Carlos Alcaraz added 1,950 points. Defending champion Jannik Sinner dropped 700 points.
And just like that, US Open champion Alcaraz is back at No. 1.
He has an 800-point lead, which isn’t huge. And the two have left the rest of the Tour so far in their wake that the No. 3, Alexander Zverev, is nearly 5,000 points behind Sinner.
On the Canadian side, the great news is that Félix Auger-Aliassime is back in the top 15. And he’s … No. 10 in the race for Turin.

Carlos Alcaraz (ESP): No. 2 ============> No. 1 (Alcaraz didn’t drop a set en route to the US Open final. And he only dropped one to Sinner, in a masterful, controlled performance that brings him back to the top spot for the first time since just before the 2023 US Open).

Novak Djokovic (SRB): No. 7 ============> No. 4 (Djokovic has a similar number of tournaments on his 52-week ranking as the rest of the guys. But he only has 11 this year. And so him moving up with his semifinal effort and being No. 4 in the world is nothing short of impressive. His final Slam tally in 2025: four semifinals. The “New Two” are just too … TOO.”


Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN): No. 27 ============> No. 13 (The US Open was a mid-career reboot for Auger-Aliassime. He defeated two players who had had his number in Zverev and Rublev, grinded out an ugly one against de Minaur, and was impressive in a four-set loss to Sinner in the semis. And he cuts his ranking in half. And he’s getting married in two weeks. Life is good).
Jiri Lehecka (CZE): No. 21 ============> No. 16 (Lehecka had a very fortuitous draw until the quarterfinals (Coric, Etcheverry, Collignon, Mannarino). But Alcaraz ended that run. Still, a new career high).

Alexander Bublik (KAZ): No. 24 ============> No. 19 (Bublik is back in the top 20 after a good run in New York that included an epic win over Tommy Paul. He was absolutely shellacked by Sinner in the fourth round – a Bublikian-like effort against a guy he didn’t think he could beat, and so played that way).

Denis Shapovalov (CAN): No. 29 ============> No. 26 (Shapovalov was hoping for more against Sinner – and, indeed, he took the first set and had his chances. Still, he showed some good stuff and bumps his ranking up a little).

Jaume Munar (ESP): No. 44 ============> No. 37 (Munar, who took out Gabriel Diallo in the second round, is at a career high at age 28).
Benjamin Bonzi (FRA): No. 51 ============> No. 45 (Bonzi knocked off Medvedev in five sets in the first round, then knocked off Marcos Giron in five sets in the second. And so he didn’t have much left against countryman Arthur Rinderknech in the third round. Still, the 29-year-old is just a few spots away from his career high in ingles, and went over the $1 million mark in earnings for the year).

Adrian Mannarino (FRA): No. 77 ============> No. 55 (The 37-year-old knocked off Griekspoor, Thompson and Ben Shelton – on a retirement) to reach the fourth round in New York).
Arthur Rinderknech (FRA): No. 82 ============> No. 57 (Rinderknech upset Alejandro Davidovich Fokina en route to the fourth round, where he went out to Alcaraz).
Kamil Majchrzak (POL): No. 76 ============> No. 62 (Majchrzak is one of those players who had to serve a doping suspension but came back even stronger afterwards. The 29-year-old is at a new career high after making the third round on the wings of an extra-time five-set upset over No. 9 seed Karen Khachanov, even though he couldn’t finish a set in his next round. At the start of 2024, he had … no ranking. He also went viral in that “grown man grabs a ballcap from a kid” drama).
Jan-Lennard Struff (GER): No. 146 ============> No. 98 (Struff, 35, has crazy-good passages of play followed by tough periods, and his ranking jumps up and down. Jut two years ago he was at a career-best No. 21. After upsetting Holger Rune and Frances Tiafoe in New York, out of the qualifying no less, he’s back into the top 100).

Coleman Wong (HKG): No. 173 ============> No. 148 (The kid from Hong Kong and the Nadal Academy made waves as he qualified for his first Grand Slam tournament, not having gotten past the second round before. He upset Alexander Kovacevic and Adam Walton – both top 100 players – before taking Andrey Rublev to five sets in the third round and leaping into the top 150 for the first time).
Leandro Riedi (SUI): No. 435 ============> No. 167 (Riedi, who was out, is back and made the fourth round of of the qualifying to leap nearly 300 spots in the rankings. A year ago, he was at a career high No. 117. So he’s almost back. He was out from the US Open qualifying a year ago all the way into this May).
Lloyd Harris (RSA): No. 353 ============> No. 255 (Harris qualified and won a round at the US Open to move up 100 spots. He’s been playing on a protected ranking of No. 108 after being out from Wimbledon 2024 through to the Chennai Challenger last February).

Jiri Lehecka (CZE) (No. 16)
Jaume Munar (ESP) (No. 37)
Joao Fonseca (BRA) (No. 42)
Zizou Bergs (BEL) (No. 45)
Kamil Majchrzak (POL) (No. 62)
Valentin Royer (FRA) (No. 90)
Shintaro Mochizuki (JPN) (No. 104)
Ignacio Buse (PER) (No. 112)
Dan Martin (CAN) (No. 446)


Jannik Sinner (ITA): No. 1 ============> No. 2 (Sinner didn’t play his best in New York. But it was more than good enough to make the final, where he ran into a Carlos Alcaraz on a mission. Sinner drops out of the No. 1 spot for the first time since May, 2024. And while he didn’t miss a major with his brief doping suspension, he did miss three Masters 1000s. And this is where that absence shows a little bit).
Jack Draper (GBR): No. 5 ============> No. 7 (Draper is up there with the best below the New Two. But an arm injury that has compromised his 2025 season led him to withdraw from the US Open after his first-round match).

Daniil Medvedev (RUS): No. 13 ============> No. 18 (Medvedev went out to Benjamin Bonzi in the first round, and then parted ways witth longtime coach – and the man he says is the only one who both understands and deals with his … uniqueness – Gilles Cervara. His career is in a bit of a freefall and it’ll be fascinating to see what the next chapter brings as he approaches his 30th birthday. A year ago, he was ranked No. 5 and this is his first week out of the top 15 since Feb. 2019).
Arthur Fils (FRA): No. 20 ============> No. 23 (The 21-year-old played just once since giving Andrey Rublev a walkover in the third round of Roland Garros. That was in Toronto, where he lost his second match. But he couldn’t make the date in either Cincinnati or the US Open. A stress fracture in his back is the culprit. And that’s tricky).
Frances Tiafoe (USA): No. 17 ============> No. 29 (Put Tiafoe in that group of players sort of suffering with the mid-career doldrums. He lost in straight sets to Struff in the third round of his home “Slam”. And his ranking hasn’t been this low in more than a year).
Jordan Thompson (AUS): No. 58 ============> No. 77 (From a career high of No. 26 last November, Thompson has had an injury-marred season. He didn’t play between the Australian Open and Indian Wells. And since retiring in th fourth round of Wimbledon he has played just twice – losing both in CIncinnati and the US Open to 37-year-old Adrian Mannarino).

Juncheng Shang (CHN): No. 111 ============> No. 137 (Shang, at a career high No. 47 last October, drops further down as he’s not been able to stay healthy since. He’s played just five tournaments this year, and retired in three of them and is still looking for his first win since early January. He didn’t play from the Australian Open through to his return in Toronto. And he retired in the fouth set of his first-round match in New York against Mattia Bellucci. He had surgery on his right foot in March).
