With a win over Serena Williams in the 2016 French Open, Garbine Muguruza moves to a career-high No. 2 in the WTA Rankings (to be released Monday). She also joins a number of players inching closer to taking the top spot from Williams.

Muguruza defeated Williams 7-5, 6-4 on Saturday. Now the Spaniard goes from potential star to the newest "it girl" on the WTA Tour. But where does she fall in the latest Bleacher Report power rankings?

The newest Slam winner will discover that along with a shiny trophy, she also earned a target on her back. She might want to talk to Ana Ivanovic, Sam Stosur and Angelique Kerber about how much more difficult playing gets post winning a Slam. 

Meanwhile, Williams must regroup and figure out why she can no longer find her A-game when she needs it most. 

She'll retain her No. 1 ranking on the WTA tour. But what about here? Have three consecutive heart-breaking Slam losses finally knocked her out of the top spot?  

The following list ranks players based on their projected WTA ranking, where they are in this season's points race, a.k.a the Road to Singapore, and their prospects on grass, the next surface up on the tour. 

An injury keeps No. 8 Belinda Bencic off the list. Roberta Vinci, who will remain in the Top 10, also failed to make the cut here.

Vinci's first-round loss to Kateryna Bondarenko just underscores the struggles she's having—she's lost five of her last six matches.

Who else missed the cut? The following are B/R's Top 10 women in tennis after the French Open.
