ATP and WTA Rankings Shakeup: Alcaraz Drops, Hurkacz Soars

The ATP and WTA rankings have undergone significant changes following the conclusion of three grass-court events in Halle, Queen's Club, and Berlin.

Carlos Alcaraz's Ranking Drop:

Carlos Alcaraz's hopes of retaining his No. 2 ranking were dashed after his second-round exit at Queen's Club. As a result, he has dropped to No. 3, elevating Novak Djokovic to No. 2. This could have major implications for the Wimbledon seedings, with Jannik Sinner and Djokovic potentially becoming the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, respectively.

Hubert Hurkacz's Career-High Ranking:

Hubert Hurkacz has achieved a new career-high ranking of No. 7 after reaching the final of the Halle ATP 500 event. He becomes the highest-ranked Polish player in ATP history, surpassing his previous best of No. 8.

Tommy Paul's American No. 1 Status:

Tommy Paul has reclaimed his career-high ranking of No. 12 after winning the Queen's Club title. He has also become the new American men's No. 1, replacing Taylor Fritz.

Sebastian Korda's Top 20 Debut:

Sebastian Korda has broken into the Top 20, rising to No. 20 after reaching the semifinals of Queen's Club. He is the second U.S. man born in the 2000s to achieve this feat, following Ben Shelton.

Anna Kalinskaya's WTA Top 20 Debut:

Anna Kalinskaya has made her Top 20 debut on the WTA rankings, jumping to No. 17 after reaching the final of the Berlin WTA 500 event. She has risen almost 100 spots in the last eight months, showcasing her impressive form.

Jack Draper and Zhang Zhizhen's Top 30 and Top 40 Debuts:

Jack Draper has made his Top 30 debut, rising to No. 29 after reaching the quarterfinals of Queen's Club. Zhang Zhizhen has also achieved a Top 40 debut, rising to No. 33 after reaching the semifinals in Halle and defeating Daniil Medvedev.
