Auger-Aliassime top Canadian in world tennis rankings at 13 after U.S. Open success

Canadian tennis sensation Felix Auger-Aliassime has reached a career-high ranking of No. 13 in the world after his impressive performance at the U.S. Open. The 25-year-old from Montreal made it to the men’s singles semifinals, marking his first Grand Slam semifinal appearance since the 2021 U.S. Open.
Auger-Aliassime’s remarkable run at the tournament included victories over top players such as Alexander Zverev, Andrey Rublev, and Alex de Minaur. Although he fell to then-world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the semifinals, his performance earned him a significant jump in the rankings.
Meanwhile, fellow Canadian Denis Shapovalov also saw a rise in his ranking, moving up three spots to No. 26 after reaching the third round in New York. On the other hand, Gabriel Diallo from Montreal dropped two places to No. 35 following an early exit in the tournament.
In the women’s circuit, Carlos Alcaraz reclaimed the No. 1 ranking in the ATP rankings after defeating Jannik Sinner in the U.S. Open final. Amanda Anisimova also made a significant leap in the WTA rankings, climbing five spots to a career-best No. 4 after finishing as the runner-up to Aryna Sabalenka.
Alcaraz expressed his excitement at achieving his goals and reclaiming the top spot in the rankings. The Spaniard’s victory over Sinner in the final propelled him back to the No. 1 position, dethroning his opponent who had held the spot for 65 weeks.
Novak Djokovic, the 24-time major champion, also saw a rise in his ranking, moving up three spots to No. 4 after his semifinal exit at the hands of Alcaraz. Sabalenka retained her No. 1 ranking after clinching her second consecutive U.S. Open title with a win over Anisimova.
Anisimova’s impressive performance in reaching back-to-back major finals has seen her climb up the rankings, showcasing her resilience and talent on the court. With players like Alcaraz, Anisimova, and others making waves in the tennis world, the competition is heating up as we head into the next season of tournaments.
