Jannik Sinner surpasses 13,000 ranking points for the first time and returns to No. 1

There’s a very big move at the top of the ATP rankings today, as Jannik Sinner rises from No. 2 back to No. 1 after winning his fourth straight Masters 1000 title in Monte Carlo.

He switches spots with the man he defeated for the title, Carlos Alcaraz, who dips from No. 1 to No. 2.

This is the Italian’s 67th career week at No. 1, passing the Spaniard’s 66 for 12th-most career weeks at the top spot in ATP rankings history, which dates back to 1973.

There’s even more good news for Sinner—he surpasses 13,000 ranking points for the first time in his career, going from 12,400 pre-Monte Carlo to 13,350 post-Monte Carlo.

He surpassed 10,000 and 11,000 points for the first time in 2024 and 12,000 points for the first time in 2025.

And there’s another first—between them, Sinner and Alcaraz now have more ranking points than the entire rest of the ATP Top 8 players combined, 26,590 to 26,030.

SINNER AND ALCARAZ'S CURRENT RANKING POINTS:

• No. 1 Sinner: 13,350 points
• No. 2 Alcaraz: 13,240 points
• Total: 26,590 points

REST OF ATP TOP 8'S CURRENT RANKING POINTS:

• No. 3 Zverev: 5,555 points
• No. 4 Djokovic: 4,710 points
• No. 5 Auger-Aliassime: 4,100 points
• No. 6 Shelton: 3,900 points
• No. 7 De Minaur: 3,895 points
• No. 8 Fritz: 3,870 points
• Total: 26,030 points

With Alcaraz only defending finals points in Barcelona this week and neither Sinner nor Alcaraz defending any points in Madrid, their dominance could grow in the coming weeks.

There are a few notable debuts further down the ATP rankings, most notably Valentin Vacherot rising from No. 23 to No. 17, his Top 20 debut, after reaching the semifinals in Monte Carlo. Ranked No. 204 just six months ago, he’s now the first Monegasque ever to break into the ATP Top 20.

Meanwhile, American Ethan Quinn makes his Top 50 debut, rising from No. 54 to No. 50, and Croatia’s Dino Prizmic makes his Top 100 debut, jumping from No. 106 to No. 87 after reaching the final of a Challenger in Monza, Italy.

There’s a notable Top 100 debut over on the WTA rankings this week, too, as Austrian teenager Lilli Tagger cracks the Top 100, rising from No. 117 to No. 97 after reaching the first WTA 500 quarterfinal of her career on home soil in Linz.

Tagger is now the second-highest-ranked woman with a one-handed backhand, after No. 63 Tatjana Maria. There are now three in the WTA Top 100, with Diane Parry at No. 100.
