Serena Williams' win at the 2015 French Open confirmed what everyone already knew: She's by far the best player in the game. It's not even close. Playing with flu-like symptoms narrowed the gap but fell short of leveling the playing field.

Williams is playing for more than the No. 1 ranking. She's shooting for greatest of all time.

Despite her ranking and legendary status, Williams arrived at Roland Garros on shaky ground. Going into the French Open, Maria Sharapova, Carla Suarez Navarro and Petra Kvitova had more momentum. 

However, those players exited Roland Garros earlier than expected. The quarterfinals featured Timea Bacsinsky, Alison Van Uytvanck, Elina Svitolina and Lucie Safarova.

Were these French Open results an anomaly, similar to Wimbledon in 2013? That was the year several top seeds went out early and Marion Bartoli emerged victorious. 

Or has there been a slight shift on the women's tour? Have veterans such as Safarova and Ana Ivanovic turned a corner? Perhaps feisty young players like Svitolina, Bacsinsky and Garbine Muguruza have found their footing on tour and are ready to step into the top 10.

One thing is clear, Williams' reign is secure. She's increased her points lead at No. 1. 

Williams is the undisputed No. 1 player, but who rounds out the top 10 after the French Open?
