It is his highest ranking since August 2023. Alexei Popyrin, despite failing to defend his title after losing to Zverev in the quarterfinals, gained seven spots to move up to 19th.

'Could have hired anyone': Tennis world explodes over Jannik Sinner announcement
Alex de Minaur has made a bright start to his North American hard-court campaign, amid a golden opportunity for the Aussie tennis star to climb the rankings before the US Open. The World No.13 was too good for Yunchaokete Bu at the Citi Open in Washington on Wednesday, winning 7-6 (5) 6-2. The Aussie made a somewhat slow start and was pushed to a tiebreaker in the first set, but showed his class in the second by running away with it. The win was de Minaur's first since Wimbledon, where he lost to Novak Djokovic in the fourth round. He'll now play Czech 11th seed Jiri Lehecka in the Round of 16, with a golden opportunity to rise in the ATP rankings. De Minaur doesn't have any points to defend heading into the US Open because he didn't play any of the lead-up events last year. The Aussie was sidelined by a hip injury he sustained at Wimbledon in 2024, meaning he didn't play between the grass and hard-court grand slams. That means he doesn't have any rankings points to defend this year, and any wins he records will see him rise in the standings. With Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Jack Draper all withdrawing from next week's Masters 1000 event in Toronto, de Minaur has a chance to gain ground on his rivals. With a deep run in Washington and Toronto, he can surge back into the top-10 and potentially get himself an all-important top-eight seeding for the US Open. That would ensure he doesn't face anyone higher than him in the rankings until the quarter-finals. 'It was somewhat difficult at the start of the year and mentally taxing knowing that I had zeros on my ranking because I missed three Masters [also Shanghai],' De Minaur said before the match on Wednesday. 'I knew it would be important to put myself in a good position for the back end of the year when I have little to defend, giving hope that I could gain some serious points and momentum and build on the ranking. So going into the tail end of the year, I'm excited for the opportunity and hoping I can play good tennis and take care of my chances.' Jannik Sinner re-appoints trainer Umberto Ferrara Meanwhile, World No.1 Sinner has stunned the tennis world after announcing he's reunited with former fitness coach Umberto Ferrara. Sinner parted ways with Ferrara and physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi last year after twice testing positive for banned substance clostebol in March 2024. The banned substance entered Sinner's system after Naldi applied an over-the-counter spray to a cut on his own hand before giving the World No.1 a massage without gloves on. Ferrara had given the spray to Naldi, and they both paid the price when Sinner opted to part ways with them. But Sinner's team announced on Wednesday that Ferrara is returning with immediate effect. "The decision has been made in alignment with Jannik's management team as part of ongoing preparations for upcoming tournaments, including the Cincinnati Open and US Open," a statement from Sinner's team said. "Umberto has played an important role in Jannik's development to date, and his return reflects a renewed focus on continuity and performance at the highest level." RELATED: Jannik Sinner triumph could force Aussie coach to backflip on exit call Flood of support after tennis rocked by news about Wimbledon finalist Sinner had explained his decision to part ways with Ferrara and Naldi at the US Open last year. "Now, because of these mistakes, I'm not feeling that confident to continue with them," he said. "I was struggling a lot in the last months. I was waiting for the result. The only thing I need right now is some clean air." Tennis world reacts to Jannik Sinner announcement In February, Sinner cut a deal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport to take a three-month ban, which many thought was very light punishment despite the fact he ingested the banned substance inadvertently. He returned right in time for the French Open, finishing runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz before turning the tables on the World No.2 in the Wimbledon final. The optics of bringing Ferrara back onto his team have raised eyebrows around the tennis world. Aussie great Paul McNamee wrote on social media: "Jannik Sinner rehiring Umberta Ferrara has to be up there as one of the most astonishing PR moves in tennis history. You can afford to hire anyone in the world. Why oh why Jannik?" If he stands by his belief that it was an honest mistake like they've claimed from the beginning, why wouldn't he want to rehire him? Refusing to rehire him because a few idiots on twitter will cry would be silly. Willingness to rehire him more likely confirms there was no… — Mike Gerasimo (@SIGerasimo) July 23, 2025 He got the same doc back 😂😂😂 we have been played ladies and gentlemen 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔 — Nicholas Kyrgios (@NickKyrgios) July 23, 2025 This is really crazy. I don't get how even the most moderate and forgiving critics of the Sinner Saga (like me) can possibly look at this news and not think something is off. Didn't Sinner accept a 3-month BAN from playing tennis because his team, which included Ferrara, made a… — Chris Nolen (@LoveAsInZero) July 23, 2025 with agencies

Tennis: Karan Singh becomes India's No. 2 ranked player
Chandigarh: Karan Singh has climbed to a career-high ranking of World No. 426 in the latest ATP Rankings, making him the second-ranked Indian singles player, just behind India's No.1 Sumit Nagal (World No. 307). With an 11-place jump from 437, Karan has claimed the No. 2 spot among Indian men in the ATP singles standings. This ranking leap comes on the back of an impressive run of form for the 22-year-old, who has featured in three consecutive ITF World Tennis Tour M15 finals between May and June 2025, winning his maiden ITF title in Tehran, Iran, against Aleksandr Lobanov in straight sets 7-6, 6-2, and finishing runner-up in the other two at Tehran and Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Most recently, Karan, who is with Roundglass Tennis Academy, competed in the ITF World Tour M25 tournament in Monastir, Tunisia, where he delivered a gritty performance to reach the quarterfinals. He narrowly lost to Italy's Fabrizio Andaloro in a thrilling three-set match: 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-7(7). 'This ranking jump is a reward for Karan's resilience, discipline, and consistent performances over the last few months. We've focused on building not just his physical game, but his tactical maturity and mental resilience. Breaking into the top 500 is a big step, and to become India's No. 2 at this stage of his career shows his hunger and potential. We believe this upward trajectory will continue in the months to come," said Aditya Sachdeva, Technical Director of Roundglass Tennis Academy. Karan has been steadily progressing since his Davis Cup debut win for India in February 2025, where he helped the team seal a 4-0 win in the World Group I Playoff. He is currently part of the ATP Challenger Tour swing in India, using these higher-tier tournaments to push toward further ATP ranking gains.

Wimbledon Plans To Honour Andy Murray With A Statue On Tournament's 150th Anniversary
The All England Club have confirmed that Sir Andy Murray is set to be honoured with a statue at Wimbledon during the 2027 edition of the tournament, which will mark 150 years since the tournament began. Murray became the first British Grand Slam singles champion since Virginia Wade in 1977 at the 2012 US Open, where he battled past Djokovic in a thrilling five-set final. The following year, he became the first British male Wimbledon champion since Fred Perry in 1936, ending the nation's 77-year wait for a home winner at the grass-court major. In 2016, he won his second Wimbledon title and became the first British player to reach World No. 1 in the ATP Rankings. "We are looking to have a statue of Andy Murray here [at Wimbledon] and we're working closely with him and his team. "The ambition is that we would unveil that at the 150th anniversary of our first championship, which was 1877. He's got to rightly be very involved in that, and he and his team will be," said Debbie Jevans, chair of the All England Club, to the Ainslie Ainslie Performance People podcast. As per the BBC, in 2018, former Wimbledon chief executive Richard Lewis had confirmed the club's intentions to honour Murray with a statue when he eventually retired. A two-time Olympic men's singles gold medallist, Murray called curtains on his illustrious playing career after the 2024 Paris Olympics. A bronze statue of Fred Perry was erected at Wimbledon in 1984 to commemorate 50 years since his first singles championship. "Now he's retired, we're very much looking at how we can embrace him, for him to be a part of the club in the long term. We looked at Rafa Nadal having that sort of plaque unveiled to him at Roland Garros, which was all very special. We thought, 'What do we want for Andy? ',' Jevans added.
