MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

ATP Rankings Report – As of Nov. 3, 2025

There’s a new top dog as Jannik Sinner retakes the No. 1 spot in the rankings – at least for now – by winning the Paris Masters.

He didn’t play it a year ago, so those 1,000 points are free and clear and put him 250 points ahead of Carlos Alcaraz. 

All will be decided in Turin on that front.

Sinner won it last year year, so 1,500 points are to be defended. Alcaraz, conversely, has just 200 points up for renewal. So it’s highly likely that the Spaniard will be atop the heap at the end of the season.

Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime gets back to his career high, Alexander Bublik and Joao Fonseca hit career highs.

For the complete, updated ATP rankings for Monday, click here.

Jannik Sinner (ITA): No. 2 ===========> No. 1
(
Sinner, with his first Paris title, retakes the No. 1 spot for the first time since just before the US Open. He first hit that mark after the 2024 edition of Roland Garros. If people think it’s strange that he was able to do this, after missing three months serving his doping suspension earlier in the year, it’s worth noting that the rankings run on a 52-week rolling scale. And that he didn’t miss any Grand Slams during that suspension).

Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN): No. 10 ===========> No. 8
(With his finals effort in Paris, the top Canadian comes within two of his career best No. 6 – first reached in after the ATP Finals in 2022. He’s close to returning to Turin for the first time since then. But he has decided that the body needs to recover, and so he’s taking a pass on the Metz tournament this week and rolling the dice that either Lorenzo Musetti can’t make the final, or Novak Djokovic doesn’t play at all).

Alexander Bublik (KAZ): No. 16 ===========> No. 13
(Bublik ends his year at a career high – the top 10 and even a Turin qualification having been eliminated as possibilities with his semifinal loss to Auger-Aliassime in Paris. Still, a tremendous year – one that might leave him hungry for more, as he showed himself what he could accomplish by keeping the eye on the prize).

Joao Fonseca (BRA): No. 28 ===========> No. 24
(Fonseca made the third round in Paris, and rises to another career high).

Cameron Norrie (GBR): No. 31 ===========> No. 27
(Norrie has had a renaissance in this latter part of the season, and made the third round in Paris (beating Carlos Alcaraz on the way). He’s playing again this week, with a year-ending top-25 slot in reach).

Valentin Vacherot (MON): No. 40 ===========> No. 30
(A crazy month for the Monégasque, who ends up in the top 30 and goes from No. 122 to No. 30 in two months, to likely being seeded in Australia in January. A year ago, he was ranked No. 308).

Mariano Navone (ARG): No. 86 ===========> No. 74
(Navone, along with many of his fellow South Americans, are on the Challenger circuit down there to try to stockpile points ahead of having – egads – to return to the hard courts to start 2026. He wins the event in Lima, Peru).

Aleksandar Vukic (AUS): No. 103 ===========> No. 87
(The Aussie moves back into the top 100 after qualifying and winning a round in Paris. That puts him straight into the main draw at his home Slam, without having to rely on the grace of Tennis Australia).

Alexander Blockx (BEL): No. 120 ===========> No. 102
(Blockx, 20, wins the Bratislava Challenger and moves to a new career high – just 17 points out of the top 100. He’s playing Metz, and is looking to make it straight into the main draw of a Grand Slam without going through qualifying. He’s tried five times so far since the start of 2024, but hasn’t made it).

Rafael Jodar (ESP): No. 207 ===========> No. 166
(Already at a career high, the 19-year-old – last year’s US Open junior champ – wins the Charlottesville Challenger and moves to another career high).

Elias Ymer (SWE): No. 204 ===========> No. 189
(Perhaps inspired a little by a good performance at his home ATP event in Stockholm. Ymer jumps back into the top 200 with a semifinal effort at the Seoul Challenger). 

 

Alexander Bublik (KAZ) (No. 13)
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (ESP) (No. 14)
Joao Fonseca (BRA) (No. 24)
Valentin Vacherot (MON) (No. 30)
Eliot Spizziri (USA) (No. 96)
Alexander Blockx (BEL) (No. 102)
Rafael Jódar (ESP) (No. 166)
Gilles Arnaud Bailly (BEL) (No. 207)

Carlos Alcaraz (ESP): No. 1 ===========> No. 2
(Alcaraz drops just 90 points in his early defeat in Paris. But he now falls 250 points behind Jannik Sinner, who retakes the No. 1 spot. At least for now).

(Holger Rune/X)

Holger Rune (DEN): No. 12 ===========> No. 15
(Rune drops, as he starts his rehab after surgery for a ruptured Achilles. He’s already been spotted on court in a special chair hitting tennis balls – very reminiscent of Thomas Muster, back in the day, on the comeback from a gruesome knee injury).

Karen Khachanov (RUS): No. 14 ===========> No. 18
(Khachanov bowed out in the third round in Paris, a long way from his semifinal effort last year. He also bowed out early defending his Almaty title, and also lost his openers in Beijing, Shanghai and Vienna. So it wasn’t the end of season that he was hoping for).

Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE): No. 26 ===========> No. 34
(Certainly concerns about Tsitsipas, who made the quarterfinals in Paris last year but who hasn’t played since Davis Cup, the week afer the US Open. He did show up at the 6 Kings Slam exhibition – that’s a big cheque – but this week, with an ATP Tour event finally arriving in his homeland, he’s not even playing there).

Ugo Humbert (FRA): No. 22 ===========> No. 37
(Tough drop for the 27-year-old Frenchman, who made the Paris final a year ago but didn’t play this year afer retiring in the semifinal in Basel against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina with a lower back issue. He promised, when he won Metz in 2023, that if this was the last year for that event – which he’s played his entire career – he would play come what may. But he’s not playing).

Grigor Dimitrov (BUL): No. 38 ===========> No. 44
(That Dimitrov returned in Paris at all – even though it only lasted a match before he withdrew – was already great news. But he drops out of the top 40 and, hopefully, will be good to go at the start of 2026).

Alexei Popyrin (AUS): No. 47 ===========> No. 53
(Popyrin has had problems winning matches of late – he hasn’t won one since the US Open, and hasn’t won back-to-back matches since he went to Toronto to defend his 2024 Canadian title. He hit his career high of No. 19 after that event this year, but it’s bee downhill since. Popyrin went out in the first round in Athens in three sets to Sebastian Korda, which doesn’t help).

Adrian Mannarino (FRA): No. 60 ===========> No. 71
(Mannarino’s ranking ranged from No. 145 to No. 53 this year. And he ends it losing in the first round of qualifying in Paris, and in the first round of the main draw in Metz).

Jordan Thompson (AUS): No. 74 ===========> No. 106
(Thompson, who had such a great 2024 and reached his career No. 26 exactly a year ago, had a lot of injury issues this year even if he didn’t miss that much time, and drops out of the top 100, after losing the points from his 2024 Paris quarterfinal).

Nikoloz Basilashvili (GEO): No. 95 ===========> No. 108
(After finally getting himself back into the top 100 – an extended journey – the former No. 16 drops out as he drops the points from winning the Seoul Challenger a year ago. He withdrew this week as well and after all that work, may find himself still in the qualifying come Melbourne time).

Taro Daniel (JPN): No. 275 ===========> No. 324
(Another big drop for the former o. 58, as he loses i nthe second round of the Seoul Challenger after  making the final a year ago. He’s trying again in Taipei this week).

(Instagram)

Thanasi Kokkinakis (GRE): No. 302 ===========> No. 441
(Kokkinakis, injury plagued throughout his career, takes another big drop after the points from winning a Challenger in Sydney last year fall off. He hasn’t played since a brief appearance during the Australian summer, where he made the quarterfinals at his home event in Adelaide – but withdrew before facing Sebastian Korda – and had a notable battle against Jack Draper in the second round in Melbourne, losing in five sets. He had surgery at the end of February to try to repair a pec injury that he’s been trying to find a solution for the last few years. This week, he’s playing ambassador for the Melbourne Racing Club).
