The Canadian Open offers the first key opportunity for players to rack up big points since May – and the men’s ATP rankings look particularly spicy.
Ranking points were stripped from this year’s Wimbledon tournaments due to the All England Club’s decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players. 2021’s points were lost and not replaced, meaning Novak Djokovic has plunged to No.6 in the world rankings despite winning at SW19.
Djokovic has withdrawn from this tournament over his vaccination status, leaving the door open for new No.1 Daniil Medvedev to capitalise.
Rafael Nadal has also withdrawn from the tournament due to injury, meaning Medvedev will be joined by Carlos Alcaraz, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Casper Ruud at the top of the seedings as the next-gen stars take over.
In the women’s game, world No.1 Iga Swiatek continues to dominate proceedings, while British ace Emma Raducanu will be desperate to pick up sizeable points here before her 2021 US Open points are ripped from her at the end of the month. She is set to plummet down the charts unless she performs well over the next few weeks.
