The latest ATP rankings reveal significant shifts among the world’s top male tennis players, with some reaching new career milestones. Here’s a breakdown of the key movements and achievements:
Sinner Still Holds Strong at World No. 1
Jannik Sinner of Italy continues to hold the No. 1 position in the ATP rankings. Despite a three-month suspension that ended recently, Sinner maintains a significant lead over his closest rivals, Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz, who hold the second and third positions, respectively. Sinner’s continued reign at the top is partly due to his strong performance earlier in the year, including winning the Australian Open. He has a total of 19 singles titles, including three majors: the 2024 Australian Open, the 2024 US Open, and the 2025 Australian Open. Sinner also led Italy to victory in the 2023 and 2024 Davis Cup crowns. He is the first Italian to reach the world’s top ranking.
As of May 5, 2025, the top 3 in the ATP rankings are:
- Jannik Sinner (ITA) – 9730 points
- Alexander Zverev (GER) – 8085 points
- Carlos Alcaraz (ESP) – 7850 points
Draper Breaks into the Top 5
Jack Draper, a 23-year-old British player, has achieved a new career-high ranking of No. 5. Draper’s ascent is attributed to his strong performance at the Madrid Open, where he reached the final. He is now the top-ranked British player, surpassing Novak Djokovic in the rankings. Draper is only the fourth British player to reach the Top 5 in ATP history, joining Andy Murray, Tim Henman, and Greg Rusedski. He is also the second left-handed player to be ranked in the Top 5 this century, after Rafael Nadal. In 2025, Draper won his first ATP Masters 1000 title at the Indian Wells Open. Draper’s ranking reflects his consistent performance and growing presence on the ATP tour.
Musetti Makes Top 10 Debut
Lorenzo Musetti, a 23-year-old Italian, has made his Top 10 debut, achieving a ranking of No. 9. This milestone follows his strong performance in Madrid, where he reached the semi-finals. Musetti’s entry into the Top 10 makes him the sixth Italian player to reach this level since 1973. He is also one of the few players born in 2002 or later to achieve a Top 10 ranking, along with Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune. Musetti’s success on clay courts has been a significant factor in his rise. He has won two ATP Tour singles titles.
Diallo’s Lucky Loser Run Leads to Ranking Surge
Gabriel Diallo, a 23-year-old Canadian player, has experienced a significant jump in the rankings. Diallo, who entered the Madrid Open as a lucky loser, reached the quarterfinals, propelling him to a career-high ranking of No. 54. This represents a jump of 24 places. Diallo’s recent performances have highlighted his potential and contributed to his rise in the rankings.
