ATP Rankings Update: Carlos Alcaraz cuts Jannik Sinner's lead as Jack Draper returns to World No.4 in Wimbledon boost

Jannik Sinner for the first time in a long while has some competition for World No.1 as Carlos Alcaraz cut his lead slightly in the latest ATP Rankings Update after the week that was.

Sinner had a 3,500 point lead over Alcaraz just over two months ago but he has since won Monte-Carlo, Rome, French Open and Queen's. Albeit he has to now defend Wimbledon, he only sits 1,130 points behind him which feasibly could mean that by Canada and Cincinnati it could flip in Alcaraz's favour.

Sinner though who has spent 55 consecutive weeks at World No.1 looks likely to remain at the top after Wimbledon due to that Alcaraz defense with Sinner defending 1,300 points while Alcaraz defends 2,000. Alexander Zverev remains well adrift in third place while Jack Draper is up to World No.4.

The cut-off for Wimbledon seeds being today (Monday 23 June) means that Draper is now assured of being fourth seed at his home major which means he avoids some big names. Daniil Medvedev is back in the top 10 after finishing runner-up to Alexander Bublik.

But Medvedev joked afterwards that he wants Bublik in Sinner and Alcaraz's quarter not his and now the Kazakh is seeded he will be a major danger. He reached the Quarter-Finals of the French Open and then secured Halle in what is his best run for a player who by his own admission hasn't taken the sport too seriously in the past.

Jiri Lehecka also soared after the week that was. He is up five spots to World No.25 with the Czech ace losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the final of Queen's. While Marin Cilic is back in the top 100 going up 16 spots to World No.85. He managed to win the Challenger event in Nottingham this past week to soar back into form.
