Jannik Sinner is ATP world No. 1 on 14,750 points

Jannik Sinner is ATP world No. 1 on 14,750 points, with Carlos Alcaraz at No. 2 on 11,960 and Alexander Zverev at No. 3 on 5,705. That is the current top of the men’s game, and it puts jannik sinner in the clearest possible position heading into Roland Garros.

ATP Tour’s Roland Garros player page says Sinner is chasing his first Roland Garros crown. So the story in Paris is not just where he sits in the rankings, but how that No. 1 status now sits beside a first-title chase in one of tennis’s biggest events.

Tennis.com also mirrors the same top three and the same points totals: Sinner on 14,750, Alcaraz on 11,960, and Zverev on 5,705.

ATP rankings snapshot

Rank Player Points Verified by

2 Carlos Alcaraz 11,960 ATP Tour rankings; Tennis.com rankings page
3 Alexander Zverev 5,705 ATP Tour rankings; Tennis.com rankings page

Sinner leads Alcaraz by 2,790 points and Zverev by 9,045. That gap matters, but the bigger picture is that his No. 1 status comes while he is still chasing the one major title missing from his Paris record.

Why Paris matters now

ATP Tour’s Roland Garros page says Sinner is chasing his first Roland Garros crown. That gives this ranking update a very specific edge: he is arriving in Paris as the top-ranked player, but not yet as a Roland Garros champion.

A verified BBC Sport snippet says Sinner could be on course to challenge a Novak Djokovic rankings record over the next few weeks. That is why the focus is on more than points alone.

Record and streak context

One BBC Sport snippet says Sinner’s run officially eclipsed the 31-match mark previously established by Novak Djokovic. That is a sharp marker for how strong his current stretch has been.

Another BBC Sport snippet says Sinner beat Djokovic twice in 2025, and both wins came at Masters 1000 events. Djokovic has also said Sinner and Alcaraz have motivated him to keep playing, which adds weight to the names around Sinner at the top of the sport.

Alcaraz’s 3-2 edge over Djokovic since their Wimbledon meeting in that same context is another sign of the hierarchy around Sinner: the top of men’s tennis is being shaped by a small group, and Sinner is right at the center of it.

The year-end wrinkle

A BBC Sport snippet says Sinner will regain world No. 1 for one week before the season-ending tournament decides who finishes the year there. That is the key calendar detail behind the ranking race.

It means the current No. 1 spot is real, but the year-end picture still has one more checkpoint to settle. For Sinner, that makes the next few weeks about holding position, pressing the record chase, and carrying his Paris campaign with the No. 1 tag attached.
