- none
Other noteworthy developments:
- Dai-Yokozuna (Great Grand Champion) Rafael Nadal won his 22st grand slam title. He is now two titles clear of both Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, which more then compensates for the latter's deeper record in terms of final and semifinal participations. Nadal therefore moves - for the first time in his career - to the #1 spot in the results based open area top 20 ranking.
- Ozeki and 2022 Australian Open Champion Ashleigh Barty retired surprisingly before the French Open. Sanyaku tennis will carry her in the rankings though until she moves organically out of them, for now she is a kadoban Ozeki. The ladies' game remains without an activie Yokozuna - French Open winner and newly promoted Ozeki Iga Swiatek would have to win the 2022 Wimbledon tournament to change this.
- Alexander Zverev defended Ozeki rank, but had to retire injured in his semifinal with Rafael Nadal. Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas went out early while Matteo Berrettini withdrew. They therefore go kadbon and need to reach the quarterfinals at Wimbledon to defend Ozeki rank. Medvedev won't have this opportunity as the Wimbledon organizers disqualified him from participating on the basis of his nationality - a decision that Sanyaku Tennis considers mistaken
