The 2025 Miami Open is reaching its decisive stages, but several top players have already bowed out in the early rounds. Top seed Alexander Zverev, who had a chance to close the gap on Jannik Sinner in the rankings, was eliminated by France’s Arthur Fils in the Round of 16.
This exit leaves the Italian, who is serving a three-month suspension, comfortably at No. 1 in the rankings. In fact, despite not playing and losing 1,500 points since the end of the Australian Open, Sinner still holds a 2,685-point lead over Zverev.
Meanwhile, the German loses 300 points this week, while Carlos Alcaraz, who was knocked out in the second round by David Goffin, drops 190 points but remains in third place. Taylor Fritz and Novak Djokovic continue to gain points as they are still in the tournament, with the Serbian set to face Sebastian Korda in the quarterfinals.
The player dropping out of the Top 10 is Daniil Medvedev, who lost in the second round to Spain’s Jaume Munar. The Russian dropped 390 points this week. Additionally, Stefanos Tsitsipas moves up one spot, while Alex de Minaur returns to the Top 10 after briefly falling to No. 11 following Indian Wells.

When is Jannik Sinner set to come back to the tour?
Sinner agreed to his suspension last month as part of a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency. WADA had appealed last year’s decision by the International Tennis Integrity Agency, which had fully cleared Sinner, ruling that his case involved accidental contamination.
His suspension runs until May 4, after which he plans to compete in the Italian Open (May 7-18), Hamburg (May 17-24), the French Open (May 25-June 8), Halle (June 16-22), and Wimbledon (June 30-July 13).
