Kyrgios described Sinner and Iga Swiatek’s positive doping tests as “disgusting” as he spoke to the media ahead of his return to action after a long injury lay-off.

The combative Australian has been an outspoken critic of Sinner since he escaped a ban following a positive doping test after an anabolic steroid was found to be in his system.

The World Anti-Doping Agenda have appealed a decision by the International Tennis Integrity Agency to clear Sinner of blame and Kygios piled the pressure on the defending Australian Open champion as he spoke to the media in Brisbane.

“I have to be outspoken about it because I don’t think there’s enough people that are speaking about it. I think people are trying to sweep it under the rug.

Just two months into the 2024 tennis season and after our first edition of our ATP power rankings we are definitely starting to see some players rise and potentially challenge Novak Djokovic for the top spot on the ATP tour. In fact, as you will see below, we see one player already overtaking Djokovic. For now, at least.

Following a busy week in Rotterdam, Buenos Aires, and Delray Beach last week – and it should be noted Djokovic played in none of those tournaments – but with mostly expected results, there were not many changes. The top of the rankings changed and the bottom as well.

The question is, of course, how long the new number one can stay atop the rankings. He has not lost this year so far. Here are the rankings as we see fit now.

Power ranking the ATP top ten

1. Jannik Sinner (Previous ranking – 2)

Following his triumph in Rotterdam there is really no doubt that Sinner is the hottest name in the sport right now. The past few months have been incredible for the 22-year-old and with some big wins over players below him on the list in recent times, he has certainly justified his spot at number one.
