Alcaraz, 22, leads the standings with 12,050 points, ahead of Sinner (11,500) and the German Alexander Zverev (5,105), who remains on the lowest step of the podium.
The Serbian Novak Djokovic, 38, retains fourth place with 4,780 points, now followed by the Italian Lorenzo Musetti, who climbed two places and now has 4,105 points after reaching the final of the Hong Kong tournament, in which he lost to the Kazakh Alexander Bublik (3,065), who now closes the “top ten”.
In this way, it is the first time that Italy has two players simultaneously in the “top 5” of the men’s ranking, an unprecedented fact even before the start of the Open Era in 1973.
Likewise, Musetti became the fourth player from his country with the highest ranking, only surpassed by Sinner (the first Italian to reach the top of the rankings, where he was for 66 weeks); Nicola Pietrangeli (considered number 3 in 1959 and 1960); and Adriano Panatta, who reached fourth place.
The Australian Alex De Minaur, sixth with 4,080 points, the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime (3,990) and the Americans Ben Shelton (3,960) and Taylor Fritz (3,840) complete the men’s “top ten”.
In turn, Sabalenka accumulates 10,990 points in first place in the women’s ranking, where she has a total of 73 weeks after having assumed leadership in the first instance from September 11 to November 5, 2023.
Sabalenka, 27, extended her lead over Poland’s Iga Swiatek to 2,662 points (she won the 2026 United Cup and has 8,328 points) thanks to her second consecutive coronation in Brisbane.
The American Coco Gauff completes the podium of the women’s ranking with 6,423 points, with which she displaced her compatriot Amanda Anisimova (6,320), now fourth ahead of the Kazakh Elena Ribakina (5,850).
Jessica Pegula, also an American, remains sixth with 5,453 points, ahead of the Italian Jasmine Paolini (4,267) and the Russian youth Mirra Andreeva, eighth with 4,232 points.
The Swiss Belinda Bencic completes the women’s “top ten” with 3,512 points, as she accompanies the American Madison Keys, who is ninth with 4,003 points. (ANSA).
