  • A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.

Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Alexander Zverev has moved closer to the world number one spot after winning the US Open. He now trails leader Jannik Sinner by 1,810 points. Sinner did not compete in the New York tournament due to injury. Zverev has also increased his lead over Carlos Alcaraz, who is ranked third, by 4,130 points.

Novak Djokovic has fallen to 12th place in the ATP rankings, marking the first time in eight years that he has been outside the top 10. This drop follows his first round elimination at the US Open by Mariano Navone. Djokovic previously fell out of the top 10 in February 2018, though he holds the record for the longest time spent as world number one with 428 weeks.

Several American players saw significant gains. Ben Shelton, the tournament runner up, rose to fourth place. Francis Tiafoe reached eighth place after appearing in the semifinals. Taylor Fritz also holds a top 10 position at number ten. In other ranking news, Brazilian player Joao Fonseca dropped from 26th to 29th place after missing the tournament due to injury.

In the women's rankings, Jelena Rybakina took the lead from Aryna Sabalenka after winning the US Open. Rybakina also won the Australian Open earlier this year. Tamara Korpatsch is the highest ranked German woman at 49th.
