Muchová played her first Grand Slam final on the Paris clay. In the fight for the title, she was not enough for world number one Iga Šwiateková from Poland, who lost 2:6, 7:5 and 4:6 after almost three hours.
In the rankings, Muchová jumped 27 places and in 16th position is the third best Czech player. In front of her are only twelfth Barbora Krejčíková and ninth Petra Kvitová, both of whom improved by one place. Former world number one Karolína Plíšková was ranked 18th.
Thirty-six-year-old Djokovic returned to first place thanks to a 7:6, 6:3 and 7:5 final win over Norway's Casper Ruud. He dethroned the 20-year-old Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, whom he eliminated in the semi-finals.
In Paris, Djokovic claimed the 23rd Grand Slam triumph of his career and in the historical order broke away from the Spaniard Rafael Nadal, who did not defend the Roland Garros title due to lingering health problems.
Djokovic jumped from third place to first place, except Alcaraz also pushed Danillo Medvedeva behind him. The Russian tennis player was eliminated in the first round at the French Open on unpopular clay.
