Rafael Jodar and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina are both on the rise in the ATP Rankings following the 2026 Shanghai Masters, while Novak Djokovic has dropped.
Davidovich Fokina defeated Jodar 1-6, 7-6(5), 6-4 in an all-Spanish final at the Masters 1000 tournament in Shanghai on Sunday.
With the points collected for winning the biggest title of his career, Davidovich Fokina has jumped from 26th to a new career-high ranking of 13th.
Jodar has also achieved a milestone by climbing two places to his new career-best position of world No 11.
World No 2 Alexander Zverev lost to Davidovich Fokina in the semi-finals in Shanghai, and he has closed the gap to top-ranked Jannik Sinner to 880 points.
Sinner ended his 2026 season early due to a knee injury, and Zverev is guaranteed to replace the Italian as the world No 1 before the end of the year.
Felix Auger-Aliassime has dropped from fifth to seventh, with Daniil Medvedev and Flavio Cobolli moving up to fifth and sixth respectively.
