Sawt Falasteen - Zverev second in ATP rankings behind Sinner after Wimbledon

Sinner, 24, retained his crown on the London grass against Zverev -- who had won his first Grand Slam title at the French Open just weeks earlier -- 6-7 (7/9), 7-6 (7/2), 6-3, 6-4.

The 29-year-old German moves up one spot to push Spain's Carlos Alcaraz down to third.

Spaniard Alcaraz was a finalist against Sinner at Wimbledon last year but was unable to compete with a wrist injury that also forced him to withdraw from Roland Garros.

Veteran Serb Novak Djokovic, 39, who fell to Sinner in the Wimbledon semi-finals, climbed one place to seventh.

Britain's Arthur Fery leapt 78 places from 114th to 36th after the wildcard's run to the semi-finals where he lost to Zverev.

"It's going to change things, for sure," Fery, 24, said.

"I'm going to be able to play Tour events at least for a full year, hopefully for more. It's going to be interesting to see how I deal with that change and everything that brings in terms of expectations."
