After being still for two weeks, the WTA rankings have undergone quite a reshuffle following the 2017 French Open and the most amazing novelty is that we have two Latvians in the Top 20, as shock Roland Garros champion Jelena Ostapenko has climbed from No.47 to No.12, while Anastasija Sevastova retained her No.19 position.
Just how surprising and spectacular Ostapenko’s rise is illustrates the fact that before this year’s French Open her career prize money totaled $1,288,260, while her triumph at the claycourt Grand Slam earned her $2,351,097.
