This week’s rankings report starts with Carlos Alcaraz who is the new US Open champion! The Spaniard dethroned Jannik Sinner with an emphatic four set display to claim his second title in New York and his sixth Grand Slam title in total. It was a dominant tournament from Alcaraz who dropped only one set in the whole tournament as he continued to extend his legacy in the sport. As a result Alcaraz is the new world number one as the race is on for the year-end world number one ranking.

In other ranking rises this week Novak Djokovic is back into the world’s top four, climbing three places, after his run to the semi-finals in New York. The other semi-finalist at the US Open was Felix Auger-Aliassime who produced a stunning tournament to reach his second Grand Slam semi-final. As a result, Auger-Aliassime has climbed up 14 places to 13 in the world as he looks to push the world’s top ten for the rest of the season. Other ranking rises include Alexander Bublik making his top 20 return, climbing up five places while Jan-Lennard Struff climbed up 46 places to 98 in the world after reaching the fourth round.

As for ranking falls, Daniil Medvedev is down five places to 18 in the world after another first round exit at Grand Slam level. There was a 12 place drop for Frances Tiafoe to 29 in the world as he failed to back up his semi-final performance from last year and went out at the third round. There was also an 11 place drop for Nuno Borges who exits the world’s top 50 as he is now at 52 in the world.

In Brits news Jack Draper is down two places to seven in the world after withdrawing from the US Open after his first round victory. The British number one is set to drop further down the rankings as he has announced that he is ending his season early due to an arm injury. A lucky loser spot for Billy Harris at the US Open earned his a 15 place rise to 136 in the world while Cameron Norrie’s run to the third round saw him climb up one place to 34 in the world.

On the women’s side the main storyline is Amanda Anisimova’s reaching back-to-back Grand Slam finals. After her Wimbledon humiliation at the hands of Iga Swiatek, Anisimova bounced back in style by gaining revenge on Swiatek on her way to a second consecutive Grand Slam final at the US Open. However, it wasn’t to be for the American as she lost to world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the final. As a result of Anisimova’s run to the final, the American is now at four in the world and has a very good chance of qualifying for the WTA finals for the first time.

In other ranking rises, there was a ten place rise for Naomi Osaka who reached her first Grand Slam semi-final in four years at the US Open with the former world number one at 14 in the world. There was also a 24 place rise for former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova as she reached the quarter-finals in New York before withdrawing from the tournament. Meanwhile, Barbora Krejcikova also climbed up 22 places to 40 in the world after reaching the quarter-finals as well.

Despite reaching the semi-finals and battling hard against Sabalenka, Jessica Pegula drops down three places in the world rankings to seven in the world. Last year’s semi-finalist Emma Navarro fell down the rankings by seven places to 18 in the world. There was also a big drop down the rankings for Donna Vekic who is now down 19 places in the world rankings to 68 in the world.

As for the Brits there was a two place rise for Emma Raducanu as she is now 34 in the world after reaching the third round in New York. Katie Boulter is now out of the world’s top 50 after falling down six places to 54 in the world. While Harriet Dart fell down 40 places in the world rankings to 261 in the world.
