ATP rankings update: Jannik Sinner and Alex de Minaur both reach career highs after Canadian Open exploits, Holger Rune debuts in Top 5

National Bank Open Toronto - Day 7
Alex de Minaur and Jannik Sinner both climbed spots in the ATP rankings

The latest set of ATP rankings were released on August 14, 2023, and Canadian Open finalists Jannik Sinner and Alex de Minaur both attained new career-best rankings.

Sinner won his maiden Masters 1000 title by beating the Aussie 6-4, 6-1 in the final and moved two places up to sixth in the ATP rankings. Meanwhile, De Minaur, who beat the likes of Daniil Medvedev, Taylor Fritz and Cameron Norrie en route to the title clash in Toronto, jumped to 12th.

Carlos Alcaraz remains the World No. 1 after exiting in the quarterfinals of the Canadian Open. He currently has 9395 points to his name, 600 more than Novak Djokovic. Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas remain third and fourth respectively.

Holger Rune suffered a second-round exit in Toronto, but he still managed to enter the top five of the ATP rankings for the very first time in his career. A key reason behind this was Sinner's run in the tournament, along with Casper Ruud's third-round exit and inability to defend his semifinal points from 2022.

Ruud dropped two places to seventh.

Andrey Rublev slipped to eighth after losing his opening match at the Canadian Open. Tommy Paul's semifinal run at the Masters 1000 event saw him climb a spot up to 13th, a new career-best for him. The likes of Felix Auger-Aliassime, Cameron Norrie, Borna Coric and Hubert Hurkacz all suffered drops.

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina had an impressive run at the Canadian Open, reaching the semifinals. The Spaniard has jumped 14 spots up to a career-high 23rd in the ATP rankings.

Dan Evans, on the other hand, slipped seven places down to 28th after losing in the first round, thus being unable to defend his semifinal spots from 2022.

Mackenzie McDonald impressed in Toronto as he reached the quarterfinals, a run that helped him climb 16 places up to a career-best 43rd.

Another quarterfinalist at the Masters 1000 tournament was Gael Monfils, who gave a tough fight to Jannik Sinner before losing 6-4, 4-6, 6-3. The Frenchman' s run saw him move 65 places up to 211th.
