ATP Rankings: Medvedev slips, Paul makes Top 10 debut as Sinner stays on top after Australian Open 2025 title

Jannik Sinner continued to occupy the No. 1 spot in the latest ATP Rankings released on Monday after winning his second straight Australian Open title.

The Italian defeated World No. 2 Alexander Zverev 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-3 to clinch his third Grand Slam title in Melbourne on Sunday.

Germany’s Zverev suffered his third loss in as many career Major finals.

USA’s Tommy Paul, who lost to Zverev in the quarterfinals, jumped two spots to make his Top 10 debut. The 27-year-old American is the new World No. 9.

Daniil Medvedev, last year’s runner-up, was knocked out by American teenager Learner Tien, a qualifier, in the second round. The Russian slipped two spots to seventh.

Ten-time champion Novak Djokovic was forced to retire after losing the first set against Zverev in the semifinals due to injury. The Serbian, who had gone down to Sinner at the same stage last year, dropped one place to sixth.

Casper Ruud, despite his second-round exit, moved up one place to fifth.

Andrey Rublev, who lost to Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca in the first round, dropped one spot to 10th.

Ben Shelton, the fourth semifinalist, jumped three spots to 14th.

Elsewhere in the Top 100, Frenchman Arthur Fils (19th), American Alex Michelsen (36th), Briton Jacob Fearnley (77th), Canadian Gabriel Diallo (85th), Italians Francesco Passaro (89th) and Mattia Bellucci (98th), and Serbian Hamad Medjedovic (94th) achieved new career-high rankings.

Tien (80th) and Fonseca (99th) made their Top 100 debut.
