Wimbledon 2025 Rankings: Sinner Solidifies No. 1, Alcaraz Holds No. 2, Medvedev Slides

The dust has settled on the hallowed grass courts of Wimbledon 2025, bringing with it significant shifts and affirmations in the ATP rankings. Jannik Sinner, the newly crowned Wimbledon champion, has emphatically solidified his position as the World No. 1, while Carlos Alcaraz maintains his hold on the second spot. On the other hand, Daniil Medvedev experienced a notable drop following an early exit from the tournament.

Sinner’s Dominance: A Growing Lead at World No. 1

Jannik Sinner’s triumph at Wimbledon 2025, his maiden title at SW19 and fourth Major overall, has significantly extended his lead at the top of the ATP rankings. Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz in a thrilling four-set final (4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4) to claim the prestigious title. This victory saw the Italian’s points total climb to 12,030, widening his advantage over Alcaraz to 3,430 points. He entered the tournament with a lead of 1,130 points over Alcaraz but gained a significant 1,200 points by converting his 2024 quarter-final performance into a championship title. Sinner’s ascent marks him as only the fifth player in the Open Era to surpass the 12,000-point threshold, joining an elite group that includes Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray.

Alcaraz Remains at No. 2 Despite Final Loss

Despite reaching his third consecutive Wimbledon final, Carlos Alcaraz was unable to defend his 2024 title, falling to Jannik Sinner. This result, while a strong Grand Slam showing, meant Alcaraz lost 700 points, keeping him at World No. 2 with 8,600 points. His consistency at the top remains undeniable, but the gap between him and Sinner has now substantially widened.

Medvedev’s Significant Ranking Drop

Daniil Medvedev, who entered Wimbledon 2025 as the World No. 10, experienced a disappointing first-round exit at the hands of Benjamin Bonzi. Having reached the semifinals in the previous two editions of Wimbledon (2023 and 2024), Medvedev was defending a substantial 790 points. His early departure led to those points dropping off his total, causing him to slide four spots in the rankings to World No. 14 with 2,630 points. This setback could have significant implications for his chances of qualifying for the year-end Nitto ATP Finals.
