ATP Rankings: Novak Djokovic clinches incredible top 10 landmark, Ben Shelton reaches new career-high

The latest edition of the ATP Rankings is out, and Novak Djokovic has reached yet another remarkable milestone.

Djokovic, who was beaten by Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon semi-finals in his most recent match, has entered his 900th week in the top 10 of the rankings.

The Serbian, currently ranked sixth, holds the record for the most weeks spent as the ATP world No 1 with 428.

The only men to hold a position in the top 10 for more weeks than Djokovic are his greatest rivals: Roger Federer (968) and Rafael Nadal (912).

Djokovic is currently on a streak of 345 straight weeks in the top 10 — a run that began in July 2018. The 38-year-old amassed his other 555 weeks as a top 10 player consecutively between March 2007 and November 2017.

In the week after Wimbledon, there were ATP 250 tournaments in Los Cabos (hard-court), Bastad and Gstaad (both clay).

Andrey Rublev (Los Cabos), Casper Ruud (Gstaad) and Francisco Cerundolo (Bastad) were the only top 20 players in action, but none went beyond the semi-finals at their respective events.

Former world No 10 Denis Shapovalov has jumped five places from 33rd to 28th after defeating Aleksandar Kovacevic in the Los Cabos final. Kovacevic has climbed from 76th to 66th.

Alexander Bublik was the champion in Gstaad, where he overcame Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the championship match. Bublik has moved up four places to 30th, while Cerdundolo has surged 28 spots to 81st — two below his career-high of 79th.

At the Swedish Open, Luciano Darderi saw off Jesper de Jong, a triumph that has lifted him from 55th to 46th. For reaching his first ATP final, de Jong has been rewarded with a new career-high ranking of 83rd (+23 from 106th).

Ben Shelton has reached a new career-best of world No 8 despite not playing last week as Holger Rune has fallen to ninth after losing the points from his Hamburg Open quarter-final run in 2024.

Arthur Fils has fallen out of the top 20, sliding from 15th to 21st, as he has dropped the 500 points from his Hamburg title last year. Zverev, who was a 2024 Hamburg runner-up, has lost 280 points but remains the world No 3.
