How does live ATP Ranking stack up ahead of Australian Open final as Daniil Medvedev targets World Number Two and Nadal set for drop

Saturday, 27 January 2024 at 20:00

With the conclusion of the 2024 Australian Open, there will be several changes in the ATP Ranking. Novak Djokovic will remain as the world No. 1, while Daniil Medvedev has the chance to take the world No. 2 spot from Carlos Alcaraz if he wins the championship. Rafael Nadal anticipates another significant drop of 192 places after losing the points from the second-round last year.

In the final, the former world No. 1 Russian, Medvedev, who reached his third AO final, will face debutant Jannik Sinner, both having eliminated the two title favorites. Sinner overcame 'Nole,' and Medvedev ousted Alcaraz. The Russian can win his second Grand Slam trophy, which could propel him to the world No. 2 position, surpassing Alcaraz.

As for Sinner, he started the tournament as the world No. 4, and even if he becomes the champion, he will maintain that ranking. This is due to the significant points difference that separated him from the top three players, Djokovic, Alcaraz, and Medvedev, just a couple of weeks ago. If the Italian wins, the top four players in the ranking will close the gap.

The 22-times Grand Slam champion Rafa Nadal, who did not participate in the Australian Open, lost the points from the previous year's second round and will drop nearly 200 places in the ranking, settling at No. 648 starting Monday.

Other beneficiaries include quarterfinalist Hubert Hurkacz, achieving his career-best ranking as the world No. 8, and Adrian Mannarino also reaching a new high at world No. 17. Other players achieving their best rankings include Sebastian Baez (25), Tomas Etcheverry (28), Matteo Arnaldi (38), Nunbo Borges (47), and Zhizhen Zhang (50).
