India, Sept. 15 -- Newly-crowned US Open champion Alexander Zverev not only consolidated his position as the world No. 2 in the latest ATP Rankings released on Monday following the end of the 2026 Grand Slam season, but also reduced the gap to leader Jannik Sinner to 1,810 points. He has also nearly doubled his points tally over third-placed Carlos Alcaraz.

However, Novak Djokovic suffered an eight-year low after crashing out of the US Open in the opening round. The 39-year-old suffered a shock 7-6(5), 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 defeat to Argentina's Mariano Navone two weeks ago in a match that lasted four hours and 36 minutes. It marked his earliest exit from a Grand Slam since he suffered a first-round defeat at the Australian Open in 2006.
