The 7 women with the most top 10 wins since 2022: Iga Swiatek way out in front
Iga Swiatek has increased her head-to-head advantage over top-10 players since the start of 2022 with her latest victory over Elena Rybakina.
The five-time Grand Slam winner brushed world No 7 Rybakina 6-2, 7-5 aside in the quarter-finals of the Qatar Open to reassert her dominance over top-10 players on the WTA Tour as she had lost her two most recent encounters against one of them.
World No 3 Coco Gauff defeated Swiatek in straight sets at the United Cup in January and at the WTA Finals last November, but she has since hit back with wins over Emma Navarro (8) and now Rybakina since her last defeat against the American.
The Pole is the only woman with more than 30 top-10 wins since January 2022 and she has nearly double the amount of top-10 victories as her closest challenger Aryna Sabalenka.
The 7 women with the most top 10 wins since the start of 2022:
7. Barbora Krejcikova – 11
Reigning Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova is yet to feature on the 2025 WTA Tour with her last tournament the 2024 WTA Finals in Riyadh where she claimed top-10 wins over Jessica Pegula (6) and Coco Gauff (3).
Since the start of 2022, Krejcikova has also beaten Swiatek twice when the Pole was at No 1.
In terms of career top-10 wins, the Czech is 15–20.
6. Elena Rybakina – 13
2022 Wimbledon champion Rybakina is 13-14 in top-10 matches since January 2022 with four of her wins coming against Swiatek although she has also lost four against the Pole.
The Kazakh has also beaten Aryna Sabalenka four times while the Belarusian has beaten her three times.
Rybakina is 20-23 against top-10 players since she made her debut in 2018.
= 4. Madison Keys – 14
At the start of 2025, Madison Keys had nine wins over top-10 players since the start of the 2022 season but she shot up the list thanks to her runs at Adelaide and the Australian Open.
During those title runs, Keys beat world No 9 Daria Kasatkina and world No 7 Pegula in Adelaide and Rybakina (No 7), Swiatek (No 2) and Sabalenka (No 1) in Australia.
The American is 14-15 against top-10 rivals during the period with three defeats coming against Sabalenka and three against Swiatek.
= 4. Jessica Pegula – 14
Pegula is 14-20 against top-10 players since January 2022 while her career record is 21–27.
The 2023 campaign was a productive one for the American against her top-10 rivals as she claimed nine wins, but she has managed only two wins since then although she did get the scalp of Swiatek at last year’s US Open.
Back in 2023, Pegula beat Swiatek and Gauff twice, and Sabalenka and Rybakina once.
