Alexander Zverev reaches world number one in ATP rankings

On November 2, 2026, Alexander Zverev officially ascended to the number one position in the ATP world rankings for the first time in his career. The 29-year-old German player, who secured two Grand Slam titles this year, is the 30th player in history to achieve this milestone and the first German to do so since Boris Becker. Zverev is set to finish the 2026 season at the top of the rankings, as his main competitor, Jannik Sinner, has ended his season early due to an injury.

In other tennis news, Elena Rybakina remains at the top of the WTA rankings, a position she will hold through the end of the year. Greek player Maria Sakkari holds the 30th position with 1,682 points, while Stefanos Tsitsipas has fallen to the 34th spot. The ATP top ten also saw significant changes, with Carlos Alcaraz remaining in third, and Rafael Jodar entering the top ten for the first time in his career, just 287 days after his professional tour debut.
