Coco Gauff's Madrid Open final loss means that Iga Swiatek will stay at No. 2 for at least two more weeks but the point gap between the American and Pole is now pretty narrow.

It was Świątek's worst loss on clay since 2019. She must now regroup for the Italian Open in Rome, where she is the defending champion.

Poland’s Iga Swiatek is reportedly considering taking an extended break after the French Open. The 23-year-old, who is regarded as one of the best players currently playing in women’s tennis in the singles category, is going through a difficult phase according to her own high standards.
