Sinner Officially Takes Over As New No. 1 As Alcaraz Rises To No. 2 In Latest ATP Rankings
ATP
Following the conclusion of Roland Garros, the ATP rankings saw massive changes, with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz emerging as the biggest winners.
Sinner officially takes control of the men's rankings in a historic first for Italy with 9525 points. The 22-year-old is the new World No. 1, ending Novak Djokoivc's 428-week reign at the top. He was a semifinalist at the clay-court Grand Slam.
Djokovic's withdrawal from the French Open after the fourth round because of a knee injury has seen him slip to third in the fresh rankings, and he could face a further rankings slide if he doesn't play at Wimbledon.
Alcaraz, meanwhile, motors into the top two and above Djokovic with 8580 points. He is the 2024 Roland Garros champion after defeating Alexander Zverev in five sets in Sunday's final.
Zverev, for his part, added 580 points to his tally and has a cushion of 400 points on fifth-placed Daniil Medvedev. The other big change in the Top 10 is Alex de Minaur's rise to ninth after becoming the first Australian man in 20 years to reach the Roland Garros quarterfinals.

- IDK, it looks like to me that Raducanu should praise herself and her team for 'gaming the system' as in playing the points and ranking game. When you look at her season of wild cards, skipping tournaments (including the Paris Olympics!), retiring from losing matches and avoiding qualifying rounds, it seems like there was some plan to move up the ranks without actually playing a lot of tennis. And it worked! Congrats!RealityCheckers04-12-2024
