Although Alexander Zverev may finally be a Grand Slam champion, this title has actually had no impact on his ranking.
After all, the gap between him and the top two players in the world is astronomical, even with Carlos Alcaraz having missed the bulk of the clay-court season through injury.
However, in what was a ridiculous tournament laden with surprises, there’s still been plenty of upheaval elsewhere.
Flavio Cobolli, the other finalist, has ensured himself a new career-high ranking, whilst Novak Djokovic‘s descent has begun.
Here is every single change to compile the full new ATP top ten.
The new ATP top ten in full after Roland Garros
As noted earlier, there has been no change in the top three, with Jannik Sinner and Alcaraz still maintaining hefty leads atop the world rankings.
Alexander Zverev earned a huge boost, whilst the Spaniard suffered the biggest possible drop, and yet he still leads the German by 2655 points.
How many more Grand Slams does Alexander Zverev win now?
What a final!
Felix Auger-Aliassime has claimed a new career-high ranking of fourth though, aided by his run to the quarter-finals, whilst Ben Shelton has retained his spot in fifth despite underperforming at Roland Garros.
Alex de Minaur was emotional after he lost in Paris, but will also match his career-best of sixth, with these rises facilitated by Novak Djokovic’s early exit.
He has dropped three places to seventh, and he narrowly leads Daniil Medvedev and Taylor Fritz in eighth and ninth, respectively.
The final spot is reserved for Cobolli, who has deservedly broken into the top ten after his strong performances over the last two weeks.
Flavio Cobolli has a huge opportunity to boost his ranking on grass
Although his experience on the surface is limited, Cobolli has already proven that he can be a huge threat on the grass.
And, with this Roland Garros run offering him a taste of the top ten, perhaps it could spur him on to even greater performances on a new surface, where unpredictability is rife.
Last year, the Italian performed solidly in Halle before losing early in Eastbourne. He then followed that up with a sensational run to the Wimbledon quarter-finals, losing to Djokovic despite taking the first set.
Given how weak the draw could be once again, having already capitalised on a ravaged Roland Garros, there’s cause for optimism that Cobolli could better his performances at all three of these events and truly make inroads into cementing his spot in the top ten.
