Sinner, Alcaraz, De Minaur, Tsitsipas, Rune - Big changes in the ATP rankings!
The French Open at Roland-Garros brought some big changes to the ATP rankings published on Monday. The top three, unchanged for many weeks, are no longer the same on Monday. Jannik Sinner, semi-finalist in Paris, dislodges Djokovic from his world No. 1 ranking to become world No. 1 for the first time in his career (+1 place). Not only that, Djokovic also lost out to Alcaraz, who became the Italian's runner-up at Roland Garros (+1 place). As a result, the Serb now occupies the lowest step on the podium (3rd, -2 places).
There were a few other significant changes in the rankings. Firstly, Alex De Minaur capitalized on his excellent Paris tournament (quarter-finalist) to return to the world's top 10, and is now 9th (+2 places). On the other hand, Tsitsipas, who had a good Roland-Garros where he was beaten by Alcaraz in the quarter-finals, is suffering the consequences of De Minaur's and Dimitrov's good tournaments and finds himself ejected from the top. He is 11th on Monday (-2 places).
Finally, Félix Auger-Aliassime is back in the world's top 20 at 18th (+3 places). Holger Rune, on the other hand, continues his inexorable slide down the rankings, dropping a further two places this week to 15th.
On the French side, of course, Corentin Moutet is a huge source of satisfaction. The left-hander, eighth runner-up in Paris, has made a huge leap forward and is now closer to the world's top 50, in 56th place (+23 places).
