Jannik Sinner is confirmed to remain World No. 1 even after serving a three-month doping suspension, as Alexander Zverev failed to capitalize on his chance. The German lost to Sinner's compatriot Matteo Berrettini in the second round of the Monte-Carlo Masters, which ended his chance of ascending to the top spot.
Sinner successfully defended the Australian Open to kick off his year, decimating World No. 2 Alexander Zverev in the final in straight sets. However, the announcement of his shocking doping suspension meant that there was a chance for Zverev to take Sinner's spot at the summit of men's tennis.
After the Australian Open, Sinner and Zverev were at 11,830 and 8,135 points, respectively. Though Sinner dropped points from his absence in Rotterdam and Miami, Zverev's disappointing performances over the course of Sinner's suspension have confirmed that men's tennis won't be getting a new World No. 1.
