Italian Jannik Sinner, crowned this weekend at the Miami Masters 1000, has taken over the second place in the ATP ranking published on Monday ahead of the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz. At 22 years old, Sinner achieved the best ranking of his young career, marked by a triumph at the Australian Open in January.
The Italian, who has three titles this season, including the ATP 500 in Rotterdam, left no chance for Grigor Dimitrov on Sunday in Florida (6-3, 6-1). The ranking is still dominated by the Serbian Novak Djokovic, 36, who was absent in Miami. Alcaraz, on the other hand, drops out of the top two for the first time since August 2022. In the women’s rankings, Tunisian Ons Jabeur remains 6th in the world for the 22nd consecutive week. Jabeur will start competing in the WTA 500 tournament in Charleston, USA, starting Wednesday, which began on Monday.
Exempt from the first round, she will begin her title defense by facing the winner of the match between the American Danielle Collins (22nd), who jumped 31 places in the WTA rankings thanks to her final victory in the Miami tournament, and the Spaniard Paula Badosa, who dropped two positions (82nd). Since the start of the season, Jabeur has played in 5 tournaments, including a Major (the Australian Open), in which she has only achieved two victories against five defeats.
