MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

ATP Rankings Report – As of Aug. 4, 2025 (or it is Aug. 8?)

(Tennis Canada)

MONTREAL – A bit of a schizophrenic ATP rankings update, made necessary because of the extended Canadian event that went 12 days and finished up with a … Thursday night final.

Some players’ Montreal points from a year ago dropped this week; others will only have them drop the same day as Cincinnati – so, in 10 days. We’re efforting on details about that.

So this update is officially effective last Monday. And it’s pretty much everything else through last Sunday – plus the last four days of the National Bank Open.

Got that straight?

For the complete updated ATP Tour rankings,
officially dated Aug. 4, click here.

Ben Shelton (USA): No. 7 =============> No. 6 (A career high for the 22-year-old, who wins his first ATP 1000 title in Toronto after a gritty, slog of a week. He made that first 1000 victory speech count, too).

Karen Khachanov (RUS): No. 16 =============> No. 12 (Khachanov had a great week in Toronto, coming just short of his second career ATP 1000 title. And he’s only 45 points from jumping back into the top 10 again for the first time since Oct. 2019, even if he’s been a steady top-25 performer all along).

Alexei Popyrin (AUS): No. 26 =============> No. 19 (The awkward weeks this year mean that Popyrin, who was defending 1,000 points from winning Montreal last year, actually leaps into the top 20 and adds 200 points by only making the quarterfinals in Toronto. It’s a career high His points from Montreal last year only drop after Cincinnati which would mean that number tumbles to No. 45. This is going to confuse some people).

Learner Tien (USA): No. 61 =============> No. 55 (Tien made the fourth round in Toronto, losing to Alex Michelsen in the battle of SoCal).

Tristan Schoolkate (AUS): No. 103 =============> No. 97 (Schoolkate, 24, jumps into the top 100 with that win over Fonseca in Toronto. He lost to Arnaldi in the second round. But it’s a first trip to the top 100 for him. A year ago, he was at No. 202).

Yannick Hanfmann (GER): No. 150 =============> No. 132 (The 33-year-old moves up after winning the Hagen Challenger)

Zachary Svajda (USA): No. 148 =============> No. 133 (The 22-year-old American beats … Bernard Tomic to win the Lexington Challenger).

Nicolai Budkov Kjaer (DEN): No. 187 =============> No. 163 (Watch out, another 18-year-old is on the comeup after Budkov, the 2024 Wimbledon champ, wins the Astana Challenger and moves to a new career best)

Alexis Galarneau (CAN): No. 193 =============> No. 174 (A nice boost to Galarneau’s ranking after winning his first career match at the ATP level, a first-rounder in Toronto over Arthur Rinderknech. And he gave top-20 Italian Flavio Cobolli a good ride, too. Hopefully he can build on that).

Bernard Tomic (AUS): No. 211 =============> No. 184 (The ironman of the Challenger Tour makes the Lexington final – and jumps back into the top 200 for the first time since before the pandemic. Since he pretty much plays every week, this is a pretty crazy stat. Well, ironman in the sense that he hit the next top in Chicago and retired in the first set of his first round. But still).

Dan Martin (CAN): No. 560 =============> No. 452 (Martin lost in the first round in Toronto to Jaume Munar after winning a wild, one-match-wins-all qualifying round against Taro Daniel. But he adds 30 points because that is apparently what you get for losing in the first round of a 128 draw as a qualifier and, in this section of the rankings, that’s worth more than 100 spots. It’s a career high).

Facundo Bagnis (ARG): No. 689 =============> No. 454 (Bagnis, 35, ended up using his protected ranking in Toronto and ended up getting the retiring Vasek Pospisil – also 35 – in the first round after the one-round qualifying. And just that two wins moves him up a ton; they got him 50 ATP points).

Nicolas Arseneault (CAN): No. 628 =============> No. 491 (The 18-year-old from Ontario got a wild card into the Toronto tournament, and beat world No. 111 Valentin Royer in the first roun to break his ranking into the top 500 for the first time. He’s headed to the University of Kentucky along with his brother Mikael; so hopefully they find an NIL way to keep that $35K in prize money).

Novak Djokovic (SRB): No. 6 =============> No. 7 (Absent since Wimbledon, and taking a pass on Cincinnati as well, Djokovic finds Ben Shelton leaping over him into the No. 6 spot. Of course, that’s the least thing on his mind).

Flavio Cobolli (ITA): No. 17 =============> No. 22 (Cobolli made the fourth round in Toronto, losing to the eventual champion. That’s better than last year, but simultaneously, he drops all his points from making the Citi Open final a year ago and falls out of the top 20. On his list – unlike Popyrin’s, the points from Montreal last year have already dropped).

Sebastian Korda (USA): No. 33 =============> No. 45 (Korda is still struggling to get back, and drops 500 points from winning in D.C. last year. He was a semifinalist in Montreal a year ago, although like Popyrin those points don’t drop off until after Cincinnati.He’s not playing Cincinnati, either. That will drop him outside the top 80).

Joao Fonseca (BRA): No. 49 =============> No. 52 (The 18-year-old drops out of the top 50 after losing his R128 match in Toronto to Tristan Schoolkate – not a great loss for him. But he might jump back in quickly as he’s gotten through his first round in Cincinnati).
