BOLZANO. Jannik Sinner remains comfortably at the top of the ATP world tennis rankings despite the 400 points that were taken away from him following a positive test for an anabolic steroid in March, the same points scored in the semi-final of the Indian Wells tournament.
The theory of involuntary and accidental contamination by clostebol contained in an ointment was considered well-founded (the South Tyrolean tennis player was withdrawn from the prize of 300 thousand euros resulting from his path in the competition).
A few days before the start of the US Open, one of the four Grand Slam tournaments, the blue team maintains a lead of almost 2 thousand points on the second in the ranking, the Serbian Novak Djokovic, who in Flushing Meadows (New York) will defend the title he won last year.
The ATP ranking of the top 10 players updated after the Italian’s penalty is as follows:
- Jannik Sinner 9360 points
- Novak Djokovic 7460
- Carlos Alcaraz (Spain) 7360
- Alexander Zverev (Germania) 7035
- Daniil Medvedev (Russia) 6275
- Andrey Rublev (Russia) 4805
- Hubert Hurkacz (Polonia) 4055
- Casper Ruud (Norway) 3855
- Grigor Dimitrov (Bulgaria) 3655
- Alex De Minaur (Australia) 3435
