Ben Johns is still GOATed Ben Johns. The field is just catching up.
Lots of talk about Ben Johns and is he slipping - tl;dr my model doesn't think so, but he's facing challenges from an improving field.
• Three finals in Vegas—in singles, men’s doubles and mixed. He beat Christian Alshon on his way to the singles final.
• My men’s doubles rating for Ben is almost exactly the same as it was in January 2025, slightly down from June 2026. JW Johnson, Alshon and Patriquin have made big gains over that stretch.
• Singles tells a similar story: a small estimated dip for Ben, while Haworth, Hunter Johnson and Alshon climbed. Staksrud has been near the top throughout.
• Ben can still contend in every draw. In a deeper field, but winning a triple crown would take top form on his part and a little luck.
Ratings are from the weekly update on October 3, see the final slide for methodological details.
