Only four players remain in the French Open men’s singles draw, and there is set to be a lot of movement in the top 10 of the ATP Rankings next week.
As we arrive in the final days of the Paris Grand Slam, we look at the rankings winners and losers on the men’s side.
ATP Top 10 at start of French Open
1. Jannik Sinner, Italy – 10,380
2. Carlos Alcaraz, Spain – 8,850
3. Alexander Zverev, Germany – 7,285
4. Taylor Fritz, United States – 4,675
5. Jack Draper, Great Britain – 4,610
6. Novak Djokovic, Serbia – 4,230
7. Lorenzo Musetti, Italy – 3,860
8. Casper Ruud, Norway – 3,655
9. Alex de Minaur, Australia – 3,635
10. Holger Rune, Denmark – 3,440
Jannik Sinner could not lose the world No 1 ranking irrespective of what happened at Roland Garros, but he has ensured his lead at the top will not be reduced.
The Italian has defended his points from last year by reaching the semi-finals, and he could still increase his tally if he goes further.
World No 2 Carlos Alcaraz will need to retain his title to avoid dropping points, but he could stretch his lead over third-ranked Alexander Zverev.
Zverev has dropped 900 points after his quarter-final exit, having been a runner-up last year.
Jack Draper is up from fifth to a projected new career-high ranking of world No 4 after reaching the last 16 in Paris.
Novak Djokovic has climbed from sixth to fifth for advancing to the semi-finals and could displace Draper from fourth spot if he reaches the final.
Lorenzo Musetti has guaranteed he will jump to a new career-high ranking, with his semi-final run lifting him from seventh to sixth. The Italian could finish as high as No 4 if he wins the title.

The Winners
Sinner, Draper, Djokovic, Musetti and Paul are all clear winners at the top of the rankings.
Frances Tiafoe will climb from 16th to 13th after a run to the quarter-finals very few would have predicted.
Alexei Popyrin is on the brink of cracking the top 20, with his last 16 effort lifting him four places to a projected career-high of 21st.
Alexander Bublik is up 19 spots from 62nd for 43rd in the live rankings on the back of his stunning quarter-final run.
Daniel Altmaier (+15 from 66th to 51st) and Cameron Norrie (+21 from 81st to 60th) will be rewarded with significant jumps for reaching the fourth round.
Matteo Gigante (+38 from 167th to 129th) and Henrique Rocha (+52 from 200th to 148th) will make sizeable leaps to new career-high rankings after they each made the third round after qualifying.
The Losers
Zverev, Fritz and de Minaur are the losers among the top 10 given they all either lost significant ground or dropped places.
Two-time French Open finalist Casper Ruud will drop 750 points after a second round exit, having been a semi-finalist 12 months ago.
This will see the Norwegian fall from eighth to 16th — a significant blow with the clay season now behind him.
Stefanos Tsitsipas’ shock second round loss has resulted in him dropping from 20th to 26th as he will lose 350 points as a 2024 quarter-finalist.
Zizou Bergs made the third round at the French Open in 2024, but his opening round exit this year has seen him fall from 63rd to 50th place.
Corentin Moutet is down 18 places from 73rd to 91st after his second round effort fell short of his last 16 run in 2024.
