Jannik Sinner leads the ATP Race, the ranking that takes into account only results from the current season. The world No. 1 leads with 5,950 points, accumulated primarily thanks to the five titles he won at the Masters 1000 tournaments in Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid, and Rome (1,000 points each), as well as his semifinal appearance at the Australian Open, which earned him 800 points.

Behind him, however, Alexander Zverev continues his pursuit. The German currently holds second place with 5,240 points, 710 points behind the Italian, but could further narrow the gap thanks to the ATP 500 tournament in Halle. A victory in the semifinals against American Taylor Fritz would bring him to 5,370 points, just 580 points behind Sinner. If he were to win the tournament, however, he would climb to 5,540 points, narrowing the gap to 410 points.

In third place is Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz with 3,650 points, followed by Italy’s Flavio Cobolli, who is fourth with 2,620 points after his impressive run that took him all the way to the Roland Garros final. It’s worth noting that the top eight players in the ATP Race will qualify for the ATP Finals, the season-ending event to be held in Turin in November.
