ATP Rankings: Jannik Sinner surpasses legend, Sebastian Korda +3, Alexei Popyrin +32, Matteo Arnaldi +17
Jannik Sinner has entered his 10th week as the world No 1, while Sebastian Korda, Matteo Arnaldi and Alexei Popyrin have all reached new career-high ATP Rankings positions with their Canadian Open success.
Sinner first climbed to the top of the rankings after the French Open in June and he now sits in 21st place on the list of ATP players with the most weeks at No 1.
The 22-year-old has overtaken two-time Grand Slam winner Marat Safin, who spent nine weeks on top, and he now has Boris Becker in his sights, with the German legend in 20th place with 12 weeks at No 1.
Sinner’s lead at the top of the ATP Rankings over world No 2 Novak Djokovic has shortened to 310 points after he dropped 800 points for his quarter-final exit in Montreal as he was the 2023 Canadian Open champion.
The Italian’s hold on the No 1 spot is secure, though, as Djokovic will lose 1000 points after the Cincinnati Masters since he will not defend the title he won last year.
