ATP Rankings update: Carlos Alcaraz closes in on No. 1 Jannik Sinner with Queen’s Club title, Daniil Medvedev returns to the top 10

While Jannik Sinner commands the ATP rankings for another week, his rival Carlos Alcaraz is slowly gaining on him. Their contrasting results over the past week made it possible for the Spaniard to cover some ground.

Sinner’s title defense in Halle came to an end in the second round against eventual champion Alexander Bublik. His early exit cost him 450 points and he has 10,430 points to his name this week. Alcaraz, meanwhile, added 450 points to his total thanks to his title-winning run at Queen’s Club. His current tally stands at 9,300 points.

While Alcaraz has managed to narrow the gap, it will be a while before he has a chance to overtake Sinner. The Spaniard is the defending champion at Wimbledon, meaning he has 2,000 points to defend. A successful title defense could lay the groundwork for his eventual ascension given the massive chunk of points Sinner has to defend post Wimbledon.

The Williams sisters' journey from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of tennis has been his greatest source of inspiration.
