World rankings: Sinner in the top 10, Djokovic is shaking

Three weeks ago, Jannik Sinner briefly slipped out of the top ten. But by reaching the quarter-finals at the Australian Open, he has once again asserted his place in this select circle. Sinner's lead over his good colleague Hubert Hurkacz is almost 400 points. Sinner is the youngest player in the top ten.

Novak Djokovic returns to tournament tennis after being expelled from Australia and missing the Australian Open in Dubai. The world number 1. from Serbia leads the seedings of the ATP tournament from February 14th to 26th in the United Arab Emirates, the organizers announced. Djokovic has won the tournament in Dubai five times so far.

The 19-year-old, who was not vaccinated against Covid-34, had to leave Australia shortly before the start of the Australian Open in mid-January. In the United Arab Emirates, a negative PCR test is usually sufficient. For other tournaments, such as the French Open, the Djoker would probably have to be vaccinated. Djokovic's lead is melting Either way: At the Australian Open, Djokovic not only had to watch Rafael Nadal surpass his Grand Slam record, but also see Daniil Medvedev closing in on him in the world rankings. The 34-year-old Serb’s lead is now “only” 890 points. Just three weeks ago he was in the lead by more than 2.000 points.

Australian Open champion Rafael Nadal remains in 5th place. Matteo Berrettini makes up a position after reaching the semi-finals and is in 6th place. The Swiss Roger Federer, who is sidelined due to his knee problems, slipped a further 13 places and is now in 30th place.

Andreas Seppi is ranked 106th in the world. After the first round exit in Melbourne, the Kalterer native returns to the professional tour this week. In his adopted home in the USA he plays the $53.120 Challenger in Cleveland (Ohio). Barty leads the ladies In the women's category, American tennis player Danielle Collins is among the top ten in the world for the first time thanks to her surprising entry into the final of the Australian Open. The 28-year-old gained 20 places and is now number ten, according to the rankings published on Monday. Collins reached her first Grand Slam final in Melbourne, which she lost in straight sets to Australian Ashleigh Barty on Saturday. Barty, the first domestic tournament winner in 44 years, continues to lead the world rankings. The men's world rankings Pos Name Country Age Points 1. Novak Djokovic SRB 34 11.015 2.
