ATP Rankings Report – As of May 18, 2026

–

A lot of action over the last two weeks.

But not many changes in the top 10 although as he drops 1,000 points, Alcaraz falls nearly 3,000 points behind Sinner atop the rankings.

There are a lot of new career highs. Not surprisingly, many of them are really good on the dirt. So this is the time of year to make back at bigger events, and earn more points.

WTA Rankings Report – As of May 18, 2026

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

Luciano Darderi (ITA): No. 20 ===========> No. 16
(Darderi might have gotten more attention online for his failure to see or pay attention to the little kid walking into the stadium with him. But his semifinal effort at home in Rome getes him to a new career best).

Casper Ruud (NOR): No. 25 ===========> No. 17
(Ruud is back in the top 20 after one week out, with his run to the final in Rome. Great effort).

Rafael Jodar (ESP): No. 34 ===========> No. 29
(Into the top 30 for the 19-year-old Spaniard, who will be seeded at Roland Garros. He made the quarters in Rom and his rise from nowhere continues).

Miomir Kecmanovic (SRB): No. 70 ===========> No. 47
(The title in Valencia, after losing in the second round in Romee, gets the Serb back into the top 50).

Juan Manuel Cerundolo (ARG): No. 72 ===========> No. 54 (A new career high for the younger Cerundolo, who lost in the first round on Rome and went to the high-level Challenger in Bordeaux – and won it. He’s just 35 points out of the top 50).

Hamad Medjedovic (SRB): No. 67 ===========> No. 56
(The Serb is at a career high aftre making the fourth round in Rome).

Thiago Agustin Tirante (ARG): No. 69 ===========> No. 58
(Another player at a career high, after making the fourth ound in Rome).

Martin Landaluce (ESP): No. 94 ===========> No. 67
(A career high for the 20-year-old, who got to the quarterfinals in Rome as a lucky loser).

Matteo Arnaldi (ITA): No. 106 ===========> No. 96
(With his third-round effort in Rome, looks like Arnaldi has spared himself the qualifying at Wimbledon).

Emilio Nava (USA): No. 108 ===========> No. 97
(Nava gets himself back into the top 100 by making the final at the Oeiras Challenger, after losing in the first round in Rome qualifying. His bump comes too late for Paris, as he has to play the qualifying there).

Jan Choinski (GBR): No. 122 ===========> No. 104
(The unheralded 29-year-old Brit hits a career high after losing in the qualifying in Rome, then going to Zagreb and winning the Challenger there).

Soonwoo Kwon (KOR): No. 252 ===========> No. 189
(The 28-year-old Korean, who lost time due to military service, is back and wins a Challenger in Wuxi. He’s back in the top 200).

Tristan Boyer (USA): No. 257 ===========> No. 201
(The American wins the Challenger in Tunis – too late to squeeze into the Roland Garros qualifying, though).

Lorenzo Musetti (ITA): No. 10 ===========> No. 11
(Musetti drops out of the top 10 for the first time since April, 2025. But he will miss Roland Garros, whre he was a semifinalist a. year ago. That’s 800 points down, although the way the rankings are in that area he might well not even drop out of the top 20).

Tommy Paul (USA): No. 18 ===========> No. 26
(This is as low as Paul has been in awhile – since the start of 2023. Paul was at No. 14 when he played the US Open, which was his final tournament of 2025. He drops his points from his semifinal effort a year ago, after losing in the third round in Rome. He’s in Hamburg this week trying to make it up).

Jack Draper (GBR): No. 50 ===========> No. 74
(Another drop for Draper, who is missing the entire clay-court season and hopes to be fit and ready for the grass).

Hubert Hurkacz (POL): No. 53 ===========> No. 78
(Hurkacz was beaten by Hanfmann in the first round in Rome, after making the quaerfinals a year ago. He’s defending finalist points in Geneva this week as well. On the plus side, he has almost nothing to defend after that, for the rest of the season).

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (FRA): No. 58 ===========> No. 80
(It’s been a tough sophomore year for the giant Frenchman, who lost in the second round in Rome and the quarterfinals in Bordeaux but was defending the title there).

Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE): No. 75 ===========> No. 82
(Tsitsipas also went out in the first round in Rome, and drops out of the top 80).

Matteo Berrettini (ITA): No. 100 ===========> No. 107
(Berrettini lost his opener in Rome, then lost in the second round of the Challenger in Valencia while trying to defend third-round points in Rome. That puts him in Wimbledon qualifying, along with a few other notables).
