The summer Slams ended up 1-1 between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, the two best players in the world.
And while it won’t go down as a classic, they can’t all be classic. Sinner’s adjustments since he lost that heartbreaker in Paris – and positive attitude about just keeping his nose to the grindstone, paid off.
Beyond that, there are plenty of new career highs – including two Canadians – and big jumps in the rankings

Taylor Fritz (USA): No. 5 ==========> No. 4 (Fritz will be disappointed at the four-set loss to Alcaraz. But he was within a few points of taking it the distance and has nothing to be anything but proud of as he ties his career high).
Andrey Rublev (RUS): No. 14 ==========> No. 10 (Rublev had a very good draw, and he took the first set from Alcaraz. So while he might not be thrilled with a fourth-round finish, he probably maximized and is back in the top 10).

Casper Ruud (NOR): No. 15 ==========> No. 13 (Ruud, who injured his knee at Roland Garros and is a fan of grass only when he’s on the golf course, didn’t play the grass-court season but still moved up two spots. He’s back this week during the short post-Wimbledon clay-court swing).
Karen Khachanov (RUS): No. 20 ==========> No. 17 (Khachanov goes about his business pretty quietly, for the most part. But he’s been remarkably consistent and after a very friendly draw, gets to the quarterfinals and loses to Fritz).

Flavio Cobolli (ITA): No. 24 ==========> No. 19 (Another Italian star is in the making as the handsome Cobolli – powerful for his relative lack of size and quick as lightning – impressed on his run to the quarterfinals).

Gabriel Diallo (CAN): No. 40 ==========> No. 38 (A tough draw for Diallo, who nevertheless pushed Fritz to five sets in the second round and moves to a career high).

Cameron Norrie (GBR): No. 61 ==========> No. 43 (After a mid-career lull, Norrie is back playing excellent tennis and and gets to the quarterfinals).
Joao Fonseca (BRA): No. 54 ==========> No. 48 (The 18-year-old’s first Wimbledon ends in the third round, but he come out of with a debut in the top 50).

Mattia Bellucci (ITA): No. 73 ==========> No. 63 (He notably beat Jiri Lehecka, a finalist at Queen’s Club. And it’s yet another Italian on the rise to a career high after Wimbledon).
Marin Cilic (CRO): No. 83 ==========> No. 65 (The resurgence of Cilic, one of the few active players beyond Djokovic, Sinner and Alcaraz to actually hold a Grand Slam title – albeit 11 years ago – is a lovely story. He came back from nearly two years of dealing with a knee issue, and was able to make a great run to the second week in front of his kids).

Kamil Majchrzak (POL): No. 109 ==========> No. 81 (Another great comeback story as Majchrzak has had to come back from a doping suspension and basically start from scratch again. He upset Berrettini in the first round to make the second week).
Marton Fucsovics (HUN): No. 105 ==========> No. 89 (Fucsovics came in as a lucky loser, after losing in the final round of qualifying as the catbird-seat No. 1 seed. He beat Gaël Monfils before losing to Shelton in the third round).

Nicolas Jarry (CHI): No. 143 ==========> No. 96 (Jarry, a former top-20 player, got through the qualifying and took care of Holger Rune in five sets in the first round. Then he took out Fonseca in the third round before a contentious five-settere against Norrie that led to some … chatter when it was over).

Adrian Mannarino (FRA): No. 123 ==========> No. 93 (The ageless veteran had to get through the qualifying this year, and had a friendly draw until he ran into Andrey Rublev in the third round. Nonplussed, he went straight to the Newport Challenger, downgraded from the ATP 250 it was when he won it, and made the final).
Nikoloz Basilashvili (GEO): No. 126 ==========> No. 112 (Basilashvili fell into the abyss. And has come back to his highest ranking since Feb. 2023. His upset of Lorenzo Musetti in the first round was noteworthy).


Liam Draxl (CAN): No. 147 ==========> No. 121 (Draxl went straight from losing in the Wimbledon qualifying to winning the Winnipeg Challenger, on hard court.)
August Holmgren (DEN): No. 192 ==========> No. 146 (A product of the US college system, the Dane had he week of his life in getting through the qualifying to make his first Grand Slam main draw, and taking No. 21 seed Tomas Machac to a fifth-set match tiebreak and into the top 150 for the first time).
Oliver Tarvet (GBR): No. 733 ==========> No. 402 (The Brit, who’s also out of the US college system, got through the qualifying to make his debut. He got a bucket-list moment against Alcaraz in the second round)

Ben Shelton (USA) (No. 9)
Flavio Cobolli (ITA) (No. 19)
Gabriel Diallo (CAN) (No. 38)
Joao Fonseca (BRA) (No. 48)
Mattia Bellucci (ITA) (No. 63)
Ethan Quinn (USA) (No. 82)
Filip Misolic (AUT) (No. 104)
Valentin Royer (FRA) (No. 107)
Liam Draxl (CAN) (No. 121)
Alexander Blockx (BEL) (No. 128)
August Holmgren (DEN) (No. 146)
Chris Rodesch (LUX) (No. 150)
Jack Pinnington Jones (GBR) (No. 190)
Rei Sakamoto (JPN) (No. 206)
Oliver Tarvet (GBR) (No. 402)
Darwin Blanch (USA) (No. 410)

Jack Draper (GBR): No. 4 ==========> No. 5 (Draper has a lot to contend with at Wimbledon – and always will – even though he has barely more experience on grass than most players and doesn’t necessarily have a game that will shine on the turf. But that’s how it’s going to be for his career; His four-set loss to Cilic in the second round was maybe a wakeup call for those who want everything from him).

Daniil Medvedev (RUS): No. 9 ==========> No. 14 (For no reason at all, other than he made the Halle final, it wouldn’t have been a shock to see Medvedev made a run at Wimbledon. Or not. In the end, it was “not” as he went out in the first round to Benjamin Bonzi. As it turns out, he would have had a sweet road to at least the second week. But you know what they say about hindsight. He’s out of the top 10 again).
Ugo Humbert (FRA): No. 18 ==========> No. 23 (Humbert got the short end of the draw stick as he drew veteran compatriot Gaël Monfils in the first round. A year ago, Humbert made the fourth round. He’s out of the top 20).


Denis Shapovalov (CAN): No. 30 ==========> No. 33 (Shapovalov was awful cranky as he went out in the first round to Argentine clay-counter Mariano Navone. He complained about the balls (on brand for him) and – interestingly – about the slowness of the court. Notwithstanding his hyperbole on the subject he was hardly the only player to note this over the fortnight. He’s already back in action in Los Cabos, Mexico this week).
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (FRA): No. 36 ==========> No. 45 (Tough first round for the big-serving Frenchman, as he got Fritz. In a match that was held over because of the curfew, he was a few ball threads away from pulling off the upset. In the end, he couldn’t get over the hump and drops because of the 216 points he earned last year).

Juncheng Shang (CHN): No. 80 ==========> No. 85 (Shang has been out since he retired in the first round of the Australian Open, and underwent foot surgery in March for a “minor injury”, and drops his points from making the second round at Wimbledon last year. He had entered Indian Wells but withdrew just before the draw, and had the surgery after that. The bulk of the points he’s defending will come a lttle later, although he has a semi from the now-defunct Atlanta tournament and a third round at the US Open).

Alejandro Tabilo (CHI): No. 84 ==========> No. 103 (The Chilean-Canadian had been out awhile with a left wrist injury suffered at Monte Carlo. before returning with low expectations at Roland Garros. But he’s missed the grass-court swing, including an attempt at defending his title on the grass in Mallorca and his third-round round points at Wimbledon. He has a Grade 3 tear of the rectus abdominus).
Zhizhen Zhang (CHN): No. 122 ==========> No. 140 (Zhang, like Shang, has been out a fair while. In his case, it’s a shoulder issue and he’s been out since Indian Wells).
Lucas Pouille (FRA): No. 136 ==========> No. 181 (Pouille ruptured his Achilles in the final of the Lille Challenger in February. And it’s too soon to tell if he’ll be able to come back. But he’s out for a year, and he’s been seen courtside working with his friend Arthur Rinderknech, and also doing TV analysis on FranceTV during Roland Garros).

Albert Ramos-Vinolas (ESP): No. 212 ==========> No. 293 (Ramos-Viñolas, 37, is in his final weeks as a pro after a career that saw him jump into the top 20. He’s still out there on the Challenger circuit, and drops his points from winning the Modena Challenger a year ago).
Emil Ruusuvuori (FIN): No. 317 ==========> No. 583 (Ruusuvuori has a protected ranking to work with. But the Finn took some time off to prioritize his mental health. He drops points from making the third round of Wimbledon a year ago. Ruusuvuori returned in Fbruary at the lower levels, but hasn’t played since he lost in the second round of the Zagreb Challenger in May).
