Sinner continues to hold No. 1, Cobolli enters the top 20 | Jannik defeats Shelton | Flavio excels, but Djoko wins

London - Rising ever higher: no matter how this Wimbledon edition plays out, Sinner consolidates his lead in the ATP rankings. Last year, Sinner exited in the quarterfinals, defeated by Medvedev in the fifth set. Reaching the semifinals earns him 400 more points than he would have in 2024. Yes, but what if Alcaraz wins the tournament on Sunday? The Spaniard remains where he is: as the defending champion, he can at best maintain his existing points standings.

Cobolli enters the top 20

Meanwhile, three Italians have entered the top 20 best players in the world: 23-year-old Roman Flavio Cobolli has climbed to 19th place in the live rankings. His peer Lorenzo Musetti (last season a semi-finalist at the All England Club, but this time held back by physical problems) remains in the Top 10, virtually 7th. Bellucci also made a big leap forward after London, defeated in the third round by Norrie but after having previously overtaken Crawford and Lehecka: Mattia, 24, climbs to 63rd place, gaining 10 positions. The fourth Italian in the rankings is Matteo Berrettini, now number 36. Then in the live rankings we find Lorenzo Sonego (40, seven places higher thanks to reaching the round of 16 at Wimbledon), Matteo Arnaldi (44), Luciano Darderi (55) and Luca Nardi (94). Fabio Fognini slipped to 159, but it doesn't matter: his masterpiece match against Carlitos Alcaraz will remain in our memories, before he definitively said goodbye to playing tennis.
