Alcaraz drops to third in ATP rankings, trailing Sinner and Zverev

Carlos Alcaraz has fallen to third place in the ATP rankings, now trailing world number one Jannik Sinner by 5,290 points and number two Alexander Zverev by 320 points. The change follows Sinner's Wimbledon victory over Zverev in the final.

Alcaraz, 23, lost his second-place position during the season's third Grand Slam tournament. His forced absence from Wimbledon, due to a right wrist injury that has sidelined him for nearly three months, also contributed to the widening gap with Sinner. He currently holds 8,160 points, compared to Sinner's 13,450 and Zverev's 8,480.

The Spanish tennis player's inability to defend points from tournaments he won in 2025 has led to his demotion in the race for the world number one spot. Alcaraz, who won the Rome Masters 1000, Roland Garros, and Queen's ATP 500 titles last year, as well as finishing runner-up at the Barcelona ATP 500 and Wimbledon, has now slipped to third.

There is no confirmed date for Alcaraz's return, although speculation suggests he might reappear during the North American hard-court summer tour, potentially at the Cincinnati Masters 1000 or the US Open, both of which he won in 2025. Other notable players in the rankings include Felix Auger-Aliassime (4,740 points), Alex de Minaur (4,110), Ben Shelton (3,770), Novak Djokovic (3,760), Daniil Medvedev (3,670), Flavio Cobolli (3,460), and Taylor Fritz (3,365).
