Tennis ranking FAQs
Tennis rankings are based on a rolling 52-week system. Players earn points based on their performance in tournaments, with more points awarded for winning prestigious events. The points a player earned at a tournament a year ago are deducted, and the new points from the current year’s tournament are added.
Sinner retained his top spot because he still had a significant lead in points (2210) over his closest competitor, Carlos Alcaraz, even after the deduction of 400 points. Sinner’s dominant season has earned him a buffer that allows him to maintain his position even with slight point losses.
The Monte Carlo masters is a prestigious ATP masters 1000 event. Performing well at this tournament significantly impacts a player’s ranking. Winning the tournament allows players to gain a high number of ranking points, as Alcaraz demonstrated, while early exits can lead to point deductions and a slide in the rankings, as seen with Zverev and Tsitsipas.
Musetti’s extraordinary run to the final in Monte Carlo earned him valuable ranking points. This success allowed him to climb to eleventh in the world, marking the highest ranking of his career.
tsitsipas’s failure to defend his title at the Monte Carlo Masters (he won in 2021 and 2022) resulted in a significant point deduction. The number of points he earned in previous years were removed from his total, which caused him to fall out of the top 10.
Casper Ruud experienced a drop of three positions in the rankings after his quarter-final exit at the monte Carlo Masters. Ruud was the runner-up in the tournament the previous year, so he lost a significant number of points.
Players need to consistently perform well in tournaments, especially in higher-level events like the Masters 1000 and Grand Slams. Winning matches and advancing deep into tournaments earns more ranking points. Maintaining a high level of performance over a 52-week period is key to climbing the rankings.
