The ATP tournament in Toronto ended with the victory of Jannik Sinner, who can already say that he is the Masters 1000 champion, after three attempts. The Italian rises in the Ranking and already has the best historical position of him, approaching those at the top.
We have a very fun battle ahead of us in the Cincinnati tournament, which begins this Monday, since the number 1 will be at stake between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic (although the Spanish has it very much in favor), as well as who ends up staying in fourth place that allows them to avoid the first two until, at least, the semifinals.
This is how the Top 10 of the ATP Ranking remains after the Toronto tournament.
Carlos Alcaraz: 9395 (+170)
Novak Djokovic: 8795
Daniil Medvedev: 6530 (+170)
Stefanos Tsitsipas: 5090
Holger Rune: 4790 (-35)
Jannik Sinner: 4725 (+910)
Casper Ruud: 4715 (-270)
Andrey Rublev: 4595
Taylor Fritz: 3605
Frances Tiafoe: 3050 (-35)
Best historical Ranking for Sinner and Holger Rune. Ruud’s two-place drop, who failed to defend last year’s semifinals, allows the Dane to move up to fifth place, edging dangerously close to Tsitsipas, who will defend last season’s final in Cincinnati this week. We will see if we do not have big changes in the Ranking, since the Greek is not going through his best moment, and behind him they are pushing very hard.
Jannik Sinner, as we said, achieves its best historical position in the classification and the Race is even number 4 thanks to its regularity in the Masters 1000 tournaments, where practically all of them have reached at least the semifinals. We’ll see if this victory gives him momentum for the next tournaments to come, with the US Open as a big goal.
Beyond the Top 10, it is worth mentioning the place achieved by Alex de Minaurfinalist in Toronto, who rises to 12th position, which is also his best Ranking, like Tommy Paul, semifinalist of the tournament, which is 13th. The two are just 500 points away from being able to get into the top 10 in the world. Seeing how confident they have been in recent months, we wouldn’t rule it out, since they are coming at a better pace than Tiafoe or Khachanov, for example.
Alexander Davidovich He also achieved his best Ranking by being 23rd, after reaching the semifinals in Toronto. The man from Malaga is barely 200 points away from entering the Top 20 for the first time and beginning to mentally believe that his ceiling is much higher than this.
