Paris, France – Four players have a chance to beat No. 1 Naomi Osaka at the top of the WTA after Roland Garros: No.2 Karolina Pliskova, No.4 Kiki Bertens, No.5 Angélique Kerber and No.6 Petra Kvitova.

To do this, everyone will have to do something that he has never done: participate in the final of Roland Garros.

Osaka took top spot after winning her second consecutive major title in January at the Australian Open, putting an end to Simona Halep's 48-week reign. Although ranked No. 3, Halep is the reigning champion in Paris and therefore can not add points to her points total over the last fifteen days.

Here are the scenarios n ° 1 in Paris:

No.1 Naomi Osaka

Osaka can win the # 1 ranking by qualifying for the final. Osaka's ambition is to become the first woman to win three consecutive major tournaments since Serena Williams in 2015.

Thanks to the Open de France, Osaka will have occupied the first place for 19 weeks. The 21-year-old has had a strong season on clay, qualifying for the semi-finals in Stuttgart and the consecutive quarter-finals in Madrid and Rome. She has not yet passed the third round in Paris.
