ATP Rankings: Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz survive, Alex de Minaur No 6, Lorenzo Musetti top 20, Chris Eubanks -66
It is a case of “as you were” for the top five in the ATP Rankings after Wimbledon with Jannik Sinner leading the way while Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz held off their closest rivals.
Sinner lost in the quarter-final against Daniil Medvedev, but he was always assured of remaining at No 1 after Wimbledon as Djokovic and Alcaraz had plenty of points to defend.
In fact, Djokovic and Alcaraz were in danger of slipping further behind Sinner as they were the finalists last year, but they clung on as history somehow managed to repeat itself as the pair defended their points successfully with the Spaniard defeating Djokovic in Sunday’s final to win back-to-back trophies at the grass-court Grand Slam.
Sinner, who started his sixth week at No 1 on Monday, sits on 9,570 points and he has a healthy 1,110-point advantage over Djokovic with Alcaraz another 330 points adrift in third place.
Medvedev and Alexander Zverev complete the top five while there is a new man at No 6 as Alex de Minaur moved up three places to a career-high No 6 after reaching the quarter-final. The Australian’s run was ended by injury as he had to withdraw from his match against Djokovic due to a serious hip problem.
Hubert Hurkacz, Andrey Rublev, Casper Ruud and Grigor Dimitrov complete the top 10.
Lorenzo Musetti was the big mover inside the top 20 as the Italian’s run to the quarter-final earned him a nine-place jump to No 16 – one off his career-best.
There are some career-highs in the rest of the top 100 with Jack Draper up two places to No 26, Arthur Fils up six to No 28, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard rising 14 spots to No 44, Sumit Nagal is up five to No 68 and Zizou Bergs jumps nine places to No 73.

Roberto Bautista Agut was one of the biggest movers as he is up 37 places to No 75 after reaching the third round at Wimbledon and Francisco Comesana jumped 22 places to No 100.
The biggest dropper of the week was Christopher Eubanks as last year’s quarter-finalist lost in the first round this time around and slipped 66 spots to No 128.
Roman Safiullin is down 23 places to No 73, Matteo Berrettini drops 23 places to No 82 while Andy Murray’s slide continued as he is down 10 spots to No 123 after he was unable to play in the singles due to injury.
