Jannik Sinner lost a dramatic French Open final against Carlos Alcaraz, but he still managed to increase his lead over the Spaniard at the top of the ATP Rankings.
The world No 1 started the clay-court Grand Slam 1,530 points ahead of Alcaraz, but he finished the tournament with a 2,030-point advantage as he went further than in 2024 while the Spaniard managed to defend his points from the previous year.
Sinner reached the semi-final last year so he had 800 points to defend, but his runners-up finish (1,300) means he added 500 points to his tally and moved to 10,880 points in the rankings.
Alcaraz, meanwhile, stayed on 8,850 as he equalled last year’s total of 2,000 points.
Sinner started his 53rd consecutive week at No 1 in the ATP Rankings on Monday – which puts him 13th in the all-time list for most weeks at the top – and he is set to stay there until after Wimbledon.
The gap between Alcaraz and Zverev increased following the latter’s quarter-final exit while there is a new name in the top five as Jack Draper has climbed to a career-high No 4 after reaching the fourth round.
