Novak Djokovic fell to 12th place in the ATP rankings — first time outside Top 10 since 2018
After the US Open defeat, Djokovic is outside the Top 10 for the first time since 2018.
ATP published the latest rankings: at the top are still Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz, but the recent result from the US Open brought a significant change for Novak Djokovic — as of this Monday he is ranked 12th.
Who is at the top and what changed
Jannik Sinner is first with 11,500 points, Alexander Zverev is second with 9,690 points, and Carlos Alcaraz is third with 5,560 points. Fourth place belongs to Ben Shelton, for whom this is a career-high.

([live-tennis.eu](https://live-tennis.eu/nl/atp-ranglijst-live?utm_source=openai))In 11th place is Arthur Fils with 3,150 points, while 13th is Learner Tien with 2,755 points.
([age202.com](https://www.age202.com/atp-ranking?utm_source=openai))Novak is entered for the Beijing tournament later this month, although an entry list does not necessarily mean he will travel and play, and he also appears on the list for the exhibition tournament “Six Kings” in Riyadh.
([atptour.com](https://www.atptour.com/en/news/beijing-2026-entry-list?utm_source=openai))These changes in the rankings will affect draws and ambitions for the end of the season; for Djokovic there is a decision whether to focus on regaining form before the final tournaments.
