Jannik Sinner is officially the first Italian man to become World No. 1, replacing Novak Djokovic.

The latest ATP Rankings released on Monday will also determine the majority of players who will qualify for Paris Olympics.

The 22-year-old Sinner had won his maiden Grand Slam title at this year’s Australian Open. He also reached the semifinals of French Open where he lost to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz.

Alcaraz defeated Alexander Zverev in a thrilling five-set final to win his maiden Roland Garros title and overall, third career Major. The 21-year-old Spaniard, who clinched US Open in 2022 and last year’s Wimbledon, is the youngest man to win Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces. As a result of the triumph, he moved past Novak Djokovic into second place.

Djokovic, the 24-time Major champion, had to at least reach the final in Paris to keep his No. 1 ranking but the Serbian was forced to withdraw from the tournament before his quarterfinal against Casper Ruud due to a knee injury.

Alex de Minaur, who reached his first ever French Open quarterfinal, returned to Top 10 while 2021 runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas slipped to 11th.
