The ATP Rankings have been updated today, Monday, September 18, with Novak Djokovic maintaining his lead over Carlos Alcaraz.

The 36-year-old achieved his record 24th Grand Slam title at the US Open, but his place as World No. 1 was secured from the first round when he ousted Alexandre Muller in straight sets. Moreover, the ranking points he gained from winning the New York major after not competing at Flushing Meadows the previous year puts him at 11,795 points.

This is 3,260 points more than World No. 2 Alcaraz, who currently sits at 8,535 after failing to defend his US Open title. This means that Djokovic will hold onto the top spot for at least two months.

With many top-ranked players recovering from the US Open, much of the higher end of the top 100 has remained the same. However, there have been some big leaps lower down in the rankings.

Australia's Rinky Hijikata has jumped up ten places to No. 72 after making it to the final of the Cary 2 Atlantic Tire Championships on the Challenger Tour. Meanwhile, Argentina's Federico Coria soared 14 places to No. 83 after earning 109 points from winning the Szczecin Open Challenger tournament. 

On the other hand, Michael Mmoh dropped 13 placed to No. 94 after he lost 80 points this week.

However, outside the top 100, Maxime Cressy bounced back from a difficult season at the Challenger 100 in Rennes, winning his first Challenger title since 2021 and rising to No. 104 in the rankings.
