Sinner Retains No. 1, Nadal Nears Top 100 Return in Rankings

-

Jannik Sinner remains the top-ranked player in the world ahead of the Olympic Games.

Several ATP Tour-level tournaments took place, with top players seeking momentum before heading to Paris. The Hamburg Open was the highlight, where Alexander Zverev reached the final again but lost to Arthur Fils.

Zverev’s defeat means he couldn’t close much on Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. Meanwhile, Casper Ruud and Andrey Rublev didn’t do well in Bastad. Ruud moved up to eighth place because he lost fewer points than Rublev . Fans might feel excited about these changes in rankings.

Fils made his Top 20 debut after beating Zverev and winning his first ATP 500 title, moving up eight places to 20th. Zhizhen Zhang also hit a career-high ranking of 31st after reaching the quarterfinals in Hamburg.
