(Paris) Winner of the Masters 1000 in Rome on Sunday, Alexander Zverev gains a place and regains the top 4 in the ATP rankings published on Monday, still dominated by Novak Djokovic.
The world podium remains unchanged, with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz second to the Serbian, but the three dropped points this week, unlike Zverev.
The 27-year-old German beat the astonishing Chilean Nicolas Jarry in the final in Rome on Sunday, who jumped eight places in the rankings and entered the top 20in 16e position.
Zverev had reached world number two in June 2022 when he seriously injured his right ankle in the semi-final of Roland-Garros against Rafael Nadal. His victory on Sunday confirms that he is back at a high level and that he will be one of the favorites for the next Paris tournament (May 26-June 9).
At the top of the hierarchy, Djokovic remains in place thanks to the lead he had accumulated, but his defeat in the second round in Rome and his series of five tournaments without a trophy or final in 2024 place him very far from his usual performances.
