ATP Rankings (10/06/24): Jannik Sinner crowned World No.1, as Andy Murray descends
The past two weeks at Roland Garros have had a huge impact on the ATP rankings, including a 29th World No.1 being crowned.
Carlos Alcaraz was the victor at the Paris major, after beating Alexander Zverev in five sets to become the youngest man in history to win Grand Slam singles titles on every surface.

Although Jannik Sinner did not win the title in the French capital, reaching the semi-final enabled him to climb up to the top of the rankings after Novak Djokovic withdrew from the tournament at the quarter-final stage due to injury.
The 22-year-old is the first singles player from Italy to reach the summit of the rankings.
Big Movers
Despite the focus being on Roland Garros, the biggest riser into the top 100 this week is Lloyd Harris, who lost in the second qualifying round.
In the second week of the Paris major, Harris elected to compete at the grass court Challenger tournament in Surbiton and went onto claim his first title on the surface.
As a result, the South African has risen 34 places to climb back into the top 100 for the first time since 2022 at world No.98.

Corentin Moutet achieved his best ever result at his home major this year, reaching the fourth round before falling to the aforementioned Jannik Sinner.
The unorthodox Frenchman is now closing in on a top 50 debut, jumping 23 spots upto No.56.
One of the other surprise breakout stars from Roland Garros this year was Zizou Bergs, with the Belgian winning his first two Grand Slam main draw matches after qualifying for the tournament.
The 25-year-old has consequently broken into the top 100 for the first time, rising 23 places to No.81.
Some of the other beneficiaries in the ATP rankings this week are Jan-Lennard Struff (+6 to No.35), Brandon Nakashima (+14 to No.70), Thiago Monteiro (+10 to No.76), Sumit Nagal (+18 to No.77), Alexandre Muller (+12 to No.78), Maximilian Marterer (+15 to No.86), Stan Wawrinka (+5 to No.93), Gregoire Barrere (+9 to No.103), Damir Dzumhur (+17 to No.111), Richard Gasquet (+8 to No.116), Jozef Kovalik (+26 to No.119) and Jesper de Jong (+29 to No.147).
In what is expected to be the final few months of his decorated career, Andy Murray is the biggest faller inside the top 100 this week.
After suffering a first round defeat at Roland Garros and electing to skip defending his title in Surbiton, the three-time major winner has fallen 22 places down to No.97.
Borna Coric has also continued his drop this week, slipping a further 15 places down the rankings to No.88 after losing five out of his last six matches.
Other significant declines this week include Cameron Norrie (-6 to No.39), Sebastian Ofner (-7 to No.52), Lorenzo Sonego (-9 to No.58), Facundo Diaz Acosta (-9 to No.64), Thiago Seyboth Wild (-13 to No.71), Aslan Karatsev (-10 to No.92), Fabio Fognini (-8 to No.101), Yoshihito Nishioka (-34 to No.104), Adam Walton (-11 to No.107),Francisco Comesana (-21 to No.120), Diego Schwartzman (-22 to No.163) and Juan Pablo Varillas (-52 to No.169).

ATP Rankings rules
ATP rankings track and rank all the players on tour over a 52-week period. Points are awarded for performance, with the biggest tournaments giving out the most points over the course of the year.
Those rankings are then used to determine a number of things, such as seedings at tournaments and deciding who qualifies for the season-ending ATP Finals in Turin.
ATP rankings points awarded/tournament
The following points are awarded for the different tiers of tournaments on the ATP Tour, with some slight alterations made for the 2024 season:
| Tournament category | W | F | SF | QF | R16 | R32 | R64 | R128 | Q |
| ATP Tour | |||||||||
| Grand Slam | 2000 | 1300 | 800 | 400 | 200 | 100 | 50 | 10 | 30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATP Finals | +900 (1500 max) | +400 (1000 max) | 200 for each round robin match win (600 max) | ||||||
| ATP Masters 1000 | 1000 | 650 | 400 | 200 | 100 | 50 | 10 (30) | (10) | 30 (20) |
| ATP 500 | 500 | 330 | 200 | 100 | 50 | (25) | 25 (16) | ||
| ATP 250 | 250 | 165 | 100 | 50 | 25 | (13) | 13 (8) | ||
Admissible tournaments
To prevent players from manipulating the rankings by playing a large amount of smaller tournaments, only 19 tournaments are admissible over the course of the year to make up a ranking.
That number does not include the ATP Finals, with that treated as an extra earned opportunity to win rankings points. However, the bigger and most prestigious tournaments are considered ‘mandatory’ entries. For example, if a player lost in round one of a Grand Slam, they would not be permitted to omit it from their ranking in favour of an ATP 250 which earned them more points.
Therefore, players who compete at all the mandatory events in a season will have the following breakdown of admissible rankings points:
- 4 Grand Slams
- 8 Masters 1000
- 7 ‘Best Other’ performances
The rankings always cover the previous 52-week period, so any points won further back than that are deducted from a player’s total. That player will, though, have the chance to ‘defend’ their points by repeating or improving upon their previous performance.
An example would be a player who was a defeated finalist at the Australian Open in 2024 will have 1300 points deducted from their ranking following the 2025 final. Those points would then be replaced by those won at the 2025 tournament.
