2 in the latest ATP Rankings released on Monday following the end of the 2026 Grand Slam season, but also reduced the gap to leader Jannik Sinner to 1,810 points. Newly-crowned US Open champion Alexander Zverev not only consolidated his position as the world No. He has also nearly doubled his points tally over third-placed Carlos Alcaraz.
The 39-year-old suffered a shock 7-6(5), 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 defeat to Argentina’s Mariano Navone two weeks ago in a match that lasted four hours and 36 minutes. It marked his earliest exit from a Grand Slam since he suffered a first-round defeat at the Australian Open in 2006. However, Novak Djokovic suffered an eight-year low after crashing out of the US Open in the opening round.
Federer was the first of the three to retire from professional tennis, saying goodbye to the sport in 2022 after his final appearance at the Laver Cup that year. Nadal played for two more years before making his final appearance at the 2024 Davis Cup. Djokovic remains an active player and, despite his body taking a toll on him in recent months, intends to play until the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
