- Rafael Nadal (Dai-Yokozuna)
- Simona Halep (Sekiwake, ex-Ozeki)
New Career Sanyaku Rank:
- Sloane Stephens, the 39th Female Ozeki of the Open Era
- Madison Keys, the 40st Female Ozeki of the Open Era
- Dominic Thiem, the 74th Male Sekiwake of the Open Era
- Diego Schwartzman, the 87th Male Komusubi of the Open Era
- Marco Cecchinato, the 88th Male Komusubi of the Open Era
- Marco Cecchinato - for beating Dai-Yokozuna Novak Djkokovic in the quarterfinals.
- Andy Murray loses active Yokozuna status after less then 2 years due to injury that forced him to sit out the last three Grand Slam tournaments. He is scheduled to be back for Wimbledon; a semifinal or two quarterfinals in the next four slams would restore Murray to an active Yokozuna.
- Dai-Yokozuna Novak Djokokovic preserved active Yokozuna status by reaching the quarterfinals, he will need to repeat this feat at Wimbledon to remain active.
- In the ladies' game, Dai-Yokozuna Serena Williams and Yokozuna Maria Sharapova both fell short of restoring active Yokozuna status, Sharapova by just one match. This makes Serena's sister Venus Williams the only active female Yokozuna at this stage.
- Ozeki Marin Cilic held rank with a quarterfinal participation.
- Sekiwake and Australian Open Champion Caroline Wozniacki exited in the fourth round and missed a first-time Ozeki promotion by just one win. Instead of Ozeki it is Komusubi now for Wozinacki. A semifinal participation at Wimbledon would still elevate Wozniacki to the second highest rank, however.
- Also demoted to Komusubi gets last year's French Open champion and ex-Ozeki Jelena Ostapenko, who loses rank protection as a result.
