Here is all you need to know about the latest ATP and WTA Rankings released on October 3, 2022.

ATP

Spaniards Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal were ranked world number one and two, respectively in the latest ATP Rankings released on Monday.

While teenager Alcaraz became the youngest World No. 1 by winning the US Open, 22-time Grand Slam winner Nadal moved up one spot to World No. 2 after Norwegian Casper Ruud’s loss to eventual champion Yoshihito Nishioka of Japan in the quarterfinals of the Korea Open.

Alcaraz and Nadal duo is the first from Spain to be ranked one and two in the ATP Rankings. It is also the first pair of compatriots to occupy the top two spots since Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi in 2000.

Both Alcaraz and Nadal have not played a singles tournament since Flushing Meadows.

Nadal’s was last seen in action during the Laver Cup in London where he partnered Roger Federer in a doubles loss in what was the Swiss Maestro’s farewell match.

Nishioka moved up 15 places to a career-high ranking of 41 by winning the Korea Open. Canadian Denis Shapovalov, who lost to Nishioka in the final in Seoul, climbed up two spots to 22.

Novak Djokovic, playing his first singles tournament since winning Wimbledon in July, clinched his 89th career singles title in Tel Aviv. Djokovic, 21-time Grand Slam champion, remains World No. 7.

Marc-Andrea Huesler clinched his maiden ATP Tour title in Sofia with a win over Danish teenager Holger Rune in the final. Huesler, who became the first Swiss man to win a title on tour since Federer in Basel 2019, made a massive jump of 31 places to 64. Rune matched his career-high ranking of 26 by climbing up five spots.

Italian Jannik Sinner, who was the defending champion in Sofia, was forced to retire during his semifinal against Rune due to an injury. Sinner slipped two places to 12 and Hubert Hurkacz replaced him as World No. 12.
