Like Serena, she will begin and end the season on grass at Wimbledon without playing tournaments in advance.
3. Caroline Wozniacki (DAN) 5970 points : Arrival hit in the ankle (after injuries to Charleston and Warsaw, where she was forced to retire), the Dane was finally able to take his place at Roland Garros.

Unlike last year, Jankovic should not play a tournament on grass before Wimbledon.

But a torn calf does not allow him to defend his chances against Francesca Schiavone. If her disease is calmed, she aligned the tournament before playing Eatsbourne Wimbledon, where she points to a semifinal to defend.
6. Francesca SCHIAVONE (ITA) 4990 points: By becoming the first Italian to win Roland Garros, it was logical that Schiavone enters the Top 10 for the first time in his career.

8. Agnieszka Radwanska (POL) 4010 points : Two games, no more. Since the beginning of the season on clay in Stuttgart, Agnieszka Radwanska has never won two straight games. At Roland Garros, it Yaroslava Shvedova that has stopped. This regularity in mediocrity does not disturb the classification despite some lost points from last year when she reached the fourth round.
9. Kim Clijsters (BEL) 3890 points: Kim Clijsters injured her wrist was fixed in Paris. Yet she wins a spot (it was 10th) through the meltdown Kuznetsova who loses 13 places 6th to 19th.
10. Flavia Pennetta (ITA) 3450 points: She was the No.1 Italian, she was the first to enter the top 10, but Francesca took everything in its path. The constancy of Pennetta, who lost little in the fourth round against Caroline Wozniacki, is rewarded as it comes in the top 10.
