Tennis, rankings: Berrettini further and further down, now he’s 34th. Muzzles on the rise

Self Lorenzo Musetti celebrates his best ranking at 16th position, for Matthew Berrettini the black moment continues, also certified by the fall in the ATP world rankings. The Roman tennis player, defeated in the all-Italian derby by Lorenzo Sonego in the first round of the Stuttgart tournament, in fact leaves the top 30, sinking to 34th place.

Djokovic in the lead, Sinner first blue

The first of the Italian tennis players in the ATP ranking is always Jannik Sinner, stable in ninth place. Musetti (+1) improves his best ranking to 16th position, while Berrettini pays dearly for the comparison with last year, where he was impeccable on grass tournaments. The 27-year-old from Rome is now 34th, but in a week he’ll drop again because the withdrawal from Queen’s (of which he is the holder of the tournament) due to persistent abdominal problems will cost him a further loss of positions. The other Italians: Sonego is 39th (+2), Arnaldi 74th (-2) and Cecchinato 87th (-8). Stable in first place Novak Djokovic ahead of Alcaraz and Medvedev, the only change in the top ten is the tenth place entry of the American Frances Tiafoewho triumphed in the ATP tournament in Stuttgart, beating the Russian Karen Khachanov and the Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime.

The WTA ranking remains unchanged

The first two WTA lawn tournaments left the world’s elite unchanged. Leading the top ten in the ranking is always the Pole Iga Swiatek: the 22-year-old from Warsaw, queen of Paris for the third time, maintains a 929-point lead over the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, the Australian Open champion, who reiterates her personal best. On the lowest step of the podium remains the winner of Rome, the Kazakh Elena Rybakina, who also confirms her “best ranking”. She established the French Caroline Garcia, fourth, ahead of the American Jessica Pegula, fifth, the Tunisian Ons Jabeur, sixth, and the other American Coco Gauff, seventh. The eighth place is confirmed by the Greek Maria Sakkari, who precedes the Czech Petra Kvitova, ninth; closing the top ten is the Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia. There are always six blue women among the first hundred in the world. Tricolor leader remains Elizabeth Cocciaretto, 41st, just ahead of Jasmine Paolini, 42nd. Instead, both Camila Giorgi, now 48th, and Lucia Bronzetti, 62nd, take a step back, while Martina Trevisan, 63rd, is stable. Sara Errani slips back 13 positions, 83rd.
