 Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Cam Williams and it's time to go through the weekly ranking show and the power rankings for this week We've just had the Rome open finish with both the men and the women competing in that one And we've got some massive changes to not only the normal rankings, but also the power rankings Let's start with the past results though because we only had two tournaments last week both in Rome Let's check who won starting with the women's event and Igor Shriyantek She wins another title five in a row. She beats Onstrobor in the final six two six two So pretty easy final again, and Shriyantek is at a good couple of weeks So that will affect her in the power rankings this week and having a look at the men's final as well We had Novak Djokovic winning his first title of the year beating Stefano CitiPas six loves seven six And again that will affect the power rankings because CitiPas was pretty high up and Djokovic is yet to make the power rankings So we'll see what happens with that So let's start with the WTA rankings for this week just the normal rankings and Igor Shriyantek Stays on top of the rankings with Kredjokovic at number two even though we haven't seen her play for a long time That might change after the French open but also comes in at three, Sakri at four, Contributed five But Djokovic she goes up one spot to number six which is a Criotide for her Sabalinka also going up one spot to number seven with Pushkova dropping down to number eight That's two spots lower than last week and that's because she didn't make the final of Rome this year Which she had done the previous year Collins comes in at number nine and Muggeruta at number ten for the rankings Having a look at the WTA race at the final and Igor Shriyantek continues to extend her lead staying at number one With Djokovic staying at number two and Bedosso number three But it changed in the middle with Pagula going down one spot and Sakri going up one spot after Sakri made the quarter finals of Rome So she got rewarded for that so Sakri at four Pagula at five Collins comes in at number six Contributed seven, Keys at eight, Haliput nine and Bencic rounds out the top ten for this week on the race to the finals Having a look at the ATP rankings this week and not too many changes with Djokovic Staying at world number one after winning at Rome, Mehvedev at number two, Zverev at number three But Stevanos Sidze pass he goes up to number four in the world pushing Raffer down to number five And that has got big implications on the French open because of course the rankings for this week are locked in for the seeds For the French opens I mean Sidze pass will be a top four seed going to the French open next week Raffer at number five We've got Elqueriz still at number six Rubelev at seven but Kasparud He's gone up to number eight after making the semi-finals in Rome That's two spots higher than last week Elias seems stays at number nine and Baratini drops down two spots to number ten Having a look at the race of the finals now and Raffer still stays at number one in the ATP race of the finals But Sidze pass he goes up one spot to number two after making the final in Rome pushing Elqueriz down to number three Who didn't play in Rome last week? Elias seems he comes in at number four That's two spots higher than last week with Zverev at number five three spots higher than last week Both doing well in Rome last week Rubelev is going down two spots to number six after having a bad week last week in Rome Mehvedev goes also down two spots down number seven after not playing last week and Fritz goes down one spot to number eight Kasparud comes in at number nine and Novak Djokovic He makes his way into the race of the finals for the first time this year 18 spots higher than last week after winning a thousand points for that Rome trophy All right, let's go have a look at the power rankings for this week And of course with a big tournament like Rome There's gonna be some massive changes coming at number 20 this week is Neymar Sarkar now She didn't actually play Rome last week and she's gone down one spot lower than last week because she didn't play and a Lot of players who did well last week got rewarded in the power ranks She gets pushed down to number 20 this week. We're coming in at number 19 Kasparud having a very good last week He is brand new to the power rankings So we see him for the first time at number 19 getting to the semi-final's of course last week coming in number 18 Is Sabalenco who is also new to the power rankings. She also met the semi-finals last week in Rome Losing to Shriantek So it had some really good wins and features in the power rankings for the first time coming at number 17 is Jill Teichman who's had a really good couple of weeks both in Madrid and Rome and has been some really good players over those two weeks Including Pliscava, Rabakina and Fernandez over the last two weeks So she deserves to be in the top of the power ranks after some really good form coming at number 16 is Taylor Fritz Now he's gone up one spot higher than last week despite withdrawing from Rome So he gets a little bit of a boost even though he didn't play coming at number 15 is Pella Bedossa, that's four spots lower than last week and only a month ago She was number four in the power rankings now She's dropped down didn't have a great week last week in Rome lost in the third round to Kazakina So after that bad loss, but also continues to drop down and her form is not great going into the French coming in Number 14 is Daniel Mevedev one spot lower than last week I've been not playing in Rome and he is playing this week So maybe he can boost his ranking just before the French coming in number 13 is Samona Hala That is three spots lower than last week She lost in the second round to Collins which wasn't a massive upset But still based on her form and Collins form. It wasn't a great result. So she's gone down three spots coming in number 12 Is Belinda Benchich. She's going down four spots lower than last week after falling in the second round to Anissa Mover In the second round, which isn't a bad loss But again not great form over the last few weeks for Benchich who lost in the third round of Madrid and second round of Rome So not great form going into the French open coming in at number 11 is Anissa Mover She's gone up seven spots higher than last week So that win against Benchich and also a win against Collins eventually losing to Savalenko That is a very good week getting to the quarter-finals She gets up in number 11 in the power rankings going into the French coming in at number 10 is Maria Sacri Five-spot higher than last week. So she's kind of redeemed herself after a really good week beating Alexandrova Goff along the way End up losing to Drupal, which is not a bad loss based on the way Drupal's played over the last few weeks So so Sacri back in the top 10 of the power ranks coming in number nine is Andre Rubelev He's gone down three spots lower than last week and that's because he had a bad week in Rome out of all the top guys He was probably the biggest upset in the first few days losing in the second round to Krayenovic So didn't even get to win one match not great form going into the French open for Rubelev coming in number eight is Yannick's Sinner he's gone down one spot lower than last week and he made a pretty good effort last week lost to Sidney pass in the quarter-finals, which is not a bad loss But because other players did well he did get pushed down coming in number seven is Alexander Zverev He's had some great form over the last couple of weeks made the semi-finals of Rome last week lost to Sidney pass Of course made the final of Madrid the week before and also made the semi-finals of Monte Carlo So his clay court form going into the French open very very good coming in number six is Novak Djokovic The first time we're seeing him in 2022 in the power rankings He is brand new to these rankings and after winning Rome beating a lot of good players along the way Including rude alias seem Sidney pass all players that have been in the power rankings or are in the power rankings currently So he definitely deserves his top spot at number six coming in number five is Rafa Nadal He's gone down two spots lower than last week and he was number two in the power rankings for the first month of These rankings and now he's dropped down number five going into the French Of course of course lost to Shapovalov in the third round due to injury But also because Shapo played well So Rafa really struggling and also going to the French open without a title on clay this year Which is going to be interesting to see how he plays so he comes in number five coming in number four Is Stefano Sidney pass making the final of Rome He goes up one spot higher than last week also beating players like Sinner Zverev and Demetrival on the way very good wins only losing to Djokovic in the end So he comes in number four in the power rankings going into the French open coming in number three is Anstjabor she's gone up one spot higher than last week after another really really good week because the Madrid champion And then end up losing to Shriantek in the final of Rome So very good form going into the French open She beat Zachary and Kazakino along the way to get to that final so Anstjabor number three in the power rankings That is a huge confidence boost for her going to the French coming in at number two is Carlos Alcárez Didn't play last week so his ranking didn't change But because of his great form he stays up the top of the power rankings very very strong clay court season And we'll be going into the French open as one of the favorites and still at number one just like every other week It's Igor Shriantek great win streak 28 match win streak She won without losing a set in Rome and she beat some good players of course along the way Djokovic in the final Sabalenka as well Also as a raker in there as well So she has had some great wins to add to her amazing title run That's five titles in a row and she will be well and truly the favorite going into the French And again tops the power rankings for another week So you have it the power rankings for another week and those are the power rankings going into the French open So it shows there some of the best players also most informed players at the moment And some of the players that maybe have dropped down the power rankings haven't got great form Someone like a roublev who's you know not not playing great at the moment or the last few weeks going into that French open But Djokovic is in the power rankings for the first time Let me know down in the comments below who is missing from the power rankings I think now the power rankings are starting to take some shape especially with Djokovic being a lot more active and of course winning But the French open it's gonna be a big big tournament Of course the second Grand Slam of the year power rankings are gonna change pretty dramatically We could have a completely different list come this time in three weeks time But let me know down in the comments below. What do you think of the power ranks and who are you shocked to see or who are you excited to see in them?
