Jannik Sinner has pushed past a new milestone in the ATP rankings following his Madrid triumph, becoming the first man in almost a decade to exceed 14,000 points. A few weeks after his Monte Carlo victory took him from 12,400 to 13,350, his Madrid title raises his total from 13,350 to 14,350.

The last player to hold more than 14,000 points was Novak Djokovic, who had 14,040 during the week of October 3, 2016. Sinner’s 14,350 is the highest total recorded since Djokovic had 14,840 during the 2016 US Open weeks of August 29 and September 5, 2016.

Sinner can still add up to 1,050 points during the remainder of the clay swing. That includes a potential 350-point gain in Rome, where he earned 650 for reaching the final last year and the champion now receives 1,000, and up to 700 points at Roland Garros, where he collected 1,300 as a finalist last year while the champion is awarded 2,000.

The Madrid results produced notable ranking breakthroughs further down the list. Rafael Jodar climbs from No. 42 to No. 34 for his first appearance inside the Top 40 after a run to his first Masters 1000 quarterfinal. The Spanish teenager only entered the Top 50 two weeks ago and the Top 100 five weeks ago.

Alexander Blockx jumps from No. 69 to No. 36, moving into the Top 40 for the first time after reaching his first Masters 1000 semifinal. The 21-year-old Belgian had first broken into the Top 100 in January.

Two players return to the Top 20 this week. Arthur Fils, a former No. 14, rises from No. 25 to No. 17 after reaching the Madrid semifinals, his first Top 20 appearance since last summer. Cam Norrie, a former No. 8, moves from No. 23 to No. 19 after a fourth-round showing, his first time inside the Top 20 in more than two years.

On the WTA side, Marta Kostyuk records the largest leap after capturing the biggest title of her career at the WTA 1000 event in Madrid, moving from No. 23 to No. 15 and surpassing her previous career-high of No. 16. Hailey Baptiste rises from No. 32 to No. 25 for a Top 30 debut after reaching her first WTA 1000 semifinal and fighting off six match points to defeat reigning world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinals.

Mirra Andreeva was overcome by emotion following a straight-set defeat in the final of the Mutua Madrid Open, the latest in a series of high-stakes setbacks for the Russian teenager.

Andreeva fell 6-3, 7-5 to Marta Kostyuk, suffering her first career loss in three WTA 1000-level finals. She had used her temperament as fuel earlier in the week but was unable to carry it through while favoured against Kostyuk, losing in just under an hour and a half to the Ukrainian for the second time this year.

Once the match ended, Andreeva sat in her courtside chair and buried her face in her hands before addressing the crowd and her team. She thanked them “for always being there for [her] and supporting me at all times, when it’s easy and when it’s hard.”

As tears came, she said, “I’m sorry. I promised myself I’m not gonna cry. I’m sorry,” and placed her runner-up plate in her line of sight between her and her support team in the stands “because it’s easier like this,” she added. “I know it’s sometimes maybe not easy to work with me. But I really appreciate all your support and everything you do for me.”

Speaking to reporters later, Andreeva acknowledged the depth of her disappointment. “every time I lose, every time it’s like the end of the world to me.” She continued, “I don’t know, sometimes I see other players, like, smile right after the defeat, right after the matches they lost,” and added, “To me, I don’t understand how people do it. I wish I could do it.”

She described losing as “very disappointing and very painful to me,” and voiced a hope for emotional progress: “I hope that maybe in the future this can improve and I can maybe, after the match that I lose, I can talk about it right away and not take some time before starting to talk about it.” Despite what she called a “hard day,” Andreeva said she hoped to lift her spirits with a victory in Sunday’s doubles final alongside Diana Shnaider.

Marta Kostyuk defeated No. 9 seed Mirra Andreeva 6-3, 7-5 to claim her first WTA 1000 title at the Mutua Madrid Open. The one hour and 21-minute victory extended Kostyuk’s clay-court run this spring to 12 consecutive wins, the longest streak of her career.

Marta Kostyuk, Roland Garros dark horse?

Kostyuk entered the clay season having won a WTA 250 in Rouen, France, and she also recorded a win in Billie Jean King Cup play for Ukraine over Magda Linette. Those results preceded her breakthrough at the first WTA 1000 event of the clay-court calendar.

Her win over Andreeva in the final was straight sets but hard-fought, with the second set finishing 7-5. The match marked a significant milestone for Kostyuk, who will rise to a new career-high ranking of No. 15 on Monday, surpassing her previous best of No. 16.

The title in Madrid caps a rapid sequence of form on clay for Kostyuk this spring. Her run through a WTA 250, national team competition and now a WTA 1000 demonstrates a notable and sustained level of play on the surface. The victory in Madrid adds the biggest trophy of her career to date and signals a shift in her ranking and standing as the clay season moves forward.
