Alexander Zverev is the Cincinnati Masters champion and the German skipped over Nadal at No. 4 as Medvedev tightened the gap to Djokovic for the No. 1 sport.
A very entertaining week of tennis happened at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati. Alexander Zverev continued dominating and the German is now ranked at number 4 of the rankings having skipped over Nadal. He is also very close to Tsitsipas for the number 3 spot which will be a great battle to see unfold in the next few weeks.
The gap between Djokovic and Medvedev shrunk a bit as well but the Serbian still holds a significant lead over the Russian. No other changes were observed in the top 10 with Thiem still at 6, Rublev at 7, Berrettini at 8, Federer at 9 and Shapovalov at 10.
In total nine players have reached a new career-high ranking this Monday. They are Davidovich Fokina at 33, Korda at 44, Coria at 61, Duckworth at 66, Mager at 70, Martinez at 73, Rinderknech at 78, Nakashima at 83 and Brooksby at 98. Check out the full top 100 below.
