Sinner remains in 8th place and can plan for Turin

The Sinner team had announced their big goal before the season: qualifying for the ATP Finals, which is seen as the most important tournament of the year after the four Grand Slams. While the 21-year-old had to worry about his participation until last week when he played as a substitute in Turin two years ago, he can already plan for it this year. The reason for this is simple: Taylor Fritz qualified last year for the tournament with only 2955 points. Sinner already has 3175 points to his name - and the entire hard court season in America and Europe still lies ahead of him. The gap to ninth place in the annual ranking is 1090 points. Only the top 8 are there.

In view of this, the South Tyrolean can hardly be prevented from taking part. Sinner did not improve in the world rankings despite the 720 points for the Wimbledon semi-finals. The Sesto native is still in position 8 in the ranking. The gap to Andrey Rublev in 7th place is 550 points. After losing the 250 points from last year's tournament win in Umag, Sinner only has a few points to defend until the end of the year. So there is a chance to further improve your own ranking and attack the top 5.

At the top, Carlos Alcaraz defended his top position by winning the title at Wimbledon. Behind him, Novak Djokovic takes second place, followed by Daniil Medvedev in third place. Stefanos Tsitsipas in fourth place is less than 3 points ahead of Sinner. This shows that a lot is possible with a good hard court season. The protégé of Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill is now taking a break, will not defend his title in Umag and will only get back on the tour on August 4th at the ATP 1000 Masters tournament in Toronto.

Swiatek remains number 1 In the women's category, Iga Swiatek maintained her top position ahead of Aryna Sabalenka from Belarus, although the Pole had already failed in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon to Elina Svitolina from Ukraine. Surprise winner Marketa Vondrousova from the Czech Republic gained 32 places and, in tenth place, is one of the ten best players in the world for the first time.
