Sabalenka stays top-ranked on women's tour despite loss, Djokovic up to third
on men's tour
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) --- Carlos Alcaraz completed a career Grand Slam of
singles victories with his Australian Open title, but there was some solace for
the man he defeated, 24-time Grand Slam singles champion Novak Djokovic.
While Alcaraz maintained his No. 1 ranking on the ATP tour ahead of Jannik
Sinner, Djokovic, who beat Sinner in the semifinals at Melbourne Park, moved up
one place to No. 3. It is the first time the 38-year-old Djokovic has been
inside the top three since August 2024.
On the WTA Tour, Aryna Sabalenka maintained her top ranking despite her loss in
the final to Elena Rybakina, Rybakina moved up two places to third in the
rankings, with Iga Swiatek in between at No. 2.
Three Americans followed in the WTA rankings --- No. 4 Amanda Anisimova, Coco
Gauff and Australian Open semifinalist Jessica Pegula. Elina Svitolina moved up
two places to No. 10 after her semifinal loss to Sabalenka at Melbourne Park.
American Learner Tien was one of the biggest improvers on either tour by moving
up five places on the ATP Tour to No. 24, a career high. The 20-year-old Tien,
who lost to now No. 4-ranked Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals, became the
youngest American man to reach the final eight of a major since 2002.
