A new ATP top 10 has emerged as Indian Wells and Miami Open draw nearer, after which Boris Becker is expecting significant changes.
Carlos Alcaraz just won the Qatar Open, the latest tournament in the calendar alongside the Rio Open and the Delray Beach Open.
Unsurprisingly, Alcaraz keeps his place as the ATP number one, followed by Jannik Sinner in second and Novak Djokovic in third.
Taylor Fritz and Felix Auger-Aliassime have swapped places in seventh and eighth respectively in the only changes, which arrive shortly before Indian Wells and the Miami Open.

Boris Becker predicts big ATP ranking changes after Sunshine Swing
Tennis legend Boris Becker, who reached number one in the ATP rankings during his fantastic career, has now shared his take on the current scenario.
Becker shared the new ATP top 10 on X, accompanied by the message: “500 points between 4-9… there will be movements after the Sunshine Swing!”
With 4,555 points, Alexander Zverev currently occupies fourth spot in the rankings, while Ben Shelton is ninth with 4,050.
Meanwhile, fresh from his success at the Qatar Open, Alcaraz is well ahead with 13,350, followed by Sinner’s 10,400.
Is it time to start worrying about Jannik Sinner yet?
He has not looked himself in 2026…
What does the upcoming ATP schedule look like?
The highly anticipated Sunshine Swing returns to the ATP calendar early next month, kicked off by Indian Wells.
It starts on March 4th, with the ATP Masters 1000 tournament immediately followed by another – the Miami Open – in the schedule.
Three ATP 250 events in Houston, Marrakesh and Bucharest complete the March calendar, while April starts with the ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo.
| Tournament | Level | Surface | Dates |
| Dubai | ATP 500 | Hard outdoor | 23-28 February |
| Acapulco | ATP 500 | Hard outdoor | 23-28 February |
| Santiago | ATP 250 | Clay outdoor | 23 February – 1 March |
| Indian Wells | ATP 1000 | Hard outdoor | 4-15 March |
| Miami Open | ATP 1000 | Hard outdoor | 18-29 March |
Before the Sunshine Swing, however, more ranking points are up for grabs at tournaments in Dubai, Acapulco and Chile.
The likes of Auger-Aliassime and Jack Draper are playing in Dubai, while Alexander Zverev and Alex de Minaur are in Acapulco, both of which are ATP 500 events.
