ATP Ranking Update (20/08/24): Jannik Sinner widens gap after Cincinnati glory as Tiafoe and Draper rise

The ATP Ranking has been updated as of the 20 August after the Cincinnati Open, with Jannik Sinner widening his gap to the rest of the field by over 2000 points after initially seeing his World No.1 spot under threat.

Sinner sealed the Cincinnati Open on Monday night as he saw off Frances Tiafoe in superb fashion. He remains as the out and out World No.1 as Novak Djokovic sits second. He remains there even though he did not play in Cincinnati as Alcaraz himself failed to defend final points.

The rest of the top 10 remains unchanged with the main changes also coming outside of the top 10. Frances Tiafoe jumped seven spots and has returned to the top 20. This has seen him overtake Sebastian Baez, Alejandro Tabilo and Karen Khachanov among others. With no Tommy Paul run, Ben Shelton usurped him building up a 305 point lead in 13th. While Holger Rune's resurgence as such saw him overtake Sebastian Korda making a return to the top 15.

Jack Draper also jumped three spots following his Quarter-Final run. Alexei Popyrin though fell down five to 28th after losing early in Cincinnati. Luciano Darderi, Adrian Mannarino and Matteo Berrettini all also dropped a myriad of spots. It also sets the seeds ahead of the US Open with this latest update.
