Post-Asian Swing ATP Power Rankings: Alcaraz Remains at the Top

4. Taylor Fritz

ATP Rank: 5
ATP Race: 4

Fritz didn’t have a great outing in Shanghai, but he did make the final in Tokyo, where he gave Alcaraz a strong battle. Overall, the American has remained steadfast, and we’re betting on him having a couple of strong indoor weeks. His skill set generally translates well indoors, and no one has really played better to warrant being ahead of Fritz, who is the last man to beat Alcaraz in a tennis match (even if it was a lesser one at the Laver Cup).

5. Daniil Medvedev

ATP Rank: 14
ATP Race: 15

Daniil Medvedev had an extraordinary event in Shanghai, showing some of the level that’s been missing for the past few months. He played at his best and nearly made the final, which is why he’s risen so high on this list. Indoor tennis has always been his strength, so with a level like this, expect Medvedev to possibly make a push for Turin. It seems unlikely he’ll revert to the poor form we’ve seen from him earlier this year, as it genuinely seemed like things clicked for him in Shanghai.

6. Alex de Minaur

ATP Rank: 7
ATP Race: 7

Alex de Minaur had a strong showing in Shanghai, which is why he’s risen on this list. He’s been a fantastic indoor player for many years, and it’s likely he’ll be in the mix for Turin in the coming weeks. Overall, he’s just very solid, and consistency is the hardest thing to maintain in tennis. If he continues to perform at this level, he’ll remain firmly in the Top 10, especially as other players seem to be more inconsistent.

About Jack Beatnik

I'm a longtime sports fan and writer who spent most of his time writing about tennis. I've been doing this for over 5 years and it's been a blast. I mostly enjoy writing longer pieces which allow me to ruminate on all things tennis. Besides tennis I'm also very interested in basketball and football or as some call it soccer.
