Alcaraz Cuts Sinner's Lead And Rises To No. 2 Spot In Latest ATP Rankings

Carlos Alcaraz rose to the World No. 2 position in the latest edition of the ATP Rankings thanks to his win at the 2025 Monte-Carlo Masters.

For years now, Alcaraz has been called one of the two best players in the world. Previously, Novak Djokovic was his rival for the top spot, and in recent months, it's been Jannik Sinner.

Despite many viewing the Spaniard that way, there was a player who was ranked ahead of him for many months thanks to his consistent performances. That player was Alexander Zverev, but the German now fell to the World No. 3 position.

The reason for that was Alcaraz's win in Monte-Carlo, but also Zverev's inconsistent results in recent months. On April 14th, 2025, Sinner leads the ATP Rankings with 9,930 points after losing 400 points for reaching the semi-finals at last year's Monte-Carlo masters.

Alcaraz, on the other hand, didn't play in the Principality last year, so he kept all 1,000 points that he earned for his win this year. His total increased to 7,720 points, which is 2,210 points behind Sinner.

Zverev now has 7,595 points after losing part of 100 points that he earned in Monte-Carlo last year. Despite falling to the World No. 3 position, the German has a comfortable lead over the closest rival.

Taylor Fritz is ranked fourth in the world, and the American player has been struggling with injuries recently. He withdrew from the upcoming Munich Open, which will make it difficult for him to add more points in the coming weeks. Fritz has 5,280 points.

Still, he has over a 1,000-point lead over the fifth Novak Djokovic. The Serbian player dropped 390 points after losing in his opening match in Monte-Carlo. His total now shows 4,120 points.

The World No. 6 position is occupied by Jack Draper, for whom it's also his career high. The British player has 3,870 points, and while he is close to Djokovic ahead, the players behind him are close as well.

Seventh Alex de Minaur has 3,535 points, and eighth Andrey Rublev has 3,490 points. Rounding out the Top 10 are Daniil Medvedev with 3,290 points and Casper Ruud with 3,215 points.

There was almost a new entrant in the Top 10. Lorenzo Musetti reached his career-high 11th place thanks to his run to the Monte-Carlo Masters final. With 3,200 points, the Italian is now only 15 points away from the Top 10.

Stefanos Tsitsipas, on the other hand, went the opposite way. After failing to defend his title in Monte-Carlo, the Greek player fell out of the Top 10. He dropped by eight positions to the World No. 16 spot with 2,645 points.

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who played in the semi-finals in Monte-Carlo, made one of the most significant moves. He is now ranked 30th in the world after moving up by 12 positions thanks to his run.
