds at Queen's and then found the extra gear to win the title, becoming the first man since Rafael Nadal in 2008 to win the French Open and the Wimbledon warmup in the same year. So, how to regard last week's losses for Coco Gauff and Jannik Sinner? One a French Open champion, the other a runner-up who came within a point of winning, and neither with a terrific Wimbledon resume. Advertisement Gauff spent a week on a media tour and hanging out with friends following her Paris win. Then she showed up in Germany and played like it, losing in straight sets to eventual Berlin finalist Wang on a day when her head and heart didn't seem to be there. It was reminiscent of Alcaraz's performance at Queen's last year, when he lost to Jack Draper in the second round. Grass is probably Gauff's worst surface, unless her serve is firing and can get her out of trouble. She's not playing a tournament this week, which means she will head into Wimbledon with just one match as preparation. Sinner lost in Halle to the eventual champion, Alexander Bublik. Sinner handled Bublik in Paris a couple of weeks ago, but the Kazakh is a nightmare on grass when he is on. Bublik occupies the Vondroušová role in the men's draw at Wimbledon — or would have done, had he not won the Halle title and earned himself a seeding. Sinner is a little more naturally suited to grass than Gauff, and he has made a semifinal at Wimbledon. But his first serve — key to his rise to the top of the sport and doubly so on grass — has lost some of its reliability in the past couple of weeks. Getting some reps in on that may be more helpful than a few extra competitive matches. Alcaraz spent most of the week at Queen's practicing his first delivery after almost going out of the tournament. That worked out pretty well. Shot of the week Jack Pinnington Jones will be looking to do some more of this with his Wimbledon wild card.

Carlos Alcaraz beats Jiří Lehečka to retain Queen's Club title and cement status as Wimbledon favorite
French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz successfully defended his Queen's Club title with an enthralling 7-5, 6-7(5), 6-2 win over Jiří Lehečka, cementing his status as the favorite for Wimbledon. The victory extends the Spaniard's winning streak to a career-best 18 matches and secures his fifth title of 2025. But Alcaraz didn't have it all his own way against a player that has already beaten him this season. After clinching the second-set tie break with a booming ace, Lehečka must have been feeling confident of a repeat of their meeting at the Qatar Open in February. However, Alcaraz soon showed why he is the defending Queen's and Wimbledon champion, finding another gear to break Lehečka early en route to a dominant third-set performance. It's that mental resilience that makes Alcaraz such a daunting opponent, as Jannik Sinner found out in the French Open final when the Spaniard came back from two sets down to clinch the title in the longest Roland Garros final in history. 'I came here with no expectations at all,' Alcaraz said in his on-court interview. 'I just came to play good tennis and try to get used to the grass as soon as possible.' The five-time grand slam champion is now 27-1 since a surprise defeat to David Goffin in the first round of the Miami Open in March, a run that has seen him claim four titles in three months. His only defeat in that time came to Holger Rune in the final of the Barcelona Open. While Alcaraz is rightly considered a clay-court specialist, he is proving to be just as adept on the faster grass and now boasts a 25-1 record on the surface since 2023, including the Queen's title last year and back-to-back Wimbledon triumphs. Alcaraz's attention now turns to Wimbledon, which begins on June 30. While Sinner and Novak Djokovic will likely be the biggest threat to the 22-year-old's crown, Alcaraz will be unquestionably the man to beat in SW19.
