The week starts and it’s Australian Open time with the best of men’s and women’s tennis on the court at the first Grand Slam of the year. However, he ended a week in which the Melbourne Atp 250 tournaments and the ATP Cup were played with a ranking that has not changed much, but has seen progress from the Italians.
The Top Ten remains unchanged, however, Matteo Berrettini earns points and continues to move closer to Schwartzman’s ninth place while reaching almost 500 points ahead of Monfils and Shapovalov. The first change in the standings is with Milos Raonic overtaking David Goffin in 14th place.
Finalist in Melbourne 2 Felix Auger Aliassime postpones the appointment with the first title, but returns to the Top 20 winning two positions against Grigor Dimitrov. Melbourne 2 winner Daniel Evans did well too, reaching his Best Ranking at 26th by gaining 7 positions.
However, Italians Jannik Sinner and Stefano Travaglia are the center of attention by winning their Best Ranking by climbing 4 and even 11 positions, respectively. Sinner thus becomes number 32 in the world while Travaglia is the new number 60.
Sonego loses 1 position (to the detriment of Sinner) and thus remains at number 35. Novak Djokovic remains at the top and is obviously normal given the situation but Roger Federer’s all-time record of 310 weeks on top that the Serbian should get closer and closer to overcome next March 8.
Behind the good results of young talents Brandon Nakashima and Carlos Alcaraz: the former even gains 24 positions and becomes number 133 while Alcaraz after the good performance in Melbourne gains 5 positions and becomes number 141.
Today on the women’s circuit
On the women’s circuit a move into the Top Ten with Kvitova overtaking Bianca Andreescu, Elise Mertens also did well, winning the tournament, gaining 4 positions and reaching number 16 in the WTA rankings.
No major changes until the 40th position where Danielle Collins gains 6 places in the classification. Great leap also for LA Estonian Kanepi who gains 29 positions and becomes number 66 in the world.
Italian chapter: Camila Giorgi loses 3 places, now number 79 in the world and the same fate for Martina Trevisan, now number 89.
