Upcoming Rankings

[James P]

So, Djokovic maintained the #1 ranking for one more week, but there will be major flux in a week's time. Here's the rankings in one week:

01) Medvedev 7,800 (Hertogenbosch)
02) Zverev 7,075
03) Djokovic 6,770
04) Nadal 6,525
05) Ruud 5,050
06) Tsitsipas 4,945 (Stuttgart)
07) Alcaraz 4,893
08) Rublev 4,125
09) Auger-Aliassime 3,850 (Hertogenbosch)
10) Norrie 3,455
11) Berrettini 3,320 (Stuttgart)
12) Hurkacz 3,258 (Stuttgart)
13) Sinner 3,185
14) Fritz 2,920 (Hertogenbosch)
15) Shapovalov 2,473 (Stuttgart)
16) Schwartzman 2,325
17) Cilic 2,130
18) Opelka 2,100
19) Carreno Busta 1,965
20) Bautista Agut 1,868

The only possible changes in rankings are people whom are playing the two grass tournaments this week, both 250s. Those unknown points are obviously not factored into these new rankings.

So, Medvedev will return to #1, Zverev will reach a new career high #2, Ruud will move to a new career high #5 unless Tsitsipas performs well in Stuttgart.

 

[Hitman]

Poor Zverev will lose that number two position pretty quickly as I highly doubt he will be playing until 2023.

Definitely looked bad.

 

[Goof]

Djokovic and Nadal top two seeds at Wimbledon.
Ruud, Alcaraz, Tsitsipas fighting to stay in the top 4.

 

[TennisFan3]

Djokovic and Nadal top two seeds at Wimbledon.
Ruud, Alcaraz, Tsitsipas fighting to stay in the top 4.

Huh? Is Zverev confirmed that he will NOT play Wimbledon?
And what about Medvedev - can he try again and persuade the British to give him an exemption?

Djokovic will be happy at least he won't have to face Nadal untilthe final. Fingers rossed that Rafa does play Wimbledon.

Zverev is done for months. It will be a long recovery. I don't expect the Brits to change their mind on the Russians/Belarussians.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Med doesn’t deserve to be #1

 

[FrontHeadlock]

Med doesn’t deserve to be #1

Why not? He has the most points.

Now, if you take issue with the ranking system, I can see that. Tell us how you'd change it.

 

[Kenshiro]

Does anyone know when Rafa will become No.1 again? He’s won two grand slams already this year and almost nothing to defend for the rest of the season.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Why not? He has the most points.

Now, if you take issue with the ranking system, I can see that. Tell us how you'd change it.

Make Vilas #1instead of Connors

 

[Third Serve]

wow that bottom half of the top 10 is rough

 

[James P]

Also interesting, Berrettini will fall out of the top 10 during grass season (inevitable with 1700 points to defend), and it might happen next week. That'll be the first time outside since 2019, quite the run though he only peaked at #6.

 

[TennisLurker]

what will the rankings of Hurkacz and Shapovalov be without wimbledon points?

 

[James P]

what will the rankings of Hurkacz and Shapovalov be without wimbledon points?

Going to be a brutal collapse in ranking points for Djokovic (2000), Berrettini (1200), Shapo and Hurk (720 each).

 

[ItalianFan]

Does anyone know when Rafa will become No.1 again? He’s won two grand slams already this year and almost nothing to defend for the rest of the season.

Not before September 12

 

[Indigo]

Does anyone know Federer's ranking?

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Zverev is done for months. It will be a long recovery. I don't expect the Brits to change their mind on the Russians/Belarussians.

I read somewhere he tored ligaments don’t know how true that is but yes he might be out for awhile.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Does anyone know Federer's ranking?

Top 60 i think

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Does anyone know Federer's ranking?

I don’t think he’s playing wimbledon.

 

[The Fedfather]

Top 60 i think

Matching his age

 

[Nadal_King]

If Rafa plays Wimby, Tsitsipas and Ruud as 3rd/4th seeds is a joke both are not making that far in the tournament and regarding 5-8 all look strong alcaraz, Faa, Norrie, Berretinni. It's basically a lottery for 2 of them to fall in Ruud/Tsitsipas quarter

 

[TheNachoMan]

Why not? He has the most points.

Now, if you take issue with the ranking system, I can see that. Tell us how you'd change it.

Slams = 3000 points. That’s how I’d change it

 

[I Am Finnish]

Matching his age

@The Fedfather which round did Fedr lost at Wimbledon?

Last year

Fedr to play challengers

 

[Sudacafan]

Poor Zverev will lose that number two position pretty quickly as I highly doubt he will be playing until 2023.

Can’t tell, but hope not.

 

[The Fedfather]

Fedr to play challengers

You seen to be enjoying the idea too much

 

[Aabye5]

Hubi Scruwed bi Do

 

[Hitman]

Can’t tell, but hope not.

I highly doubt he is playing the next two slams, he will need to sort his injury out, and then walk again on his own, and then train like an elite athlete. That will take time.

 

[DSH]

Med doesn’t deserve to be #1

Neither Djokovic!

 

[TheNachoMan]

Neither Djokovic!

More than Med does. lol
Nadal should be #1 anyway

 

[LetWinner]

Slams = 3000 points. That’s how I’d change it

Belgrade = 3500 points
FO and Wimby = 3000 points each
AO and USO = 5 points each
Shanghai and Paris-bercy = 2000 points each
WTF = 1500 points
Clay tournament have all their points cut in half

I believe this a fair way to run the tour, no?

 

[Justin Side]

Slams = 3000 points. That’s how I’d change it

I'd back that. Would have made for a fairer French Open draw. With 3000 points per-major, I think Nadal would have been a top 4 seed at the French. Which means Djoker wouldn't have had to play Nadal in the QF.

 

[Hitman]

I have to say, not seeing Djokovic as the reigning defending undisputed heavweight ATP mens singles number one player of the world just looks wrong on so many levels.

Greatest reign of all time.

 

[James P]

Djokovic is highly likely to drop out of the top 5, too. Thanks Britain!!

 

[vex]

Ligaments bro

Its about to get worse. Much worse.

 

[Bubcay]

Or thanks ATP for the most ridiculous decision ever. Nobody benefits from stripping the points - everybody loses.

 

[vex]

YE#1 is gonna be a three way dog fight. The winner will almost certainly have to reach the Finals of the USO at a minimum.

Contenders:

Med - Reclaiming #1, can he hold off the field over the second half of the season? The zero wimby points save him for now. Its his YE#1 to lose....
Tsitsipas - gross. He sucks at Wimbledon and gets a MASSIVE pass this year with its points being erased.
Alcaraz - He's coming. I don't know if he'll improve to the point where he's a B3-level player but he's gonna be a 5+ slam winner at a minimum. For this year can he at least maintain his level from the spring? If so he'll reach at least #2 if not #1.

The Wildcards

Nadal - we all know how he tends to disappear post-RG. Soundbites are not promising. Obviously he's just aiming at slams at this point and to that end he only needs to play THREE tournaments: Wimby, Cincy and USO. If he wins USO he could take YE1 with just 2 strong masters performances while the young crowd splits up the rest of the masters points. Its all about the foot.
Rublev - the dark horse. He'd need to go on a run that he's never gone on before. Unlikely.

Dropping like rocks

Zverev - probably out for the year.
Djokovic - might as well be out for the year.

Ruud

Agree with everything, although Rublev has no chance at #1. I think even Medvedev has a very tough road, though it's possible with a strong summer HC season.

Yeah Rublev would have to take his game to another level. No indication thats about to happen. But if Med falters, who ya got?

 

[James P]

Nadal has quite a lead, though I do think he's going to fade due to injury. I'd say he's still got a great shot at YE#1 regardless. Think Alcaraz might pull it off, though. Stef and Medly will be factors, I just don't know if they have it in them to do it this year, or not.

 

[Mustard]

Huh? Is Zverev confirmed that he will NOT play Wimbledon?

Pretty obvious. I should imagine he's out for at least 3 months, and perhaps as much as 12 months.

 

[tx10is]

Funny how that happens since joker is no longer on the players council (which who the atp supposedly discussed this with) while nadal, who has no points to defend, and federer still are. lol I like all 3 guys but that does make me laugh. nadal definitely benefits most.
