ATP Rankings Update: Zverev skips over Nadal as Medvedev tightens gap to Djokovic for No. 1

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.
