In the ranking of the Association of Tennis Professionals, Ilia Ivashka lost four positions and dropped out of the top-100, being now in 103rd place.
As far as the top-10 is concerned, it now looks like this: Carlos Alcaraz (Spain), Novak Djokovic (Serbia), Daniil Medvedev (Russia), Holger Rune (Denmark), Casper Ruud (Norway), Jannik Sinner (Italy), Stefanos Tsitsipas (Greece), Andrey Rublev (Russia), Taylor Fritz (USA), and Francis Tiafoe (USA).
