MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

ATP Rankings Report – As of June 23, 2025

Whatever happens at the AELTC in the coming weeks, we’ll probably still remember the run Alexander Bublik had this week in Halle.

He won his second title there, beating players in the semis and finals that he’d never beaten in his career. And he squeezed into a seeded spot at the big event, much to the relief of many we’d imagine.

At Queen’s Club, Carlos Alcaraz did the RG-Queen’s shuttle in the fine tradition of his Spanish predecessor Rafael Nadal (with an extra week in between). And with no expectations coming in he showed what a grass player he is.

Jack Draper (GBR): No. 6 ==========> No. 4 (The top Brit dealt with a lot as he got to the Queen’s Club semifinals. He reportedly was struggling with tonsillitis. And he lost it with the steamy conditions and took out part of the advertising signage during that loss. That should cost him. But getting to the No. 4 seed – if you project WAY down the line – means he wouldn’t meet Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner at least the semifinals).

Daniil Medvedev (RUS): No. 11 ==========> No. 9 (Medvedev still hasn’t won a title since Rome in 2023. But he came close at Queen’s, ultimately going down to an opponent against whom he was 6-0, but who just would not be denied on this occasion. He’s back in the top 10).

Karen Khachanov (RUS): No. 22 ==========> No. 19 (Khachanov was anothere player Alexander Bublik had never beaten. Until this week. Still, he’s back in the top 20).

Jiri Lehecka (CZE): No. 30 ==========> No. 25 (Lehecka’s week at Queen’s Club would have been perfect except … he ran into Carlos Alcaraz in the final. He left nothing on the table, but it just wasn’t quite enough).

Denis Shapovalov (CAN): No. 31 ==========> No. 29 (Shapovalov almost made a great run in Halle. A good win over Ugo Humbert in the first round led a third-set heartbreaker to Flavio Cobolli in the second round).

Alexander Bublik (KAZ): No. 45 ==========> No. 30 (Bublik shatted a few glass ceilings in his career this past week in Halle. And it took him to his second Halle title, and a spot among the 32 Wimbledon seeds. He red-lined against quality opposition and continued the momentum he’d begun to build in a run to the Roland Garros quarterfinals).

Gabriel Diallo  (CAN): No. 44 ==========> No. 41 (Some players might have taken a week off after winning their first career ATP Tour title. But Diallo made the trip to Queen’s Club and won a round. And so, he’s at yet another career high as he turned it around in Mallorca this week).

Diallo and Fearnley teamed up for doubles at Roland Garros a few weeks ago.

Jacob Fearnley (GBR): No. 60 ==========> No. 51 (Close to the top 50 again for Fearnley, a 23-year-old who has shot up the rankings after starting his career late because he played NCAA tennis. He got to the quarterfinals, and he’s just 30 points out of the top 50).

The comeback continues for Cilic, who wins the Nottinghman Challenger (Photo: LTA)

Marin Cilic (CRO): No. 101 ==========> No. 85 (The 36-year-old posts up his best ranking since an absence of nearly years, and wins the Challenger in Nottingham. He squeezed directly into the main draw at Wimbledon. So it’s all roses and sunshine at the moment).

Filip Misolic (AUT): No. 142 ==========> No. 110 (Misolic, a 23-year-old Austrian who qualified at Roland Garros and crushed Shapovalov’s hopes with an 0-2 set comeback – and a bucket-list moment on Court Philippe-Chatrier with Novak Djokovic – hots another career high after winning the Challenger in Poznan, Poland).

Daniel Evans (GBR): No. 199 ==========> No. 170 (Evans, 35, said he wasn’t going to beg for a wild card from Wimbledon. But he got it anyway. He makes a nice move up by winning a round at Queen’s Club).

 

Gabriel Diallo (CAN) (No. 41)
Nishesh Basavareeddy (USA) (No. 99)
Tristan Schoolkate (AUS) (No. 102)
Filip Misolic (AUT) (No. 110)
Dalibor Svrcina (CZE) (No. 113)
Colton Smith (USA) (No. 135)
Justin Engel (GER) (No. 219)

 

Taylor Fritz (USA): No. 4 ==========> No. 5 (Fritz came to London from winning the tournament in Stuttgart, with victories over Auger-Aliassime and Zverev in the final two rounds. He didn’t show; he fulfilled his doubles commitment as well. But he was bamboozled out of the first round of singles by the wonder that is Corentin Moutet. He’s in Eastbourne this week – where he’s defending a title).

Tommy Paul (USA): No. 8 ==========> No. 13 (The American won Queen’s Club last year, but was unable to defend his title because of an injury. It’s hard to know how close to 100 per cent he’ll be for Wimbledon. As a result, he drops out of the top 10 after two weeks at No. 8. He’ll try to make some of that up at Eastbourne this week).

Paul won Queen’s Club a year ago, but couldn’t defend because of injury.

Grigor Dimitrov (BUL): No. 19 ==========> No. 21 (Dimitrov misses Queen’s Club and drops out of the top 20, as his injury-crossed season continues. He began the year in the top 10, and he has round-of-16 points to defend at Wimbledon. He was in Australia to start the year, but he retired in Bsirband, retired in the first round of the Australian Open, lost badly at Indian Wells when he was clearly not healthy. Then he had a good run to the semifinals in Miami. But he lost his opener in Rome, and retired in the first round of Roland Garros. And he hasn’t played since).

Sebastian Korda (USA): No. 26 ==========> No. 31 (Korda is out of commission for the grass season, and falls out of the top 30).

Hubert Hurkacz (POL): No. 29 ==========> No. 39 (Hurkacz is another who is just not healthy. And as he heads to Wimbledon, he also won’t be seeded. He didn’t play Halle, where he was a finalist a year ago. A year ago this week, he was ranked No. 7. But he injured his knee at Wimbledon, had surgery, came back probably too quickly, and hasn’t been he same since. He’s played just three matches since making the Geneva final and losing to Djokovic; one win, one loss and one walkover).

Alejandro Tabilo (CHI): No. 55 ==========> No. 60 (The Cana-Chilean has ruled himself out of the grass-court season because of an abdominal issue. He won the grass-court event in Mallorca a year ago; so those points will drop off next week, and third-round points from Wimbledon in three weeks. By the end of he, he will barely be hanging around in the top 100).

David Goffin (BEL): No. 50 ==========> No. 63 (Goffin hasn’t played since he retired in his first match in Madrid in April with a right foot injury. He drops points from winning the Ilkley Challenger a year ago. He is in the lineup for Wimbledon. At least so far).

Zhizhen Zhang (CHN): No. 88 ==========> No. 123 (Zhang’s career high of No. 31 came less than a year ago. But he’d dropped nearly 100 spots since then and has just a 4-9 won-loss record in 2025. He retired in his quarterfinal match in Marseille in February. and playede just Doha, Dubai and Indian Wells since then, losing in the first round in all three. He hasn’t played since. The official reason for that Marseille withdrawal was “fatigue”. The withdrawal from Wimbledon on Saturday was put down as an “ongoing shoulder injury”).

Christopher Eubanks (USA): No. 108 ==========> No. 131  (Eubanks is a long way from his career moment at Wimbledon a couple of years ago. He won the Mallorca warmup event and got to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon – a 1-2 punch that elevated his ranking from a more journeymanlike No. 77 to No. 32 (and eventually, a career-best No. 29). But it’s been a tough slog since then. He did squeeze into the main draw this year, though, before the ranking drop. So maybe he can recapture the magic).

Dominik Koepfer (GER): No. 338 ==========> No. 456 (The 31-year-old from Germany hasn’t played since a couple of Challengers in February, troubled by a knee injury, and he’s droppde a ton of points along the way. When he finished 2024 he was ranked No. 81).
