Sinner Extends No. 1 Lead Over Alcaraz, Djokovic & Draper Rise In ATP Rankings

Jannik Sinner's heartbreaking defeat to Carlos Alcaraz in the 2025 Roland Garros final did not stop him from moving further ahead of his rival in the ATP rankings.

The world No. 1 looked destined for victory when he had three championship points at 5-3, 40-0 on Alcaraz's serve in the fourth set. Astonishingly, the Spaniard recovered, ultimately winning one of the most memorable matches ever on a deciding set tiebreak.

Alcaraz was defending 2,000 points at Roland Garros after winning his maiden title in Paris last year. That meant he remained on 8,850 and stopped himself from losing a huge number of points by retaining the title.

Sinner gained 500 points after improving on last year's semifinal showing, when he also lost to Alcaraz in five sets. That took his total to 10,880, giving him a more than 2,000-point lead over Alcaraz at No. 2.

Although that is a significant advantage, Sinner has a vast number of points to defend later in the season from winning the 2024 iterations of the US Open, ATP Finals, and two Masters 1000 events, presenting an opportunity for Alcaraz after Wimbledon.

Jack Draper reached a new career-high ranking of No. 4 in the latest rankings. The Briton had a decent run to the fourth round at Roland Garros, and gained 190 points since he was only defending 10 from last year.

Draper's superb start to 2025, including winning the Indian Wells Open and reaching the Madrid Open final, has been the primary instigator in his rise up the rankings. He has lots of points to defend in the coming months, though.

Novak Djokovic also moved up a spot to No. 5. The legendary 24-time Grand Slam champion reached the semifinals at Roland Garros, losing to Sinner 4-6, 5-7, 6-7 in a high-quality battle.

Djokovic was emotional after receiving incredible fan support on Court Philippe-Chatrier. His level in the French capital will make him confident of making another serious run for an eighth Wimbledon title in a few weeks.

Taylor Fritz paid the price for being upset in the opening round at Roland Garros by Daniel Altmaier. The 2024 US Open runner-up dropped three spots to No. 7, having been the No. 4 for several weeks.

Alexander Zverev at No. 3, Lorenzo Musetti at No. 6, Tommy Paul at No. 8, Holger Rune at No. 9, and Alex de Minaur at No. 10 make up the rest of the Top 10. Paul rose four positions after reaching the quarterfinals in Paris.

Casper Ruud plummeted eight spots to No. 14. The Norwegian had made two finals and a semifinal in his three previous appearances at Roland Garros before 2025, but fell to Nuno Borges in the second round this year.

Ben Shelton has equaled his career-high ranking of No. 12 after jumping one place. The huge-serving American had a decent fourth-round run at Roland Garros and pushed Alcaraz in a tight four-set battle at that stage.

Stefanos Tsitsipas is now at No. 26 after falling six more positions, a startling ranking for a man who was in the Top 10 for so long. His challenging period continued with a second-round French Open defeat to Matteo Gigante.

Alexander Bublik catapulting 19 spots to No. 43, Frances Tiafoe moving up three to No. 13, and Jakub Mensik reaching a new career-high ranking of No. 17 were some of the other changes to the ATP rankings.
