After the celebrations on the pitch, the ATP certification also arrives: thanks to the triumph on clay in Monte Carlo, Jannik Sinner returns to the throne of the world rankings, overtaking his rival Carlos Alcaraz, beaten in the final of the Principality’s Masters 1000. The South Tyrolean champion also surpasses Alcaraz’s weeks as leader of the ranking, starting number 67 against the Spaniard’s 66. Having reached the 50 points of the ATP 500 in Halle 2025, Sinner now has a margin of 110 points over Alcaraz, who will play in Barcelona next week while Jannik will remain out of action. Alcaraz, a finalist last year, will return to number 1 by winning the title. However, Lorenzo Musetti, who did not confirm the final he reached last year, slips out of the top 5 to ninth position.
Montecarlo revolutionizes the ranking: the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime and the American Ben Shelton climb two steps and reach fifth and sixth place respectively, while the Australian Alex De Minaur slips to seventh place ahead of the other American Taylor Fritz, eighth. As for the other five Italians in the top 100, Flavio Cobolli (16th), Luciano Darderi (21st) and Lorenzo Sonego (66th) are stable; Mattia Bellucci gains a place (78th), Matteo Berrettini loses one (91st).
