Carlos Alcaraz into the history books after the latest ATP Rankings update

The most notable change in the ATP rankings after the conclusion of this year’s Hamburg Open is Carlos Alcaraz’s entry into the top 5 of the rankings as he now sits at number 5 in the world and he became the youngest player to break into the top 5 rankings since his compatriot Rafael Nadal did so back in 2005 while just being 18 years old. Alcaraz who is still 9 months away from turning 20 has made history by being ranked this high.

Starting his 10th week on the top of the rankings, Daniil Medvedev still sits comfortably at the number 1 position in the world even after missing this year’s Wimbledon due to the ban on Russian and Belarusian players, the Russian is followed by Alexander Zverev at number 2, Rafael Nadal at number 3.

Stefanos Tsitsipas at number 4 and of course Carlos Alcaraz at number 5 as Casper Ruud dropped down to number 6. The rest of the top 10 is unchanged as Novak Djokovic still sits at number 7 with Andrey Rublev at number 8, Felix Auger-Aliassime at number 9, and Jannik Sinner at number 10.
